3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(330ml bottle) Pours cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of mustiness, pepper, coriander, basil, and florals. Flavor of well water with high iron content, florals, some candi sugar, and spicy yeast.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Cloudy, amber coloured, small, but stable creamy off-white head. Moderate sourish-fruity nose, moderate to solid sourish-sweetish flavour, medium bodied. Sweet-fruity finish with a very light tartness in the very end. Not bad, but really not impressive.........
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, hazy almost chunky pour, no head shown, spice aisle and astringent nose, flavor is fruity and caramel with a metallic bite
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Delicata e complessa, è una birra di grande valore ed altissima beverinità, che rischia di farsi mandare giù con troppa disinvoltura anche perché è l’unica T’Smisje fra quelle che ho finora assaggiato a non avere il forte piccante alcolico (infatti la gradazione è minore del solito). Ce ne vorrebbe una cisterna
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Kind of a mess, really. Cloudy orange, with a lot of fruit in the aroma. No one smell stands out, just vaguely fruity. Flavor is more fruity mixed with nice herbal flavors and not so nice medcinal flavors. Maybe a little plasticy, too.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Cloudy orange gold with a medium foam. Aromas are soft malts, bubblegum and yeast with soft spices. Flavours are caramel malts with spices and yeast. Dry on the finish. Simple yet effective.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2008 Bottle from new beer. Pours a orange amber body with a creamy white head. Sweet fruity esters pear, apple, a bit tart and some candi sugar. Spices of clove and musky wood. Light etoh with a semi dry finish. Fruity esters linger in the aftermath. Good.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a lightly hazy copper, with a fizzy, short-lived head - the aroma is slightly musty and tart, with some bizarre underlying complexities that include root vegetables (starchy character), charred wood, burnt herbs, dandelions, a touch of candi sugar sweetness - an odd but not unpleasant combination - the flavor gets even more strange, though - things start out with flavors of beechwood ashes and boiled vegetables - this is followed by some bitterness and aromatic herbal and wildflower character, but these, too, taste charred, like someone lit plants on fire and crushed the ashes of them into my beer - this is followed by a very light sweetness and peppery character - the vegetal qualities and burnt flavor return for the finish, as well as some papery/cork-like oxidized notes - there is a fine line between unique/interesting and just plain bad, and this beer kind of has one foot on each side of that line.
