| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle and served in a tulip. This poured a golden orange hue with a light haze and a thin head of off-white foam that quickly settled. The aroma included light skined fruits, grass, bread, and some spicy yeast esthers. The flavor had dry apple, pear, faint orange, fresh grass, a hint of caramel, and some mildly funky, spicy yeast. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had moderate, aggressive carbonation. Finishes dry and very crisp. Quite refreshing. Not the most avant garde beer, but very well made and quite tasty. JPDIPSO (4894), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 22, 2009 Lightly hazed golden color with a taller creamy, cream colored head. Mostly a grainy aroma. Some light herbs, and a touch of fruit play about in the background. In a blind sniff, I’d be tempted to say this was a weak malt liquor. LIght and nearly spritzy in feel. Flavors are not weak. Pale malt start. Some mild funk in the middle, with some yeast and mold, zest and dried weeds. Alcohol and light fruit in the finish. Linger is rather dry and I catch some metal and more dried grains. A rough brew for me, I get no finesse. I don’t envision a meadow on a late summer day with a spread of fresh bread and local cheeses; rather a street corner and paper bag. jujubeast6000 (777), Houston, Texas, USA

Pours a somewhat hazy orange colored body with a big foamy white head, lasting. Sweet floral aroma. Some musty dark fruit too., also some nuttiness. Nice light floral taste, some spiciness. Soft carbonated palate. Some nuttiness balancing the hoppiness. A little bitter hoppiness, along with some dustiness. Tasty. Theis (3651), Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 11, 2009 2007 vintage. In the corked bomber bottle from Pizza Port. Pours a rich goldenrod yellow with a very thin white head that dissolves rapidly. This has a mild sour nose that is fairly masked by what I would describe as a freshly ground apple cider apple aroma. The flavor is dryer than it is sweet, but the medium hop bitterness blends it into a nice finish. Not outstanding, but pleasant. RichardGretton (3143), Leicestershire, England

The aroma is strongly spiced and mildly vinous, and the flavour is mellow, spiced and quite strongly vinous and bitter at the finish. Overall a very nice beer. Mette (224), Frederiksberg, Denmark
