Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Apr 8, 2006 Bottle thanks to Hopdog back in January at his weekly tasting. BB 07. Pours a pure hazy yellow with ok white head but fades. Has a weird fruity aroma, almost strawberry -like with some herbal hops and sweet bready malt. Sweet flavor with earthy spicy phenolic saison like quality to it. Has a pretty nice dry finish to it. Body is a bit weak though. whaleman (2168), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 23, 2006 Thanks hopdog. Banana yellow body with a clean, fading white head. Aroma is of honey, fresh split grain, and some sweet, earthy maple. Pleasant spicy yeast phenols lead in the flavor with light bubble gum, moderate sweet honey notes and some even, balancing bitterness. Nice beer. hopdog (4648), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 19, 2006 Bottle labeled best before 02/02/07. Poured a medium golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of yeast, spices (mainly pepper), apples, pears, and some bananan. Aromas of yeast, lighter pepper, and fruity. I was really into the aroma but found the tastes to be a big let down (being on the thinner and watery side). TomDecapolis (2481), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 18, 2006 Thanks to hopdog. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium white lacing head. Aroma of yeast, spices, apples and pears. Flavors of the same. A little more yeast and pepper in the flavor. Cornfield (4343), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Jan 18, 2006 Retired, but according to the stamping, good for another two years. Nice pour, hazy yellow/straw with an intially frothy white head. No lacing. The aroma is full of fruit- peach, cherry, banana - with a sweet malt base. There’s a bit of a floral smell. And yeast, The flavor of this light-bodied ale is a small let-down, the sweet malt dominating supported by a lighter fruitiness, now including a citric tartness. Good & refreshing.
