2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
poured with no head from a growler. kinda flat. I bet if there was some carbonation, this would be a really good beer, because the maltiness is nice, and the hops present but not overpowering. it just looks so much like apple cider.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Since I have been unlucky enough to find this on tap...or is that lucky enough to enjoy some other fine brews at this beer’s expense? Well, this is Climax ESB’s turn. I finally had the cojones to buy a growler, even if it was split in cost with someone else. Smelled good, looked good, although it had an almost anti-head, which I don’t mind since it came from a growler. Props for "keeping it real" and only going for kegs and growlers. I <3 Climax for that. The malt in this was abundant but not overpowering. Hops hung out like check this bitter, yo; without getting all in your face. Nice ESB

Tap at Andy’s. Poured light orange, clear with a white head. Had a carmel almost nutty aroma, with a touch of hops. Flavor had a big nutty malty component with some hop bitterness. Malty finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a dark copper color with a small, creamy, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Buttery, sweet caramel, citrus, and light nut aroma. Light citrus hoppiness, more nuts and sweet caramel in the taste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. Poured a medium orange color with a small head. Subtle aromas and tastes of oranges and apples. Very lightly bitter.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Fruity orange/apple aroma. Pale orange-gold with white fully diminishing head. Sweet malt broth with rather thin body. Growler at Mondial 2004.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle) Mondial de la Bière 2004. Thin almond head with a cloudy orange body. Nose of apples, orange juice concentrate and a light fizziness up the nostrils. Apple juice flavour and fruitiness combines with a mellow sweet malt.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
(From growler) : Undercarbonated, orange-apple juice with shy resinous bitterness...Watery peaches exemplify the bland fruitiness and the lack of malt and hops is soon felt...Not worthy of a pint...
