May 25, 2005 Poured wonderful clear reddish-gold with really big snow-white head that faded fairly quick but left exceptional lacing. Aromas were bread, malt, straw, and herbs. Taste was moderately sweet but well balanced with a malty fulness and a truck lad of bitter herbal hops. No fruitiness here, this ale is all grain and hops. Mouthfeel is just right. An excellent ale. A bit filling for a session beer, nonetheless it definitely a must-try.

May 23, 2005 The beer emerges from the 500ml brown bottle a bemused rusty orange color with a mount Everest sized frothy light tan head and a bazillion tons of sediment, well maybe only the size of K-2 and just a ton or two of goodies floating in suspension, with the left over lace a thick blanket to cover the glass. Nose has an unmistakable woody aroma, fresh malts, a bit soapy, fresh and clean, the start is nicely malted and lightly sweet with a light to medium feel at the top. Finish is pesky in its acidity, the hops ever so spicy and pleasant, very dry and long lasting aftertaste, what better treat after a long day of drudgery and the ride home in this 106-degree heat amongst some of the worst drivers on God’s green earth.

May 18, 2005 Golden color with a large frothy head. Hoppy aroma. You can taste the hops but they aren’t overpowering. Smooth finish.

May 17, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, clear amber-colour with a thick creamy head. Gets hazier when you approach the bottom from the sediment. And gets pure mudwater if you pour the last finger. Slightly nutty with a dry hoppiness. A nice bitter. 150305

May 17, 2005 Sweet, fruity aroma with some hops. Lots of malt in the flavor with medium hops bitterness. Well rounded without any edges.

Apr 27, 2005 Well first of all, this is a very attractive beer. A cloudy light brown color with a very thick off-white head. The thing is there is little yeasties floating around in it. I’m not offended by this but it’s not very attractive. Hops in the aroma but nothing too noticeable. Flavor is hoppy and lightly fruity. Too much fizz in the mouthfeel. But really, this is a good beer and if I ever found it on cask I’d be overjoyed.

Jan 24, 2005 50 cl bottle; Hazy red/brown with excellent head, that lasts until the last sip. However a lot of small bits of stuff floating around keeps this beer from getting a ’5’ for its looks. Aroma is very discrete with some acidious notes. Flavor is very yeasty and a bit metallic - it seems to be overconditioned or stored under the wrong conditions. However if you look for it there is a hint of strawberry below ..... i would love to taste this on cask.
