| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 3, 2009 Bottled. Aroma is hoppy, fruity and winey. Hazy, amber-brown coloured beer with a lasting head. The taste is bitter, has maltiness in it, piney hops and is a bit winey/sherry like. Bit fruity. Medium-full bodied. Nice mouthfeel/palate. Good beer, but perhaps some aging will do the beer good. bierkoning (6071), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Murky brown color. Vinous aroma with raspberry and strawberry. Alcoholic, oaky flavor with hints of sherry. Loads of oily, earthy hops. Abrupt transition between the fruity and vinous aroma and the harsh oily and earthy hopflavor. Will this marriage improve with cellaring? Time will tell... Jerre (1755), Waregem, Belgium

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 20, 2009 Bottle at avlinne and the struise farm Iv got another two bottles at home, which urban said to sit on for 6 months till they sort themselves out. Alround rating: Very dry bittering hop, decent alcohol peppery kick, some caramel malts. Its perhaps a bit too dry and bitter at the moment for me. Its not really got a beery character that i can fit it into a style. Its fairly unique. harrisoni (6828), Ashford, Kent, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 19, 2009 Bottle at Alvinne pre Zythos event 09. Am I the only one who got a big waft on diacetyl on the aroma on this beer? Carlo and Urbain say that we should give it 6 months in the bottle and the diacetyl will be re-absorbed, so I will re-rate this in the autumn when my bottles should be ready. Good hops on the finish though, really piney hops on finish but at the moment far too buttery for someone as sensitive to diacetyl as myself. MiP (9096), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Weak teaish and grassy aroma. Cloudy dark amber colour. Very small creamy tan head. The flavour is quite hoppy, grassy, even getting a bit sour. The hoppiness gets a bit much. Good caramelly finish.
