1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Mettalic bottle. Wow. Well, I give it a few points for trying. Really anise flavour in beer is not a good combo.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Gold in colour, with medium carbonation. Aromas of black licorice and allspice, with a bit of light malt in the background. More of the same in the mouth, but with a kind of a poorly made strong lager component (estery in a bad way). Heavy bodied as well, which seems quite out of place. This is not a good beer at all, but it’s more bizzare than disgusting.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle- Notes from 09/25/06- Bottle at Chaucer’s. It’s sparkling and gold with a 1/4 finger white ring. Weird spicy aroma. Like cirtus with weirdo malts and pepper. It does have a bit of anise-seed flavour, some lime skin, and some bittering hops. Pretty boozey, I’d say 10% as opposed to the 7.5. This beer is absolutely unecessary.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Deep gold; irregular just off-white head. Usually I smell this in a place where they manufacture hardboard, wallpaper or linoleum. Some child’s green sweets smell like this too. Those child’s sweets return in the taste - with an extra chemical edge. Slick, oily MF, medium bodied. This is beyond words.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
Very odd aroma. Olives, sassafrass, pungent meat. Chorizo sausage and morbiere cheese. Hops and no malts. Horrible. Beer is clear amber yellow, with no head to speak of. Medium-heavy watery body, with light to medium carbonation. Starts with slightly salty melon-liquer taste, medicinal. Finishes with melonball sweet/acidic notes, like muskmelon that's gone south. After is an odd metallic bitter. Horrible taste, not refreshing. Actually left a bad feeling in my stomach after drinking. Drain pour.
