Apr 9, 2004 Columbus pours wonderful with a nice golden color and a short tight white head. I am very impressed that the bottle has held up as well as it has. Although it doesn't pour out of the bottle as well as the draught version at the brewery (with a huge white head) I will settle for the bottle. Somewhat pungent aroma, crisp malt flavor, and slight alcohol burn for an exeptionally balanced finish.

Apr 12, 2007 Bottle from the Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam. Lovely cloudy, golden ale with a large firm head. The first sip puzzles me. What is this? An explosion of flavour. Fruit - apples, pears and oranges. Spice - nutmeg, corander and cinnamon. Hoppy fruitiness with a cider-like dry finish. All these elements blend superbly into each other.
Amazing.

Feb 3, 2003 Bottle conditioned. Amber bronze with a good thick white head that lasts and good condition that picks up chunks of flaky yeast. Nice blend of hop sack, apple, yeast and bread aromas, quite complex flavours of butterscotch, malt, apple, whisky and coconut and a slightly sweet but dry long hoppy finish

Jul 22, 2005 This must be my favourite IJ beer, but I truly like most of them. Alcohol is well hidden, malty. Excellent ale.
