3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 fraternie (777) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - DEC 6, 2003
Coppery, amber body. Malty, spicy aroma. Caramel, cinnamon, ginger and honey notes make up the malt. Fairly thin bodied, lightly hopped. Spicy but thin finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 jbak (110) - Torrington, Connecticut, USA - DEC 5, 2003
Pours a nice amber somewhat cloudy hue, with a small white head with almost no lacing. It has a sweet aroma with a touch of ginger. Nice medium body with a definite adjunct type flavor, not awful though. Carbonation is quite light. The aftertaste is it's strongest point, nice malty finish that makes you want/need another taste. Another unique beer from DFH, though I didn't expect anything less at this point.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 jayme9874 (756) - Hamburg, New York, USA - DEC 2, 2003
Clear light amber/copper, no head, mild carbonation. Subtle nose of ginger, belgium yeast, floral notes and candied sugar. Medium bodied, bit creamy, complex flavors of ginger, sweet pale malt, cooked sugar (candyish), rice is evident, herbal notes with a smidge of belgium yeast and alcohol. Pretty good, could be a little smoother but a tasty brew regardless.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 frylock (1127) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - DEC 1, 2003
Deep caramel color with a small head. Aroma is mainly ginger. Sweet and malty with ginger flavors coming through strongly, slight bitterness balancing it out. An unusual brew (even by dfh standards) but not bad at all.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 beerslayer (753) - New Jersey, USA - NOV 27, 2003
This is a good spice/herb brew. Drinkablebut some what light. Malty, ginger, and earthy flavors. Finishes smooth and clean.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 egajdzis (4896) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 16, 2003
UPDATED: NOV 1, 2006 Poured an amber gold color with no head, although it did leave some lacing. Aroma of malty and top quality corn and rice. This tasted similar to a wheat beer, also including some sweet (I guess from the brown sugar) malt and yeast, and finishing slightly bitter. A rather plain although refreshing brew from DFH, but very interesting considering there is an ingredient from each continent.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 obxdude10 (1883) - Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 9, 2003
Another fantastic brew from DFH, hazy golden color with huge off-white bubbly head, frity aromas, big malt profile, hints of fruits in the flavors as well, slight malt aftertaste
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 ToadMan (558) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - NOV 8, 2003
On tap at the Moan and Dove DFH festival. I had this after trying the World Wide and the IPA's so maybe my rating is a little skewed. This seemed weak and unflavorful. Slighly creamy, lightly malty, mildly vanilla. They should have saved the money on the ice from antartica and made it more flavorfull.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 DrGonzo (625) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - NOV 8, 2003
On tap at the Moan and Dove. Surprisingly light hazy yellow color. Interesting beer. Reminded me of ricola cough drops overall. Has a sweet grainy and corn taste, but not in that bad adjunct cheap beer way. Interesting, quite drinkable, and comparable to nothing else.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 omnivore (270) - San Francisco, California, USA - AUG 9, 2003
Boston Beer Summit 2003: Hoppy and sweet aroma. Murky dark yellow color. Layered flavor with overtones of hops, malt, ginger and spices. Pretty damn cool.
