| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 6, 2005 This is a tasty bitter. Golden and hazy with lots of yeasty residue and a slender white head, this has a splendid flowery and orange aroma coupled with that of pears and apples. It’s got a light, sweet malt taste with a hop bitterness that slowly rises to prominence in the mouth. Quite a dry, mildly bitter finish. A great candidate for a session ale. rauchbier (3003), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England

Hazy amber gold, thin white head and low condition. Sweet malt, pleasantly flowery hop and traces of pine resin aromas, quite sweet in the mouth with gentle bitter hops becoming dominant with time. Lingering yeasty dry bitterness in the finish with traces of chalkiness.

A cracking wheaty aftertaste to this one. Quite bready & bitter smoosh (523), New Albany, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 8, 2005 Cask - malt and some floural hop in the nose. Beautiful golden color with a white, white head. The flavor is amazing for such a small beer! Started malty. As I proceeded down the glass and it warmed the hops came charging to the front, hitting me at both sides of the tongue. Palate was very smooth and soft. This is a beautiful - and underrated - beer! ante (2965), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2004 (Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark golden. Vague grassy hoppy aroma. Grasswy hops in flavour, hints of orange-peels and yeast. Long grassy bitter finish. Quite thin body. Syd (903), Waconia, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 12, 2004 Bottle pours a rather pale color with a monster head that rises out of the glass and stands proud and laces like a Belgian. The aroma is floral and understated. The flavor is slightly sweet, with a long lingering bitterness. The palate is a bit over carbonated and somewhat off. Overall, I’m not very impressed.
