Elwood (665), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Nov 6, 2009 Serving: 750 ml. bottle.
Appearance: Cloudy, light orange color with a frothy, white head.
Aroma: Honey, candy sugar, light wheat, floral notes, and orange blossoms. Very nice.
Flavor: Lots of sweetness (a bit to much in fact), dry medicinal notes, orange, wheat, and ginger. Somehow the flavor profile never quite comes together.
Palate: High carbonation with a medium-light, sticky mouthfeel and a medium, almost medicinal finish.
Overall: This one kind of falls apart on me. Good nose, but the flavors just never seem to come together in the right way. Not recommended. corby112 (677), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 1, 2009 Pours a hazy golden orange color with a thin foamy off-white head that quickly fades. Not much in the way of lacing.
Spicy floral aroma with some light crisp fruit notes and citrus peel presence.
Crsip golden fruit flavor with a touch of floral hops and subtle spiciness. Orange peel is prominent with other light crisp fruit, mostly apple and pear. Alcohol very well masked and well balanced making it very quaffable. Slightly sweet with a bitter hoppy dry finish.

Wheat malts in the initial flavors with spiced and pepper. Light fruit and strong yeast notes which where great. IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 11, 2009 750 ml bottle from Hollingshead Deli that I got in July so it must be the 2008 and the label lists it at 8.6% ABV. Nose of sweet candi sugar, cloves, ginger, and light yeastiness. Lightly hazy yellow with a medium white head. Flavor is spicy and sweet; spices being the ginger and cloves. Pretty good but not great! DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 23, 2009 Bottle from Craft. Turbid orangy pour with 2-fingers of off-white head.
