| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 10, 2006 Little hops but they oddly claim opposite on label. Watery roasted malt and faint mineral taste. waolsen (1223), Littleton, Colorado, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Bottle... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Hazy orange ale with a small, frothy, white head. The aroma is a swirl of honey, toffee, fruity esters, leather and earthy hops. Flavor is caramel and toffee followed by herbal bitterness. Medium-bodied and fizzy. Crisp finish.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 2, 2006 A very weak entry in the style...way too caramely sweet, almost sticky. And yet virtually no hop bitterness. The palate is extremely thin and watery. I would not repeat this one. rauchbier (3002), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 22, 2006 Bottled. Amber bronze, good lasting white head and fine condition. Pleasantly resinous hop flowers in the nose, some caramel notes in the mouth but dominated by raw peppery hops that linger into the finish to be briefly tempered by a slight maltiness.

Stark, almost vinegary nose, sweet and perfumey. The body is awfully light and the flavor is musty and sugary. Didn’t dig it. madsberg (5045), Søborg, Denmark
