Pours a light pale amber with a thick, foamy white head. Slowly dissolves and the lacing is nice. Aroma of sweet apples, honey, some citrus and flowery hops. Taste is sweet, candy sugar, some allspice, and caramel. The palate is smooth and a sweet/bitter aftertaste. Well done Schell. drpimento (865), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 15, 2007 Pours a clear deep amber, topped by a good inch of creamy sudsy foam. Minimal head retention and lacing. Mild sweet fruity malt in the aroma.
I like the flavor of the beer - light caramel malt, a little candied fruit, then a bit drier in the finish. Ample hops are noticeable, a little bit citrusy, however the beer remains on the sweet side. Hop bitterness and a trace of alcohol come through in the aftertaste.
Medium body, moderate carbonation (I think a lot disapates with the pour). Tasty, clean, and drinkable.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 7, 2007 Schells.... Not bad--blond, as they say, and obvious sweetness in the nose and upfront. Hints of floral in the nose, but mostly alcohol, more light caramel in the taste, with light citrus, grapes, and a hint of mint. My bottle didn’t seem but the slightest metallic, which was good considering that I bought this out of season. It holds up rather well actually. Tingly, light carbonation with an adequately sticky body.
