| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2007 750ml bottle. Batch 003. I’m glad I had the foresight to open this one up in the bathroom. Loud pop, cork flew across the bathroom (almost taking out a light) and an initial gusher (quickly settled down). Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a larger sized head. Aromas of apples, pears, bananas, yeast, and traces of spices and citrus. Tastes of the same fruitiness, citrus, and spices. Lively, but not over carbonated, body. Veer (355), Landskrona, Sweden

Flavour: oh my, REALLY nice, sourish sweet, small bitterness, liquorice, rubbery, peary bitterness, corn.
