smith4498 (278), Miami, Florida, USA May 6, 2008 Pours clear golden color with white head. Aromas of dough and bananas. Sweet flavor with yeast, some hops and citrus. Medium body with lively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. A decent tripel.
GangGreen712 (39), Woodstock Valley, Connecticut, USA Aug 6, 2008 What can I say? Very high quality beer! Aroma is quite strong; almost smells like whiskey. Got almost an apple-y taste. If you’re willing to shell out the dough, this is a good one. gunnfryd (2683), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 6, 2008 Bottle. Golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, apple, alcohol. Flavour is sweet, yeast, apple, alcohol, spices, fruit. Nice beer. Gpnterojd (132), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2008 This smells exactly like soy sauce. EXACTLY. I had to go to the kitchen to confirm the similarity. I suppose that makes sense, they’re both fermented.
Anywho, the beer pours a clear gold with a formidable head. The flavour has a little bit of that soy quality -- sort of a low-key grainy sweetness (wait a second, doesn’t that describe beer?). The aftertaste hints at avocados. What a crazy brew! There’s a good deal of yeast. Malt obviously, too.. but I’m having trouble mapping words to the flavour. Finishes dry, but my mouth remucouses quickly (possibly due to the 8.5% abv). Cool.
...I swear I’m not drunk yet, guys. yngwie (3385), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 29, 2008 Bottle. An unclear, next to golden beer with an off-white head. Nice, sweet and fruity aroma with some spices and hops. Spiced and fruity flavor with a good bitterness, some yeast notes too. It finishes fruity, spiced and bitter. Medium to full body, quite dry. Nice one. (080620) RedSox2004 (145), Pacific Palisades, California, USA Jul 26, 2008 Poured hazy golden yellow with a generous pillowyhead and decent lacing. Fruity aromas, mostly pear and apple, with a bit of spiciness and alcohol. Taste features the fruitiness and spices, with a strong malt backbone and a hint of banana. The warming alcohol is very pleasant. Very crisp mouthfeel, lively carbonation, and a clean pleasant aftertaste.
