| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 27, 2005 Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Pours a beautiful honey gold with a lasting, slightly frothy white head. Flavor is fantastic! Blast of honey immediately, followed by clean, crisp notes of citrus/orange, coriander, and spices. Palate is wonderfully complex - unfolding into a bouquet of orange and sweet spicy fruit. Finishes fizzy with an oily feeling around the mouth. kkearn (1013), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Draft, at Nodding Head. My fiance is always excited to see this on the draft list at Nodding Head. Pours orange amber, capped with an average-sized white head. Aroma of orange zest, honey, coriander and wheat. Flavor is somewhat sweat, with honey, apricot, citrus, wheat, and spice. Medium bodied, with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. A nice sipper. BuckNaked (1209), Tempe, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2006 On draught at Nodding Head in Philly 2/3/2006: Beautiful pale golden colored body, mostly clear, with a medium, lasting, rocky white head. The aroma is sweet malt, orange rind, light citrus, spices, and yeast. Upon tasting, I think how well this one hides the alcohol. There’s notes of coriander, orange rind, mild yeast, crisp sweet malts, and a bit of honey. The spices taste artificial to me, almost as if just a bit too much was added. Light-medium bodied, very crisp and clean in the mouth, medium carbonation (I wouldn’t mind it more lively but to be fair this is on tap and I’m compairing it to bottle-conditioned beers). Well worth a try. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 20/20 | Feb 1, 2006 Complex and defies characterization. At $3/taster, it had better be good, and this was (mostly). Very sweet with lots of honey, this brew has honey added, which is noticeable. Very unusual. Tastes more like 6% abv instead of 9%.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 25, 2007 Draught from wine glass. This one is pretty interesting - light golden color with medium head. Very sweet orange-honey aroma. Taste is overwhelmingly sweet with lots of citrys and some honey, plus a rather nice flowery taste. Not typical by any means - nice change of pace. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Tap @ the pub. Poured a hazy gold color with a thin off-white head. The aroma had some citrus notes mixed into a sweet bready malt. Mild spice and some orange skin. The flavor was fairly estery with some spices that included white pepper. Good warmth on the finish. Medium bodied. PhillyHomeBrew (176), Forest Hills, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2008 pale yellowish-brown body with small white head. Honey and bubblegum scent. Has flavors of bubblegum and a bit of lemon. biggcb (464), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Sample @ UPenn tutored Tasting ’07. Poured a nice pale golden color. Aroma was a bit unusual - Citrus, honey, slight malt - none being very prominent. Flavor was much the same, with some spices (coriander?) coming through. A touch on the sweet side. A little on the dry side, somewhat thin mouthfeel. Alcohol is completely hidden.
