2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
An orange beer with no head. The aroma is slightly sweet - rather boring. The flavor is malty sweet and plain boring.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Can 50 cl) Beautiful, golden beer - not much head though. Very well-balanced between a weak sweetness and a pleasant bitterness. Not a hugely personal beer, but professionally crafted. 250200
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33 cL bottle, courtesy of MiP. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a huge white head. Aroma is toasted malty and crisp hoppy. Bitter, caramelish and slight breadish. Smooth and crisp bitter hoppy finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 7.0%. The aroma is caramelly and sweet, herbal, peppery and slightly soapy. Clear grey golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is rather sweet, OK for the style, and in good balance with the alcohol. Quite clean and a little dusty.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: MAY 25, 2007 I can’t possibly delete such a classic rate (Aug 6, 2003) so I’ll keep it below.
Dull golden-accented bronze colour. Aroma is sweet, like honeyed creamed corn with faint grassiness and somewhat less faint alcohol. Bland, creamy body. In typical malt liquor fashion it uses alcohol rather than the touch of grassy hops to cut through the cloying sweetness. Again lots of creamed corn and really bland bready malts. Could be worse...like my previous two samples of this beer those many years ago. This time out - ice cold mind you - it’s at least palatable though not very good.
The classic August 6, 2003 rate (3-2-1-1-1 = 0.8) Light bronze. Lightly malty nose with caramel and noble hop (not so much of the latter, though). Lots of high alcohols. Palate is absolutely nasty - bizarre esters, chemicals and high alcohols conjur up images of rotten pig duodenums floating in Murmansk harbour. I only resist the urge to vomit because to regurgitate this across the palate again would be akin to heaving into a communal pit toilet at an overcrowded refugee camp in the middle of a girardosis outbreak.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
creamy head, disappearing fast. A sweet, bit hoppy aroma.
The taste is malty and sweet with a short bitter finish. A good, but not memorable maibock
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, yeast, grass and hops.
