| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Bottle at nearbeer’s Spring Cleansin’. Pours orange with beige head. The aroma is tangerine, horse, ginger, a little bit of must, and wood. The flavor is wood and slight funk, some Asian spices, some woody notes, and exotic yeast. It has this iffy celery note that I get from a lot of Danish beers that turns me off a bit, but still it isn’t all that bad. nearbeer (1854), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma is funky, floral, herbal, with a mix of fruits. The flavor had a more malty presence than the nose would indicate. Moderately sweet, herbal, spicy, and more fruits. The alcohol appears as it warms. Dry finish; good, not great. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 25, 2009 I’ve had this beer twice, 4 months apart. It is still developing. The aroma is pure fresh flowers, stalks, and melon - brett intensity plus hopping. Unbelievable - top 25 smelling beer ever. Reminds of the tropical mango sweet freshness of Pizza Port’s Synergy. Finely conditioned, very airy and light initially. The body is nice - a little sticky as it warms. The flavor is strawlike, with some sweet malt bread and touch of tartness. Very good, I must get some to stash. Thanks for opening it upon my near insistence (!) JSturm. Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 25, 2009 Pours a fairly bright orange-amber colour with a loose head. The aroma has a herbal funk that recalls Orval and a saison. Dry, leafy herbaceousness wit a bit of caramel. The flavour veers away from that paradigm, however, towards a full, rich malty character. Caramel, earth and just a hint of brett influence this, with a shade of herbal hop. The dry finish shows a little bit of alcohol muscle.
