JoeMcPhee (6834) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 1, 2004
500 ml can. Amber colour, thick off-white head. Metallic aroma, flavour is slightly sweet and malty with faint spicy hops. Horribly metallic finish really ruins this.

beaconstreet (811) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 25, 2004
UPDATED: SEP 14, 2004 Not as bad as some people say. Heavy and metallic, but a solid drink. Probably best with a light dinner. Robin in England reports: "Oooh, that's what the tramps drink, Pe-tah!"

caesar (3722) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - AUG 19, 2004
Clear copper color, short head. Nice sparkling caramel malty. Slightly bitter. Bit Palm-like, which is some kind of a belgian amber beer.

Boystout (1000) - Chisinau, MOLDOVA - AUG 16, 2004
Fairly standard golden ale. Reasonably high foamy head, light malty and appley aroma, quite neutral slightly bitter palate. An everyday pint.
