EddieG (162), Palos Heights, Illinois, USA Aug 12, 2005 Very light browinsh/red with a lingering very dense head. Slight haze. Aroma is bready with the typical lager twang in the nose. Very light and crisp with a slightly fruity taste that is complimented by a slightly bitter and spicy hop finish. Not a typical 3F’s hop explosion which is nice. The 7% abv is absolutely hidden until about 10 seconds after is goes down the gullet and you feel it. Refreshingly spicey. SuIIy (1109), W Newton, Massachusetts, USA Nov 5, 2005 Draft @ brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a fizzy white head. Nose is very sweet, some caramel and a light floral aspect. Taste is wonderful! Some honey coated biscuits stand out. Light notes of some malt and caramel. A slightly bitter finihs. beer has a very creamy and grabbing feeling. htsprint1 (51), Urbana, Alabama, USA Aug 20, 2005 On tap at 3f in Munster. Poors thin light brown with white head. Bready, yeasty, sweet aroma. Thin and easy going down, with a sweet flavor (almost like honey) and lager-like aftertaste. Certainly not over-hopped. Another solid effort in a new style by Three Floyds. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Sep 11, 2005 On tap at the 2005 Great Taste of the Midwest: Clear copper pour is covered with a thin white head. Sweet, fresh, authentic bocky German malty aroma. Starts with some sweet caramel and sticky malt with a nice European hoppy balance. A very drinkable, well-done beer. iwantalambic (1361), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Nov 6, 2005 Draught, new brewpub November 2005: dark orange bronze with a fluffy, gray head that settles into a thin film. Toasted caramel and peanut aromas with wet malt and gooey/soaked barley in the background. Lightly bitter in the back of the throat with a rich tapioca pudding and toasted almond flavour. A much darker flavour than the appearance would suggest and the alcohol was increasingly subtle…those die hard 3 Floyds hop fans may not be able to palate this, but I thought it was a unique and tasty take on the style…way to branch out guys!
