Spiced, tropical fruits on the nose. Nice, refreshing, carbonated palate. Flavor had a lot of malt and breaded grains and roasted, creme brule-like sugars with some citrus fruit. Had gotten a little dry towards the finish. Nordcore (297), North of, Norway

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 7, 2009 750ml bottle shared by matt7215 at our second KW group tasting. Thanks Matt! Pours a beatiful straw gold, hazy with a lot of white head. Aroma: Skunk, but in a good way, Tums, powdered sugar, Bretty goodness, very dry and yeasty. Flavour: Really nice malty body to all the above mentioned aspects, very sweet but with some awesome bitter hoppy balance in the finish. Comes across astringent with that Bretty spritzy lemon lime up front characteristic that I love so much. Refreshing. Awesome stuff! Multy-layered yet simple and tasty at the same time. An awesome beer, thanks Matt for sharing! Cavie (1521), Fort Worth, Texas, USA

I could use more taste by far. Does not have a barleywine alcohol taste but finishes easy. kevd193213 (519), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA
