Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Jun 29, 2005 Bottle: Aroma of fruit, caramel, yeast, alcohol, and cleaner aroma. Pours a hazy amber with some sediment. Big soapy white head with excellent retention. Lightly sour up front. Finish is really off. Chemically, cardboard, and alcohol. Something is off with this beer. Very disappointing. MiP (8793), Sřnderborg, Denmark May 31, 2005 Bottle. Slight clovy aroma. Dark golden colour, slightly cloudy. Small creamy head. Quite sweet flavour, dried fruit, apricot? Good body. Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 27, 2005 Updated: Jun 16, 2005(Bottle 75 cl) Orange golden, hazy ale with a thick creamy head. Incredible fruity aroma. Very, very aromatic but at the same time almost suffocatingly sweet. A beer that should definitely be enjoyed in small quantities. 140604 and 061297 Sahlholdt (276), Copenhagen, Denmark May 25, 2005 Amber with small golden head. Lots of sediment. The aroma has a lot of yeast and a hint of alcohol. Sweet spicy taste with a lot of yeast. Dry aftertaste with a small hint of a acicid flavor. cvillebeer (134), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA May 23, 2005 A slightly murky dark reddish amber with a vigorous head that subsides into a thin coating and fine lacing. The aroma is tart, fruity and subtly hoppy. The flavor is similar, with caramel, hops and surprisingly for a 9% beer is pleasingly dry. BierBauch (638), Cape Coral Waterfront Wonderland, Florida, USA May 22, 2005 750ml. Phenominal brew! Golden ambre color and surprisingly clear with large yeast floaties. Super thick rocky head that lasts forever. Big floral spicy Belgian aromas and a bit grassy. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Great Belgian flavors, yeast, hops, malt, peppery. Overall a world class brew! 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA May 19, 2005 Bottle: Dull golden, hazy, copious carbonation, rocky white head, sticky lacing.   Spicy nose, yeasty, slightly earthy/musty with a hint of plastic intertube.   Soft peppery flavor, bready, but also a medicinal plastic sorta twang.   Great body, full, with a fairly thick mouthfeel.   Slightly spritzy on the finish, lingering breadiness, but it doesn’t shake that odd smell/taste.   Actually, it comes across as stale intertube air!   Good thing it isn’t much stronger or else this brew would be ruined.
FrkAabenhuus (147), Copenhagen, Denmark May 8, 2005 Pours hazy orange, with a great white head. Very yeasty nose with notes of fruit and coriander. A flavor of caramel, roasted malt, fruit, yeast and spices. Some sourness in the aftertaste.
