3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
633ml bottle pours a hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger off-white head that settles to some thin spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is fruity with citrus and mild caramel and floral and herbal notes. Taste is citrusy hop bitterness balanced nicely with a fruity and caramel malt sweetness with some spice possibly ginger. Medium bodied with some nice carbonation leaving a pleasing sensation on the palate. A nicely done fruit beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home, which I assume must have come from BrewDog Aberdeen. It pours golden orange/yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is sweet fruit - apple, white grape, yuzu?, sweet orange, honey and spice. The taste is pine, resin, light fruit - apple, yuzu, citrus pith, straw and spice, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty good stuff all round.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From bottle. Pours golden with white head. STRANGE! Herbal aroma, sausages! Tastes of basil, massive basil flavor, some thyme, bit lemon. Initial bitterness, followed by balanced citrus and herb taste. Too weird!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by Butters at Butters Slutfest 2.0, Richmond, VA, 4.23.11. Pours clear but with chunky particles. Medium sized fizzy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Fruity aroma with notes of citrus and scuppernong, an herbal note reminiscent of sage and a slightly burnt note. Medium bodied. Nice beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22/07/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (bottle). Degustazione al Baird Beer Festival. Ambrata, abbastanza limpida, lieve schiuma biancastra morbida, poco persistente. Al naso spicca l’aroma di Yuzu, frutto simile al pompelmo, che dona note amare e intensamente agrumate. In bocca è amara, simile a una IPA (anche se più leggera per gradazione alcolica). Lo Yuzu le dona un sapore assolutamente particolare e originale, molto più morbido del luppolo. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Birra elegante, seducente, ben bilanciata. Da provare.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Orange caramel, hazy, moderate sudsy white head, spotty lacing. Fruity noise, tropical and citrusy. Also seems to have a caramel like flair. This reminds me of a very old Barley Wine. Weird, somewhat like 01 Old Horizontal in its sweetness. Dry fruitiness on the tongue, a little powdery. Tastes like star fruit a bit. A little bit of wheatiness. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Tropical fruit like finish, a little dry and powdery. Different.
3.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Butters’ Slutfest: Orange, pineapple, kiwi fruit, and marijuana aroma. Cloudy amber, sediment. Orange and lemon flavor, less dank than the aroma. Finishes herbal with thyme and sage. I think there’s weed in this one, which may explain the "nirvana-like joy" described on the label. :-) Dank, fruity, and herbal in a pleasant way.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at Slutfest 2.0. Again with the weird sage quality. Is this sorachi? white pepper, sweet fruit. herbal bittersweet finish. Dry finish. Again, another unique beer. And a great label.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
24th January 2009
Cloudy amber beer. Frothy tan head that dies away quickly. The head has a nice sherbet zing. The beer is full of flavour. Citrus and gingery spice. I guess this must be the Yuzu fruit! Refreshing and light. The finish is crisp and has a nutty flavour. An unusual tasting beer. Striking and immensely drinkable.
