3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 yngwie (9188) - Kristiansand, - AUG 20, 2011
Bottle. It pours a clear dark golden body and an off-white head of moderate size. Biscuity, toffee-ish aroma with some piney fruityness. Medium body, dry and pleasantly carbonated. Some bitterness in the flavor, bringing balance to the biscuity, malty lighlty caramel base. Bitter and fruity finish. A quite decent one, blending the malts and hops in a quite pleasant way, but it’s not a very exciting beer. 110820

K, reviewing this out of a glass bowl - pintbypint can back me on this via video RB chat. i can smell the cigs pint is sucking into him decaying lungs. lets hope that that is not the cause for a shitty review on my part. Bronze brew with a huge light tan head. Pint said : Nose has light hops and toasted malts and light caramel. I’ll agree with that mainly due to the fact that this bowl can’t retain aroma to save its life. K, lapping it up llike a cat has failed as I spilt it all over the table and my pants.... I’ve said that before.. doesn’t taste all that fantastic - certainly not worthy of this high end bowl. Mild hops and mild roast make way for a mild hop thing. The fruit comes in like cotton candy then changes instantly to nothing of importance. Short lived bitterness. A mild beer that I can say I won’t get again even though it was not a bad beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 reebtogi (2169) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 13, 2012
500ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a finger and a half of white head that leaves some thin lacing on the glass. Aroma is flowery with some caramel malt. Taste is moderately bitter hops which are very pleasant and nicely balanced with a malty sweetness. This is quite a nice ale with a light to medium body and adequate carbonation. Very well done.
