| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2009 750mL bottle, first bottling. Poured clear, brighter orange with a short cream colored head that didn’t stick around for too long. The aroma picked up a semi-sweet bouquet of lighter fruits laced with spicy yeast and a mild, rougher impression of oxidation.. nice overall. The flavor was sharper with more notes of oxidation joining some lemon zest and grassy notes.. the maltage stayed fairly simple and sufficient with pale and light fruits represented.. finished with more of the rough stuff and a sticky bitter impression. Medium-bodied with ample carbonation on the palate.. unfortunately this seemed to be a tad past its prime, and the degradation impeded the flow a bit. I’d love to try a fresh one.
