WLG423 (43), Connecticut, USA Nov 4, 2009 Beer is a mellow orange color with an almost nonexistent white head. The aroma is rather grassy with slightly sour yeasty smell. Body is pleasantly carbonated with a light and slightly slick mouth feel. Fruity and slightly sour flavors are apparent but muted. Finishes off with a semi-bitter short lived finish. craftycarl21 (510), South Hero, Vermont, USA Nov 4, 2009 Semi-hazy dark gold, lots of carbonation, with a average head that reminds me of milkweed. Aroma holds lemon, yeast, dough, a bit of alcohol tingle, and some clove and other spices. Also notes of grass and a bit of earth. Flavor holds lots of yeast, grain, lemon, and some basic spice notes. Sizable amount of carbonation, with a fairly light and drinkable mouthfeel. Goes down clean, tastes decent- certainly nothing special, but an OK beer. oteyj (713), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Nov 4, 2009 Clear golden pour with lively carbonation and a one finger white head. Aroma is spicy clove, lemon, bread, alcohol, grass, and citrus. Flavor is very yeasty, doughy, and citrusy with some light spice and peppery booze. Lemon comes through further, but without any appreciable acidity. Palate is really thin- fluffy and pillowy with suitable effervescence. A nice middle of the road quaff. bleeng (587), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA Aug 20, 2009 Bottle shared at the July RB tasting thanks to Maltomeal. Hazy, yellow, yeasty. Nose is sweet, yeasty, fruity. Taste is lemony, a bit of funk with the alcohol evident. Light body, easy to drink but fades on the end. kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 17, 2009 750mL bottle. Pours clear golden, topped with a medium sized white head. Aroma of yeast, white pepper, coriander, and other spices. Flavor is pretty basic; yeast, sugar, light citrus, and mild spice. Thin bodied, and fairly effervescent. Finishes sweet, with yeast and spice. Drinkable, but not very exciting. changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 8, 2009 Golden colored and pours with a nice thick fluffy white head. Thick lacing. Aroma is fruity, apples, banana, pears, with yeast and a little spice. This drinks lighter than the 9% with all the aforementioned fruity flavors with the addition of some clove. Refreshing. Nice beer. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Jul 27, 2009 bottle thanks to Papsoe, I think. Shared at July tasting at KAggie’s house. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Good lacing. Nose is of Belgian yeast and a faint lemon. Taste is slightly of lemon and peach. Mouthfeel is creamy with lots of carbonation. Very smooth and drinkable. KAggie97 (2406), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Jul 18, 2009 Corked bottle at the July Houston tasting, courtesy of MaltOMeal. Thanks! Pours a thick, lively cheddar yellow with a nice white head. Hints of sweet cedar, musty fruit bread, and weak lemon. Flavor is bready pear with a nice finish of lemon tea and slight cherry. Semi-thin mouthfeel that doesn’t impress but the richness of the flavors make up for this shortcoming. Nice brew.
