2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAY 30, 2010 Bottle. It pours a hazy, orange-golden to brown body under an off-white head. The aroma is ultra-sweetish with a good dash of anise and even more orange. Orange-driven flavor too, with anise and lots of sugary sweetness. Thinnish impression on the palate, even though it’s not thin-bodied. Too much orange in this one, but will rerate a bottle later on. Maybe, hopefully, it has mellowed a bit. It would be too late for those having bought it for the Christmas of 2008 though. Rating: 4-4-5-3-10-2.6. 081130
Bottle. It’s an almost clear, amber beer topped by a small off-white head. Artificial oranges and a good dash of anise in the aroma. The flavor is sweet, with spices and artificial orange. Medium body. Spiced, bitter finish with orange. A decent beer, nothing more. And the cellaring hasn’t helped much either. 091223
