The beer after its checking out of the 330ml brown bottle pours a foggy yellow-orange color with a modest bright white head that vanishes rather quickly, the texture creamy and the lace forms a glutinous sheet that sticks to the glass. Nose is tart with a hint of yeast and a nice malt tone at the back, crisp and fresh to the senses, start is sweet and the malt pleasant with the top light. Finish is ferine in its acidity, the hops spicy and the aftertaste sour and quite dry, a drinkable beer.

Oct 3, 2008 Slight hazy amber hue, with some chunky floaties of lees swirling around, with a frothy white head, yeasty, fruity nose of ripe apples, pears, with some toasted, honeyed malt avccents with a mild note of nutmeg spiciness, and a light candi sugar sweetness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, orange, peach and marmalade character, with some nice toasty, honeyed sweet malt notes, with a good flowery hop citrusy and leafy accent, with a hint of spiciness, leading towards a malty, hop leafy bittering finish.

Sep 9, 2008 330ml bottle at Quinns, 6th September 2008. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma and flavour very similar - peach, candy sugar and soft malts. Decent but not special.

Sep 4, 2008 Dark orange colored with hazy appearance. Little yellow head. Rich spiced aroma with lemon, some grainy note also here. Medium bodied. Flavor is even more grainy with still sour lemon, spices and yeast come up nicely. Somehow flat palate. Weird beer with lots of grains but good spices.

Hazy rich yellow, thin head. Soft light grainy aroma, some gentle hopping too. First taste was astounding - very gentle grains, some creaminess, some popcorn-like corn. I know that doesn’t sound so good, but each component was delicious. Later sips were less exciting, wheatier, heading towards a wit, and with a bit of lemon. Very interesting, quite a fun one to drink. Yeast changed very little, maybe added a slight liquorice component. IMHO drink without yeast for a crisper taste.
