3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle picked up at Belmont Party Supply in Dayton a month or two back. Served in a Mikasa tulip.
Pours a copper-amber color with a two-finger off-white head with some great lacing and a thin collar throughout. The nose carries a good dosing of bread crust and amber malt. Slight caramel and earth. Slight bit of pepper. Flavor is quite similar, but a bit more tame and more toward the malt. Could use a bit more yeast. Medium chewy body with good carbonation. Quite nice, and far preferable to the Blonde.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(bottle) A big head built up as soon as I opened the bottle, and continued into the glass. Head is a light beige with a cloudy copper body. Aroma of hay and grass, yeast clean earth or clay (slightly metallic, but not in an off-putting way), with fruit notes, sour cherry. Medium to full bodied, creamy and carbonated. Some lacing on the glass. Buttery malt and yeasty flavor is similar to the aroma, but more pronounced fruit flavors: cherry again, slight orange. Pretty even and balanced, actually kind of refreshing.

Malty smell, clean taste, fresh carbonation. Extremely handsome beer, nothing sticks out, just perfectly balanced.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fruit, malt, and some belgian-style yeast in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and bready, with toffee, orange and spice. Spicy bitterness and a little alcohol balance off the sweetness. Never heard of this beer before, but I will look for more.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct 2011) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of grainy malt, grass, orange and toffee. Malty, fruity taste with grain, dried fruit, cereal, caramel, orange and a slightly spicy bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Complex, tasty and quite nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml. Gorgeous amber with a bit of small suspended solids, and a huge, sticky cover of cream. Aromas of spicy wood, citrus zest, old leather, grape must, oxidation and earthy spices. Sweetish tastes on front of grape must, apple peel. fig, cinnamon; then some earthy leaf, sourwood honey, beeswax, oxidation, and toasted pecan; all bittered very well by a light, pithy wooden note. Medium body has low carbonation and is sweet-ish, but seems to have a lot of acidity and spice that dries everything quite nicely.
