does not count  Nov 2, 2009 12-oz bottle. Stiff white head. Aroma light. Flavor to match aroma. Understated. Light flavor. Mild apricot/honey up front blending into rather sour citrus taste. Dandelion finish. Pleasant but unmemorable.

Oct 28, 2009 Smell is mostly light toasty grain and slightly sour citrus. Flavor is very bland biscuity with the carbonation floating an apricot spritz around your mouth, ending with the sour citrus again. Mouthfeel is balanced throughout temp but comes off slimy as it warms. Weird to me, I don’t hate it but can’t imagine buying it again. Thanks Avery. 2009 12 oz.

Oct 22, 2009 12 fl. oz. Bottle via Lubiere, served at cellar temperature in a Scotch Irish taster glass.
App.: Clear amber with a large light tan head.
Aroma: Burnt sugar, some dark dried fruits, quite fruity, lightly spiced, there a sharp herbal note that I can’t quite place, kinda perfumy.
Palate: Medium-ish body, fairly sparse effervescence.
Flav.: Perfumed roasted malts, some earthy citrus, some fruitiness, but less than the nose, earthy, British malts, a little soapy; almost dry with very little bitterness and some leftover British malt.
Not great.

Oct 17, 2009 The look is cloudy and hazy, but also bright. Lava lamp orange with tons of carbonation. Big head is puffy dishsoap; unstable. Leaves a film and a minor lacing.
Very nice dry malt smell. Biscuty with a cookie sweetness. Sweetness is like a pastry, not fruit. Quite nice. Fruit comes out as it warms.
Nice slightly pale flavor. Very mild and dry. A mild tartness, hints of lemon and grape. Some honey and just a smidge of spice. Really layered and balanced.
Feels creamy and thick. Slightly bubbly, but smooth overall. It’s highly drinkable, mild and dry. A nice sweet ale. Honey and red grape are the signature flavors.

Oct 11, 2009 Pours a thick dark orange with a medium ivory head. Aroma is fruity; of tangerine/orange and other fruits. Flavor is unique. definitely has the farmhouse thing going on, just slightly funky with subdued grapefruit flavors, dusty cardboard finish. Not a bad flavor, but nothing to die for either. Average mouthfeel, sticky. Upper-medium viscosity. Overall, good minus.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle at the Gingerman Fort Worth. No smell, no taste. Maybe some banana flavors. Maybe.

Sep 19, 2009 Hazy copper color with generous head, from draught tap in Boulder, CO. Nose has a slight smoky note that mixes with a background of malt and hops. Nothing special jumps out otherwise. Very balanced beer on the palate with inoffensive finish. A pleasing, daily beer with few flaws but few features to write home about. Worth trying.

Sep 17, 2009 12oz bottle from Lukas Liquor. Pour golden orange with white head. Aroma is yeast, grains and some citrus. Flavor is wheat, citrus, malt and some caramel. There is some hops in there to. Kind of like an american version of a belgain. Very drinkable and while not complex or the the style it is an enjoyable brew.
