Earlier Rating: 5/7/2003 Total Score: 3.2
Hazy apple juice color, with a medium off-white head. Aroma is spicy, apple, acidic, musty. Taste is fruity (apple/pear), acidic and yeasty, with minimal sweetness. Finish has slight bitterness. Alcohol is apparent, but not overwhelming -- has a nice warming effect. Quite dry. Evokes comparison to champagne, though not as sweet. Given that I am not a fan of champagne, this isn't something I relish.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2007 Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) This time as Millennium 2000. Clear pour, except for some floaties, golden to straw color, with a huge, white head on top. Sweet and slighlty grainy aroma with a little alcohol. Malty (wheat?) flavor with a balancing fruityness, as well as alcohol. Quite effervescent and warming in the mouth. Nice, but the Malheur beers somehow fails to be as good as expected. Rating: 6-4-7-4-15-3.6. I’m leaving the old rating valid.

Bottled, 0.75ltr. Lightly hazy and golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is mostly hops and alcohol with some yeastiness. Flavor has maltyness and sugar too. Full body and a mellow bitter finish. (060328)

750ml bottle-pours a big foamy white head and hazy gold color with effervescence. Aroma is perfumy, floral/grassy (saaz?), fruit-peach, some yeast. Taste is perfumy, floral/grassy/spice (saaz)-hops, malty, fruit-peach, some yeast. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a big lively and creamish white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, spices and alcohol. Good champagne mouthfeel. The flavour has spices and banana, wheat, yeast, malt, alcohol and a pleasant bitterness. Good bit spiced bitter finish.

Bottle. (As Millenium 2000). [vintage 1999]. Bought @ Kulminator, Antwerp.
Hazy orange with loads of small particulates. Head is light bubbly and thin. Aroma is sweet malty, a little port, light vinious. Extremely oily and low carbonation. Flavour is sweet, sticky, caramel, very vinious and warms all the way down. Light spicy finish. Great to try this aged.

Hazy amber with a very nice head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of fruit. This goes for the flavour too, and here I find even more notes of fruit, citrus mostly. It has a nice hoppy bitterness to balance the sweetness. The alcohol is IMO a bit too dominant, especially in the last part of the flavour.

Pours a huge head that disappears slowly. Slightly hoppy, slowly aroma. Hoppy and flowery flavor, just a bit citric. Long very hoppy finish. I like the complex flavor much better as the aroma.

bottle. cloudy yellow, giant white thick smooth head. citrus and faint spices in the aroma. Very delicate aroma, strong citrussy. also some yeast and perhaps wheat in the foundation. flavor is honey, faint bitterness, citrus. flavor is much sweeter than aroma, but is well rounded. ends a bit dry?. probably hops.
