| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 14, 2003 Interesting aroma that smells like garbage at first and then goes into a citrus and coriander feel. Tastes really bitter and dry up front almost wine like yet goes into a kind of dry cider feel. Pretty damn good. Drew (2410), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 10, 2003 This had a really nice mouth-watering sweet/spicey aroma. Glowing hazy gold, good head and lacing. Palate was smooth, not real thick. Taste went from sweet to dry with fruit(apricot) and spices. The one thing that I really liked was that the alcohol was not very noticeable. Thanks. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2006 This beer is a rarity that I received in a trade so long ago and I have been waiting for the time when i could share it with people who would most enjoy and appreciate it. I have kept in in my fridge all that time and noting that some of the ratings were beginning to decline, I decided that it needed to be opened. The fact that JohnC offered to send me one shows what a generous and fine person he is. The fact that the first one arrived broken in a totally destroyed styro shipper, and that he was able and willing to send a replacement shows what a uniquely fine trader John is. And that Herbjones supplied the make-up bottle for John says it all about him as well. All of the credits for the ratings from this bottle go to those two guys.
And I think everyone agreed that this bottle had held up well.
Fleeting white head over a clear gold.
Wonderfully sweet, fruity aroma with warm nuts and honey.
Not overly sweet, yet not bitter either, this one is lead by a nice citric fruitiness in the flavor. Smooth and easy drinking. Avery nice triple.

Flavor is much of the same, fairly straight forward and tasty. Well done. I tip my glass to Sawyer. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
