3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 sayravai (4655) - Helsinki, - APR 29, 2011(Bottled, 0.75l, BBE 03/2011) Opaque copper color with a medium head. Aroma of citrus and caramely malt. Flavor is lightly yeasty with grainy-caramely maltiness and fruit, with a touch of roast. Medium to full body, medium CO2. Not bad for a Belgian Amber Ale (generally not a very interesting style) - yet not memorable as such, either. 4346
