Smagen er sød med en god del bitterhumle. Alkoholen er lidt for fremtrædende til at gøre øllen rigtig god, men bestemt drikbar og fin. Rciesla (3600), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 24, 2009 Bottled@Konttori, Tampere. Amber colour, basically no head. Aroma is lots of fruity hops, some oaked notes as well as some herbal notes. Flavour is fruity, mildly yeasty, some alcohol, some plum as well as burnt sugar.. Huge grassy and caramelly peak in the finish. Hides the 9 % very well, since alcohol only shows as a slight sweetness. GJF (498), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA

Lots of carmel flavor with grapefruit hops. Spicy, dry finish with a bit of the 9% warming in the finish. I dig it. joshwilfong (778), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2009 pours slightly hazy and a rich deep amber hue. it is capped by a soft light tan head which leaves some drippy lacing.
smells like a handful of dirt with a side of iced tea... along with pennies, caramel, flowers, spice and a bunch of malt.
the palate is a bit too sweet though it is fairly well balanced and mildly bitter. flavors present are loads of flowers, spiciness, caramel malt, more dirt, oranges, grassy green hops and some sort of other fruit which i can’t specify.
it is pretty full bodied which gets a bit annoying for me as it makes it sticky at times... creamy carbonation gives it a soft mouth feel. 7/4/7/3/14/3.5
