Dec 18, 2005 RLB YEHA 05. Pours flat with a slight haze- copper body. Strong sweet malt in the aroma - almost cloying with some DMS. Slightly sour in the flavor with more sweet malt upfront. Finish is a bit harsh and the flat body is a turnoff.

Dec 13, 2005 12.10.05 750ml bottle at NJ/PA YEHA-05. I was excited to try this stuff. An ugly, clouded topaz sits still below a minimal film of white. Aroma smacks of melting rubberbands, crayons, butterscotch, and alcohol, with hints of grassiness. This raised an eyebrow, for sure. Slick and oily palate transfers scalding alcoholic heat all across the palate, transferring a punnishing blow of more rubber and some canola oil. My thought after trying this one was that these guys need to put the kibash on the annual release...then I tried the ’05.

Dec 13, 2005 Updated: Dec 14, 2005NJ, Pocono, Philly YEHa!’05. Copper body with minimal carbonation and a small head. Open malty nose and flavor with some sweet butterscotch, lots of alcohol, and spicy, woody hops. Palate is on the flat side. Too sweet, alcoholic, and flaccid to truly enjoy.

Dec 12, 2005 (750ml bottle) Virtually non-existent off-white head atop a cloudy amber body. Aroma is sweet, caramel, wood, candied orange, plum, butter. Taste is sweet, caramel, raisin/plum, molasses, some butter. Some alcohol burn in the finish. Uncarbonated, full body. This comes out more as a barleywine than a lager of any variety -- it takes a few sips to acclimate to the sweetness and alcohol, but once this is done, the beer becomes fairly enjoyable. Still could stand to have some carbonation.

Dec 12, 2005 Bottle at Ricklikebeer’s YEHA ’05. Hazy amber color with virtually no head. Buttery, malty, caramel aroma with some alcohol present. The alcohol came on strong in the flavor, which wasn’t a good thing. Sweet caramel malt and toffee round out the flavor.

Dec 11, 2005 Poured an amber color with off white bubbles, no lacing present. Aroma of alcohol, bread, wood, and caramel malt. Taste of caramel malt, strong alcohol, faint citrus, and some nuttiness as well.
