beerguy101 (3468), Newark, California, USA Aug 1, 2003 Medium gold color. Large head. Aroma is touches of barnyard, leather and must. A medium bodied biere de garde. Malts are nutty and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. A mild nutty, musty flavor predominates. Nice. Very drinkable, especially on a hot summer day. Well balanced. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Aug 1, 2003 Fruity/floral aroma. Dark yellow color. Esters all over the palate. Very sweet. Ends with earthy bitterness. legion242 (1516), Richardson, Texas, USA Jul 29, 2003 Decent. Again too sweet. Becomes cloying. Milder then many of the others. Tasted at the Oregon Brewer's Festival.
