3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 RCL (2025) - Waltham, Massachusetts, USA - NOV 30, 2007
Nice amber pour. Hay-like aroma with a hint of mustyness. Flavor’s ok, but nothing to write home about.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - NOV 22, 2007
33cl bottle from systembolaget. Clear golden body with a nice, firm white head and visible carbonation trails. Fruity, citrusy aroma, with some harsh alcoholic notes. Medium and smooth palate with nice lively carbonation. Not too much bitterness, sweet up front leading to a dryer and slightly unpleasant alcoholic finish. Mild hops. I was expecting a lot more from this, but it turned out to be a fruitier and slightly less harsh version of a strong swedish lager; better made for sure, but the hefeweizen went much better with thanksgiving dinner than this did.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Brouwser (119) - gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 18, 2007
Bière dorée plutôt foncée, presque de teinte ambrée. Très limpide. Au service, le col est discrèt et disparait en peu de temps. L’effervescence est faible.
L’arôme est d’abord sucré, fruité, mielleux, un peu floral.
Au goût, on note les fruits blans délicats et liquoreux : poire, raisins verts, lichis. On apperçoit les céréales derrière un goût syrupeux de levures et de céréales. Une bière qui a quand même beaucoup de profondeur malgré ses apparences communes. L’arrière-goût est celui de fruits blancs confits.
Elle est ronde en bouche, peut-être syrupeuse.
J’y reviendrai certainement!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 18, 2007
Pale straw/golden body, one finger white head. Sweetish aroma of pale malts with whiffs of fruit and raw, earthy hops. Quite sweet-flavored; sugery malts, herbs and sharp bittering hops. Medium body. Hoppy finish. (Bottle @ RBNAG’07)
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 TET (685) - FINLAND - NOV 10, 2007
Deep honey-yellow colour and white light head. Light malty aroma is slightly better than typical lager-aroma. Flavour is slightly sweet and there is medium hoppiness. Quite fresh and pleasant beer, but this is not luxurious at any sector.

Medium offwhite coarseish head. Golden body. Rubbery mealy aroma. Dry rubbery chalky resiny taste. Kind of flat. Quite boring. (0.33l bottle at RBNAG’07.)
