| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 21, 2007 This was shared by Dorwart at Mullman’s tasting. Deep amber in color. Aroma was definitely way off- notes of stale oxidation, and possible a light infection. Taste wasn’t quite as bad, full bodied, with an odd off-character that I couldn’t put my finger on. I couldn’t bring myself to write detailed notes on this one. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA

Grapefruit and malt aroma. Ruby grapefruit flavor, bitter, cherry. Med body and fizzy. Delicous in a ruby-red like sense. drewbeerme (2306), Chicago, Illinois, USA
