| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2005 This bottle conditioned brew poured a medium sized head of frothy white colored fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind a hazy slightly carbonated body with fine yeast particle floaties. It had a mild malty floral aroma and a very good lacing. The mouth feel was initialy tingly and malty with a mellowing in its finish and a mild fruity aftertaste. The flavor was fruity in a flowery way with a solid malt base. Papsoe (14888), Frederiksberg, Denmark

Wasn’t expecting all that much from this brew but I was Really Impressed! Another beer sampled while Eric was in town.
Poured a muddled light orangeish-blond body with a thick cream colored head. Fine lacing hangs from start to finish. The aroma and flavor was astoundingly complex: almost farmyard like. Great suggestions of crusty biscuits, Golden Delicious apple, pear and slices of tangerine zest. Suggestions of leather horse saddle a lite funky mustiness… some buttered biscuits….
Evokes nostalgic images of ranch life: Eating lunch on a bale of hay as I sit beneath the shade of a grand oak… I enjoy this beautiful beer from a goblet and smile in content.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 15, 2005 Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. Yeasty aroma with lots of bread dough, Red Delicious apple and just a hint of banana. The flavor is lightly Flemish with sweet plum. Not overly spiced. Medium-bodied and very creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. Mid-length, rich, doughy finish. Fairly dry. Props to Matta for sharing his bottle. Great brew!
