Aroma is a lot of lemon along with slightly papery and wheaty hints. Flavour is very much nothing, only some mild lemon, slight spices and sour hints. Quite soapy.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Bouteille 341ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur jaune dorée et semi-voilée. Nez de houblon floral et légèrement herbeux (faibles notes résineuses), de levures fruitées (pamplemousse et aux agrumes sucrés, traces d’abricots), léger de blé, de malt du genre biscuits sucré et d’épices (coriandre, traces de poivre). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux notes résineuses. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes sucrés, surtout citron et pamplemousse avec leur zest, léger de pêche et notes d’abricots, traces de raisins verts) avec un goût moyennement amer de houblon floral et légèrement herbeux (herbes très fraîches, présent toute la gorgée), ainsi qu’un léger goût épicé (coriandre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté légèrement sucré de biscuits (petites notes de miel et de pain) avec des notes de blé asséchant puis en finale l’on assiste à un regain de houblon plus floral, légèrement résineux et asséchant ainsi que des faibles notes de levures épicées (poivre). Post-goût long et sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral, herbeux et légèrement résineux ainsi qu’un goût fruité (zest d’agrumes) et de petites notes de blé.

Bottle at GBBF. Watery yellow appearance but with a decent head. One dimensional lemony hop aroma with very little else going on. Flavour is awfully soapy and eveything else it has to offer is completely masked by it. Certainly not the beer of the gods in my opinion. hughie (3054), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Bottle from GBBF ’07. Hazy gold with a white head. Spicy citric aroma, but that doesn’t describe it at all. I thought I detected raw potato and ginger as well. Taste is spicy and quite gentle at first with tobacco and coriander, however the dry surge at the end is quite startling. ’German-style Farmhouse Ale’, they say? Well it’s not a style I’m familiar with. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Bottle, from the GBBF. Hazy gold, airy clean white cap that settles into a compact 1/2 inch. Piney, coriander seed, spring garden herbal aroma. Brisk full herbal hoppy bite, spicy, bracing. Melon, peach fruitiness. A gentle malt sweetness rounds it out. A flavorful but approachable pale ale. Well done. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Thanks to I believe Badgerben for sharing. Pours a cloudy light straw yellow. Very tart nose of lemon and grapefruit. Super tart flavor, that I can’t tell if it is infected or intended to be this way, but it kinda works with very tart citrus dominating.
