3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Leggera e dissetante. Aroma poco intenso ma sapore decisamente più netto, poco luppolato e dai marcati aromi di frutta rossa che lascia una bocca persistente ed equilibrata.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas zeigt sich ein schönes Bernsteinfarbenes Bier. Schon beim Geruch erkennt man die Frische! Der Antrunk bestätigt das voll und ganz! Es schmeckt absolut frisch und natürlich, zudem ist es noch herrlich rezent und gut süffig. Aromatisch kommts leicht malzig-süßlich daher, der Abgang ist sehr angenehm herb. Ein sehr sehr leckeres Bier, zu dem ich gerne öfters greifen würde.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Nose is sweet and richly malty, toffee and caramel, light nuts. Body a brilliant ruby with a soapy, rockifying tan head. Taste is actually sour, not really sweet, creamy mocha and hot chocolate dust with lots of caramel and hidden fruits. Spice melding with medium-strong carbonation, very crisp, really, with a light-medium body and some mild wheat slime. Sourness plus yeast reminds me of Heavyweight. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a foggy wood brown, with a light tan frogs’ eggs bubbly head. OK label. Sweetish cereal aroma. A little tinny, tangy, sweet.. Flavor is dominated by the malting. Tannic, woody, sweet aftertaste. Medium beer. Decent, perhaps a little plain. New Leaf Market.

Dark brown, slight but long lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, bready, a faint sourish twang, perhaps from roasted malts. Flavor is bready with a bittering dryness on a slightly roasty finish. Not bad, had more in common with a schwarzbier in some ways.

Bottle: Amber with a copper hue, large frothy off-white head, fairly nice lacing. Malty nose,
biscuit, very slight smokiness. Not very heavy, or as much as I thought it would be. Mealy, certainly has
a pale smoked malt presense. Body and mouthfeel are a little thin. Becomes a bit bigger as it warms.
For some reason it sorta reminds me of either another JW Dundee or Spoetzl beer. Seems an okay beer.
Wished it were a bit heavier tho.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
11/25/11. 500mL bottle. Clearish amber pour, mainly dark red, under a small khaki head that fades fast but laces significantly in sheets. Nice malty aroma of caramel, roasted bread, and a bit of grassiness. Sweet caramel and bread flavor as well with a touch of tart lemon peel and lingering grassy, haystack hops. There’s a hint of metal in there as well, but not bad!

50cl swing top pours clear reddish amber with one minute tan head. The aroma is kind of dusty , yeasty, spicy, tart and fruity. Hmm. Seems a little jumbled. The taste is a mix of mineral notes, cherries, yeasty spicy notes, caramel and a touch of roasted malts. After a few ounces this one grows on me some and doesn’t taste as disjointed as I’ve described.
