trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA May 15, 2006 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Not good. Pours clear amber with floaties and a quickly-dissipating head. Aroma of stale malt. The taste is acidic; some malt with yeast, but mixed together to form the dreaded sweaty gym sock. Avoid. Stew41 (1042), Caulfield, Australia May 14, 2006 Hard to believe I’m rating the same beer given the 61% percentile. Rocky head dies down very quickly. Darkish amber in colour, very clear. Nose is malt driven and fits the commercial descriptor well - a text book example perhaps. Palate is a let down, just a bland mixture of bubbles and faint malts. Hints of the Belgian Ale surface early but disappear quickly. Needs to delivery more obvious malt flavour. winegarner (220), san diego, California, USA May 12, 2006 Poured from a 33 cL bottle. Amber colored with a thin off-white head. Large amount of sediment present, definately not filtered. Aroma has a certain caramel and biscuit scent, also some light fruit, but not much. Flavor is a bready maltiness followed by a light sweet fruitiness and a nice hop kick. Palate is a little watery with an abrasive finish. badnewsbeers (1026), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA May 8, 2006 cloudy and murky dark amber body...major sediment present...aroma of major sugar, fruit, spice, and caramel...flavor is similar and is much too sweet...dry and somewhat bitter finish...average palate DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada May 7, 2006 Golden amber, aromas of bready sweetness, something faintly floral. Smooth malty palate, a little perfumy, a little bitter. Very drinkable. EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Apr 25, 2006 Tap in Amsterdam. Very good session beer, amber colored with little head. Some sweetness. A little simple, but easy to order in bunches. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 25, 2006 Updated: Apr 26, 2006Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper color with an off-white head, aroma of sweet malts, fruit, and some spices. I didn’t care for the flavor, yet i finished the bottle. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 23, 2006 Looks good but tastes weak. On tap at everybody’s pizza. Slightly sweet aroma. Bitter taste predominates. Very thin with a quick finish.
