| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 29, 2008 Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée-dorée et voilée. Nez de houblon résineux, citrique (pamplemousse) et aux notes herbeuses, fruité (abricots et agrumes sucrés), moyen de caramel sucré, léger de céréales et d’alcool ainsi que des notes de pain et de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse et résineuse. Goût amer de houblon citrique, résineux et aux notes florales (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un goût fruité sucré (agrumes et abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle sucré, moyen de biscuits au miel, léger de pain et avec des notes de caramel sucré. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un goût d’alcool réchauffant jusqu’en finale, où l’on assiste à un regain d’amertume asséchante plus herbeuse (notes de thé) ainsi qu’à la présence d’un léger goût épicé (poivre doux). Post-goût long et moyen-sec, plutôt amer de houblon citrique, résineux, moyennement herbeux et légèrement floral avec un goût fruité (zest d’agrumes, pelures d’abricots) et un léger goût d’alcool.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2008 22oz. bottle. Fruity, hoppy nose, leafy, floral and citric with notes of lemon, faintly sweet pale malt, spice and pine. Clear medium golden color with a lasting, fine head leaving sheets of thin lacing. Flavor profile is a combination of prominent, lasting, bitter and spicy hops, gently doughy malt sweetness, orange, lemon and apricot fruitiness, and touches of peppery, warming alcohol lasting long into the finish. Tingly and active on the palate, body is medium-full. An interesting creation, this is. zeke626 (302), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Nice bouquet of floral hops. Big sweet malty aroma (not exactly what I’m looking for) Heavy even. Medium-full bitterness. Clean, with full fruity hopdriven finish. Lighter than expected from the aroma, but still heavy, even it comes across as fairly dry. JorisPPattyn (5163), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Pale orange-amber beer with small, off-white head. Wet dog, rainwater, faint flowery, hops, and a faint brandy aroma. Sweetish, but with a hoppy flavour; stale cookies in the background. Medium bodied, alcohol obvious. Quite neutral beer. Good balance, but that being the best that I can state about it. The wheat keeps hidden. Thanks, CK!
