| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 4, 2005 Opaque golden - it has that nectar look to it. Say what you want about Vinnie’s beers - they are beautiful to look at. The aroma is bretty, corky, and highly vinous - the most directly winey nose since Stille Nacht Reserva. The flavour is slightly toasty, highly vinous with a puckeringly tart finish. There is a bit of astringency at the back. Leathery, fairly tart finish. Firm pale malts and alcohol support the effort throughout. Kick ass. fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy

Aroma is medium sweet, bret, oak, white wine, some sourness. Taste is medium sweet, white wine, oak, some apple, sour, light lemon. Watery light-medium body, some acidity, pretty drinkable. No sledgehammer in this one, subtleness is the key. Quite enjoyable. DJMonarch (6878), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Not sure if this was from Reakt or Phil l, but thanks. Cloudy pale gold, thin beige head. Bretty yeasty sour aroma. Taht’s a pretty good beer. It’s slightly more characterful than some beers I’ve had tonight. Bit empty in the mouth though which was disappointing. But I did like the character. bierkoning (6084), La Tropica, Netherlands
