Clean golden color, average white head, hops in the nose. no lacing. in aroma you have hops and some softness. Flavour turns more robust hops and soft bitterness.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 18, 2009 500 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear golden with a decent white froth.
Aroma: Lots of wet, fresh hay, a little grassy hops, some light fruity, malts, some grain and cereal.
Palate: Medium body and carbonation, not as smooth as expected.
Flav.: Lighter than the nose, still some peppery, grassy hops, less of the wet hay, more nondescript cereal/grain; dry, lightly bitter with a mineral finish.
Pleasant but blah. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway

Slight hazy yellow color with foamy white head. Aroma pretty mellow, slight grassiness and some sweetness. Flavor has a nice medium body, good saazy hop presence, then switches to a roasted malt flavor, bit smokey. Different flavor. Very enjoyable. theisti (1654), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2009 500 ml bottle purchased at Gomers in Lees Summit, Missouri. Enjoy the best taste before the end 06.08 stamped on label. Pour is slight chill haze golden yellow with a bunch of fine carbonation streaking to the surface. A fluffy three inch pure white head forms, and is fairly slow to fall. Thick lacing left behind as the head falls. There are a couple of small floaties in the beer as well. Aroma of grainy straw and malt, some nice toastiness behind that - slight touch of mineral floral. Nice organic natural nose. Taste is more simple than the nose, straight forward grain straw malt, with the mineral and toastiness in the finish. As with the nose, the taste is clean and natural tasting. Palate is medium to thin, nice active carbonation and a smooth flinty finish. Despite the age, still a nice enough beer.
