Aug 29, 2009 5oz on tap at Beachwood BBQ. Appears clear gold with a small head. Aroma is a bouquet of sweet flowers and bath soap. A bit much on the nose. Flavor starts similarly sweet, a bit of vanilla blended with sweet flowers and red gummy bears. The finish holds an addition of hop-bitterness, but also sticks firm to the “perfume” theme. An odd beer, hard to deride but also hard to love. I’ll settle for “above-average intrigue.”

Aug 28, 2009 BCTC. Pale golden straw with head. Barn hay grass lemon aroma. Lemon peach grass hay with mild funk. Less assertive than expected. One of my most anticipated beers, but a slight letdown.

Aug 25, 2009 aaaaaaahhhh! surprise death cork on this one, undid the cage, turned to change the channel, and boom! slight gusher, bought about 6 months ago..6:19pm august 25th 2009.. . pours a simmering gold with lots of champpagin style bubbles.. very spritzy! .. . i want to sail around the world.. . fantastic amount and orientation of foam .. . lots of playful bretty goodness, light bitterness with small whiffs of tropical fruit, wonderfully light yet assertive.. . this is a very easy and fun beer to drink... what about the terrorists? thats right, terrorists... this would be ridiculous on tap! OK, some free associations from my infancy. A beach ball. A Dog. A Log. A poodle. A Noodle. A doodle. ..

Aug 22, 2009 Tap at Barcade. Hazy yellow-gold pour with a thick sticky white head. The aroma is great. Loads of sweet/tart pineapple and a lovely bretty spicy funkiness. Fairly fruity nose with a touch of lactic tartness as well. The pineapple character lingers nicely on the finish along with a touch of minerally character that lends a nice dryness along with the acidity. Warming brings up a bit more soft tart fruitiness and kiss of mint on the back. Awesome stuff.

Aug 20, 2009 [2371-20090801] Sample. Sweet pineapple apple aroma. Hazy, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting bubbly white head. Nice Belgian yeasts and pineapple fruit flavour. Medium body. Lovely to sample.
