| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2006 Pours a tanslucent honey color with a frothy white head. There’s an aroma of pear, apricot, honey,hops...white bread? The flavor is sweet and rich, again, pears, honey, a touch of hops, and caramel malt. Malty on the tounge with a crisp, light, bitter finnish...honey is in the aftertaste as well. Nice beer, neat bottle. jimhilt (1687), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 18, 2006 Pours a three-fingered white head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Cloudy pale amber color. Hoppy/floral nose. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Starts sweet but hops take over in finish. Label description is actually close: "intense hop bitterness supported by a big malty backbone." Slight bitter aftertaste. Better than Sam Adams imperial pilsner. $13.99 for a 26oz (or 750ml??) bottle from Capital Convenience Concord, NH. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2006 Poured a golden color with rich frothy white head. Some lacing. Light smells of hops. Good bitterness and full flavor. Tastes quite hoppy, like a very light IPA at times. Good clean mouthfeel. If I have to drink a lager, make it this one please. thebirdshow (27), Burlington, North Carolina, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 30, 2006 This beer poured a white head.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 8, 2006 Had this at a tasting. 2 oz. sample from a snifter. Beer poured a hazy light yellow without any head. The aroma was delicate and full of light and pretty fruit esters like white grape, green apple, pear and ginger and light hoppy notes of grapefruit and pine. The flavor began lightly sweet and lightly bitter with a long, moderately bitter finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was soft. hopnpop (68), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 8, 2006 Poured a hazy, light gold color with a rich creamy head. Floral, grassy nose. Initial taste reveals rich malts, followed by coffee, ending with a warming alcohol, hoppy tang. NachlamSie (1644), Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2006 bottle. Pours a weird, cloudy bright orange with not much of a head. The aroma is spicy with ample citrus, like grapefruit. The body is also full of citrus and a good level of sparkling hops. There’s a bit more bitter acidity in the mix. This is quite beefy for a pilsner.
