| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 10, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, bright brown body with a moderate, off-white head.
Smell: The unfortunate aroma is formed by an offensive mixture of berries, soured citrus fruits, and dirty metal.
Taste: Bland, plain-tasting malt flavor with a slight nuttiness to it. The small amount of hops present provide a bit of grassiness. Finishes sour and with the taste of stewed greens.
Mouthfeel: Lackluster medium-thin body, with moderate carbonation and an exceedingly watery palate.
Drinkability: Something to keep in mind: there are many far better winter beers. This one’s a total washout. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2007 thin and substantial. layered with a malt and semi hop flavor that joust a bit with the flavorings and work well in the mix. a bit busy but not confusing. refreshing and could be drank most anytime of year. licorice flavor just perceptable and is woven in by craft (or perhaps good fortune). just a nice tart and short finish that lingers more on the mind. looks good in the pinter glass. bravo! jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA
