Iwasn’t expecting anything from this beer but what a lovely treat. Completely different to all the previous beers sampled today. Aroma of apples. grapes, summer fruits. Rich summer feel. Slighlty cloudy ale with a thin head. Rich in flavour, getting the grapes and spices coming through. Tangy spicy finish, ginger perhaps. Very nice beer and refreshing in the sun. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours copper with a small tight off-white head. Aroma of Caramel, spices, and grain. The flavor is sweet, spices, caramel, fruit, and finishes bitter. KAggie97 (2452), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 4, 2007 Updated: Jul 10, 2007Bottle. Pours a ho-hum amber with a thin body and little lacing. Very dull and lethargic body. Aromas of spice-- ginger, clove, and nutmeg-- are complemented by a heavy dose of Sangria wine. Tinge of peach seems to be poking through as well. Flavor is flat spice with a mediciny aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel that leaves a bitter, medicine-like film on the tongue. Too flat for a second try. If this beer had more body and more oomph, it could be spectacular. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 19, 2007 (Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fruity aroma with a hint of ginger. Fairly full-bodied with lightly sweet malt notes and then a solid dose of ginger. The finish is somewhat astringent. 120507 Ibrew2or3 (2761), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2007 0.5L bottle purchased from Beverage Castle in Tampa that poured out clear copper with nice lasting off white head. In the aroma I get dark fruit like plums and dates in a cinnamon covered pie. It has a very interesting flavor with cinnamon coated plums and dates then a slice of apple and sweet grape juice. I also get other spices like bits of coriander and maybe cloves. There is an un-mistakable level of tobacco smokiness that seems to ride along as an undercurrent just beneath the other flavors.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Bottle at the MicroBar in Clapham, a thick hazy brown with a foamy off-white head. Strong alcohol aroma with cloves and ginger, and some cherry notes for me. A strong ginger flavour in a thin mouthfeel - more hoppy and bitter in the finish.
