| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 20, 2007 Bottle. Pours an extremely cloudy light copper with an enormous, frothy white head. I mean, this is in a wide-mouth chalice and the head just expands and develops landscape. The aroma is fruity, spiced, and very complex. It has a distinct tartness, with hints of cloves, apricot, lemon, and just a slightly sour funk. The flavor is pretty well done. It’s not as sweet or dessert like as I was expecting. There are plenty of tart and bittersweet notes throughout. Cloves, banana, oranges, lemon zest, sour dough. . . the flavor profile is very expansive. This finishes on a floral, vegetal, spicy note with just minimal doughy sweetness. Pretty good stuff, very elaborate and wild. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 15, 2007 First off this is about a 10 year old, 750ml bottle courtesy boboski. So, I will re-rate this when I have another fresh one. Ill make it a 2 for 1 rating. The old one first. It pours a fizzy golden amber with a medium light tan head. Pretty heavy alcohol and orange in the scent. The taste is more mellow than the smell. Light sweet orange, sweet malts, and other citrus. Definitely can taste the age in this one as its lost a little of its bite. Still very nice. Carbonation has held on well. Stay tuned for part 2. entropy1049 (40), Oxford, Iowa, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 12, 2007 Pours foggy gold-orange with a gi-normous off-white head...ridiculous carbonation; I can hear it percolating. Spilled a little on the rub and my daughters mini-dog is rolling in it like it’s vintage cat-poo...con brio...I do not know if this is a good sign or not...Aroma of spice, citrus (oranges) and hops. Surprisingly sweet with a persistant carmel note and actually really smooth...didn’t expect that...a bit of pepper, and more citrus...this is the Briggs-Rauscher of beer: carmel-citrus-spice-carmel-citrus-spice...Super nice brew! redlight (1457), Winter Park, Florida, USA

Pours golden blonde with a huge white head, as the bubles keep rising. Rich flavor, some citrus, starfruit, sweet sugar, a hint of grapes, and a little dry. There’s some spicey flavor in there i can’t place. Very complex flavor but entirely refreshing! dirkules (613), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 10, 2007 murky dark yellow pour with a head that’s alive. It doesn’t stop growing! Smells of apples and peppers with a carbonated mouthfeel akin to the Unibroue family of drinks. Caramels close down the mouth sensations. The alcohol is extremely well buried and doesn’t distract at all from the great character of this beer. This is probably one of my all time favorites. I need to acquire more!
