ATLBeerDog (274), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours a beautiful rusty red/copper color with a non existent head, way below average lacing and hardly any carbonation. The dominate smell is heavy fruit with citrusy floral hops and mild malts. First taste is light and very sweet like honey, and not much of a hop note. Finishes with a bitter aftertaste. Light in body and taste. Not bad for a sipper.
Hophead22 (329), Redlands, California, USA Sep 28, 2008 1L bottle 1999 vintage. Murky brown pour, not much head. Rich malty aroma. Ooo, that has held up very well. Rich smooth flavor lots of depth, just spectacular. No hint of alcohol, just beautiful. ThomasE (5075), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 7, 2008 Cloudy orange colour with a beige head. Malty, buttery and light fruity aroma with hoppy and acidic notes. Malty, caramel sweet flavor with fruity and acidic notes. BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Aug 10, 2008 Shared this with a friend awhile back. I am glad I did, because I do not think I could have made it through it all by myself. First thing I notice is the low amount of carbonation, but has some ripe fruitiness and a high level of malty sweetness, and a bit of vanilla that sticks around leading into a sticky mouthfeel. Could be a little more hoppy to add some much needed bitterness in the finish. uhre (299), Denmark Aug 2, 2008 A lot of caramel in the aroma, but also with dark fruit. The beer is copper brown. Flavor of caramel, but it has a weird finish perhaps a bit of acidly. KimJohansen (4299), Copenhagen V, Denmark Jul 31, 2008 Hazy deep amber with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, ripe fruits, caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet fruity flavor with hoppy, caramel and fruity notes. Ends bitter.
