May 19, 2007 Delicious honey aroma. Weak pour with no head and golden color. Complex flavor of roasted honey and strawberry, but not much hops. I probably overated the flavor, but it really tasted quiet nice. Yeast finish. Very good brew.

Oct 1, 2006 Golden color,small white head again with nothing left behind.The aroma was malty a little grainy and a slight hint of caramel and lemon grass in the back ground.Between this and the last two from this country i’d have to say this is th best one of the trifecta,not saying it’s outstanding or anything,just better.Light malty taste in the beginning that quickly changes to a caramel lemony taste and finishes up with a light grainy taste and a bit of alcohol togo along with a faint appearance of hops.Over all it’s pretty smooth compared to the others and the alcohol manages to stay somewhat in check as well,making only brief appearances.Not bad but it could use some improvement.

Jul 27, 2006 16.9 oz bottle.
Pours a rich clear gold, 1/4 inch ivory head. Some fine lacing. Surprisingly rich malt aromas with light hops.
Rich caramel malt. Some faint noble hops. Hints of alcohol. Sweetish. Faint metallic aftertaste. This almost reminds me of a pale bock. It’s not quite there but it’s similiar. Mouth is sticky. This is better than expected, not bad at all.

Feb 10, 2006 500 ml bottle from Royal Liquors on State Street, Rockford IL (Dec 2005). Served a bit above cellar temperature, from a 12 oz Michelob glass. Big foamy quick-dying head atop an extremely bubbly, clear golden body....fairly clean, sweet, corn-and-hay aroma, not unpleasant though rather flat....body is very sweet, doughy, bit syrupy in the texture though it does dry out a bit at the end and a hazy, undefined mineralic-herbal bitterness sets in just at the finish. I find this fairly drinkable, actually, probably the 2nd best of the 4 I’ve had from this brewer the last couple of nights. Alcohol is only lightly present at first, and the thickness is muted...but don’t let it get too warm.
