2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, 5.7% at KØ07. The aroma is spicy, reminding me of ginger, but I guess it is the manuka. Hazy copper colour. The flavour is much like the aroma, with a slightly sweet finish. Thin mouthfeel.

2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled. Very spicey aroma, not fresh spices but more like overcooked soupe. Amber color, beige head, fair lace. Perfume, spice, light malty, thinnish. Spices are unbalanced, too overwhelming and just don’t go with beer too well.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 15, 2007 A hazy orange sunset fills the glass, under a huge billowing cream colored cloud, that quickly dissolves to a more modest head. Big herbacious aroma, blasting your nose in waves of fresh cut flowers, peach, sage, and lemon peel. The Herbs eventually blow away and leave your nostrils feeling refreshed with lemon, ginger, and light tropical fruits. So light on malt aroma that you forget this is a beer, and your mind is off travelling the ocean with Captain Cook himself. Once it passes your lips you are brought back to reality while you puzzle through the flavors running rampant around your tongue. Orange blossom water, rose water, lemon, ginger, and peach all coming and going at the same time, finishing off with tea... and possibly slight hop flavor? Quite refreshing and light, but not so light that it seems weak. Captain Cooker probably won’t become part of my "usual suspects" but it is indeed an interesting beer. I am sure we will cross paths again somewhere in this big sea of beer.
