Jun 28, 2008 Poured a hazy golden color with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, orange peel, pine, a bit of toasted dough, citrus fruits, light ginger, and other seemingly Belgian spices. Taste of pine, orange peel, citrus fruits, simcoe, white pepper, a bit of grass, and a bitter, finish with some alcohol in there as well. Thanks Paul!

Jun 28, 2008 Thanks to Glouglouburp for hooking me up. Pours a nice bright hazy gold/straw yellow with a massive sticky white head similar to houblon. Aroma is spicy phenolics and borders being awesome, and slightly offensive- mixes quite well with the massive ammounts of american and european hops which mask some of the yeasty phenolics. Doughy rich malty flavor - tons of pils malts, light nuttiness, and great hop character, fruity, citrus, tons of earth and herbal hops, light grapefruit, and perfect balance in the mouthfeel. One of the very few beers in this new "style" that actually turned out great. Houblon, and Xtra Gold batch 2 are the only beers that can compare to this.

Jun 26, 2008 Thanks to dickinsonbeer for sharing this one. Pours a hazy golden with a large foamy white head that left all kinds of sticky lacing...pour this one carefully. Aroma of sweet orange, pepper, lots of spicy notes, bready, floral, light ginger...really nice hoppy meets belgian ale aroma. Flavor was bready, a bunch of mixed spices, pepper, Belgian yeast esters, hop flavor, floral and citrus, the Saaz seems to be coming through more in the flavor. Well done.
