| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 23, 2006 Made a good appearance, poured a clear copper with a foamy beige head that settled into a thin lacing, good carbonation.
Had a sweet malty nose, caramel and grain nutty with a light fruity spiciness at the edges.
A crisp, dry and smooth medium bodied mouthfeel, good drinkability.
Nice and grainy taste, toasted with a soft roastiness, nutty with a subtle sweet caramel, a fruity spiciness in the middle with a mild bitterness and a dry grainy nut bready finish.
I’ve never had the Austin, Texas brewed Celis, so I can’t compare, but I thought this was tasty and quite enjoyable, a good mixing of styles.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 20, 2006 Bottle from brewery- Pours hazy amber/brown with a rocky cloud of a head. Rye bread and peppery malt aroma. Pretty one dimensional in the taste. Sweet bready malt. Some spiced flavours as well. Kinda seems like a take on De Konink? About as expected. Finishes off dry and bready pepper. mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jun 14, 2006 12 oz bottle. Cloudy brown with a rocky head. Aroma is strangely big alcohol and caramel. Taste is mild hopped with a peppery spiciness. Texture is good as is the mouthfeel but the flavor is a bit metalic or tinny. Not worth the effort to drink. Tmoney99 (4778), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
