2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 14/20 tbarnette (105) - Allen Park, Michigan, USA - SEP 1, 2005
Decent lager, very light, very sweet. I think sweet should be saved for soda pop, not lagers.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Styles (2014) - Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA - AUG 3, 2005
Tap: amber color with minimal head, fades to film. Aroma a little subdued, but flowery, musty and some faint fruit hop character. Initial flavor is all sweet malt, turns skunky/funky and finishes with some residuel sugar. Decent overall.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Rastacouere (5923) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 28, 2005
Fruity aromas (apricot, fig, tangerine, apples) are floral, leafy and herbal. Copper coloured, gentle, but diminishing white head. Rather juicy palate, carbonation is a bit low, light-medium bodied. Interesting flavor development, limited hops aromas presence, but fairly bitter. Highly fruity, mostly simple, but interesting.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 BBB63 (5039) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JUL 24, 2005
MiBG Gest 2005:
Pours a cloudy deep amber hue with a fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and herbal characteristics, orange peel, apricot, lemongrass, and a flowery vapor. The taste starts a bit fruity and quite flowery. Addtional notes of vanilla bean, earthy yeast, a white pepper. Some lingering bitterness. The feel is a bit underwhelming. Nice but not quite what I would want from a BdG. I like what I see so far from the brewery, I hope they continue to push the standard micro envelope.

Tap. Red-orange colored. Nice off-white head, no lacing. Aroma is fruity, a bit of vanilla. Nice hoppiness. Medium bodied, smooth. Flavor is nicely malted with flavors matching aroma. May not fit precisely in BdG but quite a nice beer nonetheless.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Pailhead (3449) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - JUN 30, 2005
On tap: Lots of citrus and orange peal in the aroma. Hazy amber with a small white head. Very citrusy throughout with a light fruitiness. Finish is moderately hoppy. A light peach in the background, and I’m not a big peach fan. Stronger flavors than the cask BTF, but the peach detracts a little for me, but not much.
