Nov 1, 2004 A rich copper and full of spritziness. A medium foamy head that sits around for quite a while. A fresh, fruity and mouthwatering aroma that led to a first sip that was eagerly anticipated. Tasty, a bit thinner than I had hoped for but a tasty and smooth and fairly dry aftertaste.

Sep 9, 2004 Toasted nut aroma, light malty, fruity, caramel. Orange-amber clear with off-white lacing head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts with light malt and acidity, and some toasted bitterness. Hoppy profile, though a bit stale. Medium bitterness comes through in the finish. Bitter hoppy after with some nuttiness.

Aug 8, 2004 Pours a cloudy copper tone with a nice tight off white cap...fair effervescence in the glass....aromas of apples or pears with a musty yeast note. Starts tart and peppery then goes very slick with malt and tangy fruit pronouncments then the finish is long where the malts fade and a sour apple taste remains..slight warming...nice brew. Smooth and easy drinking... I like this better than the triple.

Apr 21, 2004 A clear Copper color with a large chunky tan head. Smells like a just opened can of tinned fruit that's been sitting in a warhouse for a few years, dust and all. A bit thin feeling but very easy to drink. A sour fruit taste with some yeast and a bit of white pepper. Slightly bitter follow. Not a "Speciale" beer but not a bad one either.

Feb 16, 2004 Bottle - Poured a red brown beer with a nice huge head with above standard retention. Carbonation is great with floral aroma. Medium body with sweet taste. A bit disappointed with that one, the spice mix is almost non-present and the body is too light with a bit of a watery aftertaste.
