| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Updated: Jul 29, 2007Bottle, vintage 2004. Bought at DØE Festival 2006. Pours a clear red amber with a big fizzy white head. Aroma is mild, based on caramel, but contains coriander, vanilla and herbs as well. Fizzy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, sweet and caramelly, but there is a slight tarty finish to it, not lowered by the fizzyness. The spices come to the fore in the aftertaste, letting it dry out slowly, but with a continuing pine-like and spicy taste experience. This is so muchlike a Saison that I’m almost thinking it should be :o) Dedollewaitor (3650), Odense, Denmark

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Pours a cloudy, hazy amber tone. Very apparent sweetness on the nose, but at the same time is a bit exotic and inviting. Flavor is slightly sweet, not what I expected at all. boboski (1095), Alabama, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 15, 2007 Raw cherry wood tints peek out from a cloudy, murky, dark amber body. Off-white head, moderate retention. Spicy yeast and caramel dominate an aroma that also includes dusty sugars, dates, raisins, tart citrus, brown sugar and molasses. Odd. Flavor adds notes of flowers, lavender and other perfumes, honey and melon. Taste is moderately sweet. Finish is sweet then shifts quickly to dry. The mouthfeel is very nice with plenty of carbonation, but still silky smooth. Decent. oberabcbbsok (686), Hoboken, Belgium
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 4, 2007 Draft, a very nice and rather low alcohol beer. But still with a large taste. I love the struise beers MPA (487), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2007 Bottle. Quite hazy amber with an off white/beige head. Yeast, spicyness, sugar and a touch of citrus in aroma. Sweet flavour with caramel and some spices. I can’t really get a lot from this beer, but even still it’s quite enjoyable.
