| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2007 33cl bottle: Nice white head that deflates quite rapidly on top of a peachy orange, slightly hazy, beer. Just hazy enough to be an unwanted haze. The head clings to the side of the glass as it dissapates. First aromas are of some litely grasy hops, amaretto cookies, faint banana, and some caramel malt. The almond fades quickly but doesn’t completely dissapear. This allows a spicy yeast aroma to take over. Dry enough and lively on the tongue. The carbonation helps the alcohol dive down your throat. "Aged" hops and sweet pale malts balance eachother reasonably well, but I could see this beer becoming sticker with warmth. Bitterness comes in the middle then fades into sweetness, only to return in a more grassy form at the end. It doesn’t suck. Bov (5514), Bienne, Switzerland

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 23, 2007 Bottle. Hazy pale golden and yellowish in colour with a rather large white head. Feels a bit sharp and moldty with notes of yeasts, caramel, grass and citrus. Not very well balanced. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 5, 2007 Bottle. Slightly yeasty and sharp mouthfeel, but has some green, grassy hops in the finish, which probably, if anything, helps to balance that a little bit. Slightly gassy/fizzy in the finish.

Hazy orange-brown color, small but steady white head. Berries, honey, spelt or wood and yeast in the nose. Dry, woody and organic-like feeling in the flavor. Some bitterness which fades quickly. I supposed that this is an organic beer. oh6gdx (9162), Vasa, Finland
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 6, 2007 Bottled. Hazy golden colour (after pouring in the yeast), small white creamy head. Aroma is flowery hops with some caramel in it. Flavour is malts, flowery hops and some grass. Indeed a dry bitterish finish. omhper (12335), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 30, 2006 Updated: Feb 1, 2007Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, small creamy head. Flowery hop aroma. Some toffee and almondy Belgian yeast character. Dryish with clean mouthfeel and fairly light body. Some cookie malt. Think De Ranke XX Bitter, but lighter, more spritzy and more streamlined. Flowery bitter finish.
