3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
3/5/07: Bottle.
Orange body with an off-white head that leaves a frothy lace on glass. Flowery, sweet honey aroma. Flavor of hops and honey.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours sparkling yellow with an average-size frothy white head, somewhat lasting, good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, straw, meal), average hops (herbs, grass), heavy yeast (sweat, musty) with notes of butter and paper. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness and bitterness, light acidity; sour milk.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Rather clear amber color with quite a bit of carbonation and a small white head that has died down to a thin surface covering in short order. Aromas are sweet and grainy with a little bit of a grassy note in the background. Flavor is much heavier than I expected. You can tell that it has a 7% ABV and there is a solid malt body that supports it. That said, I’m not sold on it... the flavors are OK, but nothing that is going to make my week. Subtle mix of intriguing flavors is not why you would buy this... Big alcohol body... sure.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Clear amber, with a thick durable pure white head. Very malty aroma, with a bit of fruit, perhaps melon. Fairly light body for such a high alcohol beer. Good balance of hops and a nice fizzy mouth feel.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a clear golden amber color with a quarter inch or so of foam. The head sticks around through much of the glass, but leaves minimal lacing. Mild sweet malt in the aroma.
The texture of this beer is impressive - it is quite smooth, with a medium body and great carbonation. The taste is lightly sweet and malty, and very clean. There is a mild floral/herbal hopping that balances the malt nicely
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours clear medium pale with a white head and a little lacing. Nice and malty with an earthy hop bite in the finish. Nice beer.
