| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 1, 2007 Hazy orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of lots of fruit and spice with some brown sugar. Sweet fruity flavor with some brown suar and spice. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2007 RBSG 2007: From the monster bottle at the front of the room that sounded like a gunshot went off when opened. Poured a hazy gold with a white head, bit of a gusher. Aroma, funky, lemon, some bready notes, spices, smelled old. Flavor, pale malts, lemon, yeast, not bad. Kinz (2201), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jun 29, 2007 Sample thanks to Maniac. Hazy apple juice, slight carbonation remaining. Lots of honey on the aroma, some apple juice, faint spice, including cloves and ginger. Flavor has honey sweetness with a good bit of spice reminiscent of potpourri. Not my thing. At all. Tastes like licking Christmas. Gave me the same shiver as a shot of cheap tequila. BDR (2154), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Pours a hazy orange amber with a small white head. Really hopy, grassy smell. A little fire smoke too, really unique aroma. The taste is a little more malty, but there is definitely a profound hop presence. Nice and smooth, but has a little bit of heat on the end too which caught me off guard. Nice unique spicy taste, I was very intrigued. The hops were very grassy and really worked with this beer. marcus (1853), Sacramento, California, USA
