| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2005 This does a handsome pour, clear amber in color with a rocky white head. The aroma is malty with apples and pears and a balancing herbal hopping. Very smooth in the mouth and all the way down the throat, the flavor reflects the aroma, leaving a light herbal, bitter finish. Nice drink. doostinjcap (43), Newport, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2005 Younger’s Special Bitter is a decent ale. I’ve only experienced its lucious flavors once, but it was a real enjoyment when I did. I found a love for its light amber colour, toasty malts, and slight bitterness!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2005 12oz bottle from the fridge. It was WAY too cold at 31°, so I poured it and let it sit in the Duvel tulip for a while. It poured orange/red with a 1/2" off white head. No sedimentation apparent. Now at 44°, I’ll give it a taste. Honey malt nose with some hops notes. Smells good. Taste is caramel malts with some light floral hops, maybe a touch of apricot, and a mild bitterness. The finish is dry, with some more bitterness coming through. The body is full. I find this very enjoyable, it would make a good session beer. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 8, 2005 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a small white head. Aroma of maple syrup, waffles, and brown sugar. Flavor of rich malt and caramel. FoolishMortal (965), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2005 Caramel colored with tinges of yellow, nice lingering head. Standard bitter/sour aroma. Understated fruity sweetness from the hops becomes more prevalent in the transition to the finish. Fairly thin body, with perhaps not enough malt character to balance the hops, in both flavor and aroma. The greatest atribute of this beer I believe to be the finish, rather crisp and adding greatly to this beer’s drinkability. A rather stunted bitter, it lacks the synergy of bitterness and sweetness necessary to stand out in this style.
