| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Gemytlig öl som skänker utrymme för njutning. Inga större åthävor, ganska lagom i all sin sobra enkelhet. Hade gärna fått göra större cirklar, varit mer generös med infall. madmitch76 (645), , Essex, England
