2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle(von Max sein Vatter): Golden to orangey coloured, hazy, small but stable creamy off-white head, mild to moderate herbal to medical and slightly fruity nose, light bodied; dryish mild bitter-sweet flavour; the medical impressions return, a certain fruitiness included, in the shorter dry finish. Average, but not unpleasant ale…
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Poured light-medium orange with a creamy, sticky off-white head. The aroma picked up toasty caramel and bready notes with accents of lighter-skinned fruit and mild buttery notes.. not bad. The flavor found mostly honey and fruity malts at the core, with related residual sugars and mild earthy bitterness around.. a little tangy on the finish, carrying through more sugars. Light-medium bodied and grainy on the palate, with adequate carbonation.. OK feel and flow.. very drinkable stuff.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled on draft at the World Beer Festival Richmond, 6/12/10. Pours a clear amber color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Nutty, malty aroma with resiny hops. The taste is caramel and citrus hops. Medium boded. Fairly average.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and garthicus. Clear gold, tinged with amber, smallish diminishing white head. Hint of diacetyl, sharp floral bitterness; a little sweet. Tastes sugary, butterscotch, slightly metallic floral bitterness - mmmm, not too good. Slick, somewhat still mouthfeel, it tries to be hoppy, but the bitterness devolves to harshness, diacetyl aftertaste.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
This poured a copper/amber body with an ecru head that was barely more than a film, but it lasted throughout the drink. There’s a hint of some sort of fruit or another in the nose, but it’s difficult to distinguish because of the toffee and butterscotch. The flavor is kind of dirty, toffee and that fruit (whatever it is) along with a growing metallic taste. Not good.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear amber-orange with a small diminishing off-white head, Sweet and grainy aroma along with caramel malt and some diacetyl. Flavour, also sweet, of caramel malt, grain, toffee and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Mediocre, just passable. Hopefully this is better on tap.
