| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 17, 2005 Dark amber and orange body. Has a white head. The aroma is funky cheese with some light tobacco and vanilla. Fairly boozy smelling. The taste has more funky cardboard and some wet dog. There is also a little cola and flowers.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2005 Initial blast of hops when I popped the top off, somewhat muted in the glass. Some spicy hops in the aroma. If I had to hazard a guess, I think Simcoe hops are playing a role in this beer. Cloudy reddish amber in color with minimal head. Strawberry and lemons dominate the flavor. Somewhatflat and uninteresting thereafter. Lingering hop burn. Thanks André. bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2004 BottlePours a dark sopper.amber with a modest off-white head and a little lacing. Aroma is malt but also healthy hops. Flavor is quite strong hops, almost like an IPA. Balance with dark fairly sweet hopsworks well. Feel is moderate and aftertaste is slight bittersweet hops.
Quite different than the other few fall seasonals I've had this year. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 5, 2004 Bottle pours a clear reddish copper, small off-white milk froth like head, attractive lacing, with soft carbonation. Dominant hops, slight citrus, with subtle malt notes on the nose. Forwardly hoppy, its everywhere but on the tongue. Followed by a very slight maltiness. Its only as the beer finishes do you get the hop bitterness on the tongue.   Also a very light fruit flavor, apple or pear. Decent body, slightly less than medium mouthfeel. Lingering hop flavor, with a bit of charred wood or ashtray. Not as sweet, malty, or smooth as I prefer.
