| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2005 Bottled (BBE 2006)
Hazy orange color, huge brownish head - very Orval-like. Floating yeast particles. Fruity (mango, pine-apple) and hoppy nose mixed with lemon. Peppery, chewy malty, medium to full-bodied. Dry, woody aftertaste - suprisingly lacking potential kick of alcohol, just slightly bitter aftertaste. Very good but less complex than expected. ChristianSA (368), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2005 Bottle. Copper colored beer with huge, creamy head with excellent retention. Wonderful aroma of chewinggum and apples.Sweet, malty, light flavor with perfumy notes and complex, almost artificial flavor. It is heavily carbonated. An elegant and complex beer, that is almost too much goodness at once. haukur (682), Reykjavik, Iceland

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 19, 2005 This is a real gem. Full rich and heavy nose, beautiful head, lasting a while.
Lots of spices and somewhat fizzy, great brew. TheRimmer (483), Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 19, 2005 Soapy nose. almost like detergent or some cleaning fluid. Pours mildly cloudy, very fizzy with a thick head. Spices permeate every tastebud. peppery is the best adjective. Very bitter, some floral hops in there too. Commercial description is dead on. heemer77 (4303), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 23, 2005 A light cloudy amber color with lots of bubbles. A huge slightly off white head. The aroma is sharply sweet and spicy. Peaches, apples and nutmeg dominate. fascinating tangy aroma. The taste is ginger and apples. A nice bready backbone with some vanilla and caramel. A weak vinous hint. While this has these almost candy notes, it is only a little sweet. Similar to a golden delicious apple. ADR continues to impress me. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark

Some citrus, cloves and yeast as well. The flavor is very similar with lots of alcohol sourness.Tart and tangy palate with a fruity finish.
