Feb 3, 2008 Pours a clear amber-orange color with a white ring for a head. Aroma of yeast is evident along with malt and fruit. Taste is fruity with a nice malt and yeast character. Unusual and very enjoyable.

Jan 23, 2008 Bottled, consumed on 01/23/08. Pours a beautiful, clear light amber with a fine white head. Lots of active carbonation in tulip glass. Aromas of sweet, yeasty spice and coriander. Strong sweet flavor (candied sugar) with some warm spice and maybe even a hint of pepper. Some citric character as well. Alcohol warmth present and accounted for. Some astringency at first, but finish is very clean. Oh, yes.

Jan 21, 2008 Tap @ the brewery. Pours a hazy golden orange with a nice and slightly lacy white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander, malt, and yeaste. Taste is orange, honey, and bread notes up front, with noticeable coriander and yeast characteristics. The beer remains smooth throughout, and the high alcohol content is very well-hidden. I was not expecting much from this one, but AleSmith once again delivered a good offering.

Jan 17, 2008 750 ml bottle
Before hitting up Uber’s and Duck Island I decided to share this with the friend who was giving me a place to stay. Despite being around 10% I think it would be possible for a single person to finish this off alone. It is smooth enough that the alcohol is hidden until almost the end of a second glass. The only thing keeping me from buying it regularly is the price. At $12.99 it will be special occasions or trades only.
Aroma / Appearance - A one finger off white head tickled the mandarin orange body underneath. Coriander, citrus and other light scents treat the senses to a smooth simple experience.
Flavor / Palate - The spiciness comes out from the start. Oranges and white bread drizzled with honey form a light combination that washes smoothly down the throat. I find it hard to believe it is 10% because it felt so sessionable. Perhaps it catches up with you after the third glass.

Jan 6, 2008 bottle. pours a hazy amber with a relatively thin off-white head that fades and leaves a bit of lacing. smell is of pear, with some strong spices, a bit of wood, some plum, maybe a bit of apple, and perhaps even a hint of some earthy piney hops. lots of spice in the flavor, with more pear, a bit of apple, some wood, and a caramelly malt flavor. a bit mediciney in the flavor. finishes pretty sweet, moreso than i like, with a slight bitterness that doesn’t quite balance the sweetness. full bodied, with a sticky mouthfeel. glad i got to try it, but i don’t think i’m going to drop $13 on a bottle again.

Jan 6, 2008 A very bright golden orange in color with a medium foamy head. Lots of yeast and spiciness in the nose. Very powerful and varied tastes come through instantly in this ale. Loads of candy sugar, fruit, coriander and yeast. Nice carbonation. A very nice dry finish which is very well balanced with a very subtle alcohol warmth.
