| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 26, 2009 This bottled brew from a rating party poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized light tan colored bubbles that were and left behind a very hazy brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was hoppy floral malty and yeasty. The mouth feel was very tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice flavor contained notes of hops and brown malt. Delicious and one I would certainly like to have again.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Bottle shared by kmweaver 6/28/08: Pours a transparent copper orange with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty malts, orange citrus and peppery spice notes. Body starts lightly sweet and well-spiced with some earthy black pepper and clove notes before a bready toasty finish. A pretty interesting and well-balanced brew. Kinz (2205), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Medium coppery amber, initial chill haze, then clears. Pillowy white head is constant, small, and attractive. Aroma is gentle candy sugars and musty pine hops. Would have thought they were American almost. Flavor is caramel accented malts and bitter hop finish. The funk is very, very muted. Perhaps a young bottle? Enjoyable, but it didn’t summon Orval for me. Gr0ve (1394), Oslo, Norway
