1.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20 dirtymike (2016) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 19, 2004
Amber in color,cloudy,no head.Chocolate/soy sauce aroma.Flavor is sweet and sour,malty.Obviously this isn't what they intended,but if they could only reproduce thata roma in a Belgian style,they might have something.
1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Volgon (2698) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 15, 2004
Murky deep orange color Smells like some sharp old sour socks. Too bad that this isn't a Belgium beer. This bottle is bad, spoiled, sucky, etc.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Cobra (1076) - In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA - DEC 17, 2003
12 oz. brown longneck bottle. No freshness date, although a space for one was on the back label. Poured out a typical amber color, with no head at all. Lackluster aromas in all departments. Nothing stands out to me in this beer whatsoever. I had a hard time choking down enough of it to give it a fair review. No malts, no hops and no taste, at least in my book. Maybe I got a bad batch or an old bottle, who knows? A certified drain pour.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 MAP (1133) - Lakewood, Ohio, USA - DEC 4, 2003
Why do I smell butter? Maybe I'm crazy, but thats about the only way I can describe it. Butter. Flavor is good however, smooth and subdued, with a very oily mouthfeel.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 lyebaptism (17) - USA - DEC 3, 2003
Good sized head that lasted a bit to long for my liking. Pretty amber color. Flavor wasn't the best i've had but was quite good. Decent offering from Wild Goose

Thin head with good carbonation. Head last for a while. Color is a deep copper. Aroma is interesting. I detect peppermint, malt and hops. Body is a little thin but flavorful and well balnced between the malts and hops. Finish is slightly bitter. A decent amber ale.

From 2000 Notes - Clear amber. Hoppy nose. Flavor was more bitter then expected for the style. Decent but not great.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 21, 2003
Sparkling clear, amber beer. Small, fizzy, khaki head.
Smells sweet (honey) and malty and vineous, but without any real body in the artificial-esque aroma.
Sweet on the tongue. Chewy, but no real flavor to go with the texture and malt. Medium-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Dryish, very astringent finish.
