| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2006 Growler. Very small filmy white head, the body is murky grapefruit colored, with a soft, juicy appearance. Moderately tart, turning to more of a juicy citrus sour grapefruit nose. Semi-rough palate. Juice like flavor, with some cream, which makes it not pulpy or prickly, but milky smooth and silky. Soapy coriander and anise flavors, powdery even. A strange beer, but it tasted quite good.

Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is hazy medium yellow, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with a strong note of lemon zest.
Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Ok, if rather one-dimensional. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 11, 2006 Pleasing hazy, yellow peachy color. Very sweet up front with a complementary bitterness at the end. Distinctive orange note throughout, with a little clove in the nice aroma. A little thin--tough to say how different this was from the straight tap. Growler purchased last night, thanks to Walt, who supplied so many good beers today. 1FastSTi (2580), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 25, 2006 Pour is opaque golden orange with nice delicate bubbles racing to the top...smallish bright white head...smell is fairly intricate...first off a nice light yeasty aroma, then as it warms some sweet horseblanket notes...some pepper and bready notes along with some citrusy orange hints...mouthfeel is very light with faint carbonation toward the finish, but not a lot up front...nice sweet bready yeasty notes in the first part of the flavor...some nice straw and hints of sweet dough in the middle of the sip...pepper and dry yeasty flavors in the finish...the finish is the tiniest bit sticky...not cloying at all, just begs another sip to relieve the stickiness...if that makes sense...impressive brew.
