| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 14, 2005 In the 750 ml bottle. Pours a rich gold that resembles 3-day old urine. Initial strong fizzy white head that disappates rapidly. The aroma is exactly like the stick of bubblegum that comes in the pack of baseball cards. First sip involes a strong sweetness, but is followed by a sour tart blast. For a 9% avb, this has a mild alcohol mouth feel. Tingy tongue bitterness emerges late. Aroma and taste are also of a strong perfume. rauchbier (3004), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England

Yeast and perfumed flowery malty tripel notes in the nose, low sweet yeastiness in the mouth with hints of floral honey and malt and a lingering sweet finish tempered by some yeasty bitterness.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle marked best before 10-15-11. Pours with a large rocky head over a hazed orange body. Aroma of orange peel, Unibroue house yeast (which I associate with celery), honey, candi sugar and spice. Very fizzy mouthfeel that interferes with enjoying this beer. Taste is sweet with honey, house yeast, bread, candi sugar, alcohol and a touch of diacetyl. A bit hot (alcoholic), but I think that has to do with the beer being somewhat fresh. Too fizzy. ante (2977), Stockholm, Sweden
