2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A Mes rate:
Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Gold colour with a slight haze. Thin white head. Farty and sulphuric nose. Dull blonde in the mouth. Yeast, salt and pepper and rather boring.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Haze pale gold, lasting white head. Strong Belgian yeast aroma. It’s pretty standard in the strong Belgian ale style, which I like, but it’s not terrific.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled - Chris O shindig 2007 - A quite bright golden coloured beer with a whitish head. An overcomplicated aroma of spices and pepper. The taste is spicy and peppery also. Overcarbonated, and pretty disappointing.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JAN 1, 2010 2010 rating: Hazy dark straw. Some jammy esters on the nose, along with appley notes. Soft fruits like pears, blueberries, and peach, none too assertive. The malts and mild alcohol are both understated. 6-3-6-3-12 = 3.0
2007 rating: Golden colour, quick-falling head. Hmmm...protein chunks. Estery, performey aroma with light peppery alcohol. A bit thin with a spicy note (coriander, alcohol) and some barely developed pale malts. Meh. There are so many similar beers that are executed with greater craftsmanship and passion. 6-2-6-3-12 = 2.9
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottled) Hazy golden with a smallish, a bit lacy, reasonably lasting head. Quite fresh and pleasant, gingery, perfumy and grassy-lemony aroma. Flavor of sweetish malt, ginger, fruit, some honeyish alcohol, and mildly bitter hoppiness. Dryish, mildly acidic finish. Alcohol is mostly hidden in the flavor, but evident in the aftertaste. Although not too complex, it’s still solid and quite refreshing, strong summer blonde.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden color, hazy with tiny chunks of yeast floating. lemon and chewing gum in the aroma. Alcoholic, perfumed citric flavor. Loads of coreander and some ginger. Flowery aftertaste with fruity esters.
