Pours a rich butter caramel color with a small head. Smell is toasty, tart, almost nutty malt. Taste is nice and refreshing but with crisp, tart maltiness. Biscuity and bready and very nice and flavorful. Good body and solid carbonation. Easily my favorite of this style, and one I would enjoy trying again.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber with small white head. Aroma and flavor strongly of floral and citrus hops, also some spices and molasses. This reminded me of an american pale ale, actually. I thought the hops and malt flavors blended really well together. An excellent beer! DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Pours a nice medium gold with a tall foamy white head. Aroma is of honey and yeast with a few floral hops. Initial taste is a very smooth light honey and spicey, maybe peppery, flavor.The finish is reminiscent of a Belgian yeast mixed with some of those same floral hops. Overall it’s a very good and smooth beer. Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 26, 2009 A clear hazelnut color with a small beige head that becomes blotchy. Fruity and grainy aroma. Interesting flavors. Wood flavor, banana, medicinal, alcohol and a nice mix of hops (especially for the style). This is a sweet beer. A malty finish. This beer is all over the place which, to me, is always a fun drinking experience. Long lasting aftertaste is spicy hops.
