| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Pours a light orange gold with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is slightly hoppy with a strong ’brewery’ character to it. Nice bready flavor with a good dose of hops. Clean and crisp. DownsouthGav (602), Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2007 Nose of malt, hops and dates. Has a nice crisp mouth feel. Some alcohol is detected although this balanced with sweetness and hoppiness. A dry finish. Quite a nice beer. Chapel (330), Levittown, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Bought because of the interesting bottle, I’ll admit. Looks much more like a scotch than an ale. Pours deep amber with a yellow rapidly disappearing head. Aroma is a strong but cleanly balanced light roasted malt/hops. There is just an interesting aspect about this ale that makes it very smooth. Flavor is balanced with the same ’clean’ hops at the end as in the aroma. I wonder if the cleanness as anything to do with the organic aspect? yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2007 500ml bottle, 4.5% a/v
Gorgeous bottle. Very well carbonated with a coppery gold colour. A large white head as well. The nose is skunky and hoppy. The Taste is gloriously hoppy with a nice malt infused hop aftertaste. BelgianBeerGal (1283), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Very clever 50cL bottle that is a prize for homebrewers I am told. Both the appearance and the flavor were buttery and creamy to me. Easy drinking, enjoyable ale. Slipstream (747), USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 27, 2007 I love that unusual medicine bottle design, and there is a mysterious key and crow on the label! This is a brass-colored beer with a frothy head. Floral and vegetal touches in the aroma. Smooth, gentle, and fresh flavor, with hops in the finish. What holds me back from a higher rating is its mildness. A good all-purpose ale - I could have a few of these and just sit and marvel at the bottle. wshores (57), Saltillo, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Suprise, Suprise, I love it when it happens. Excellent drinking beer. Slightly murky off gold color, possibly a little yellow green? Aroma of fresh bailed hay. Nice medium malty feel. A little hops. Not anywhere near my favorite styles but this was great. Thank you Kim (my gf) for picking this out, she liked the bottle. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Interesting malt presence, very flavorful beer. Clean, refreshing, and easy to drink. Very light on the palate. I don’t think its anything overly great, but to me it was a refreshing change from some heavier beers. Something I’d come back to.
