Jul 19, 2006 (05.28.06) One pint, 6 oz brown bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. Poured hazy orange with small white head. No discernable carbonation. Fruity honey aroma. Medium-to-full bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/spicy flavors. Finished with light malt fade and some bitterness. Alcohol dangerously well hidden in this more-ish beer. Smooth and flavorful, this is an excellent ale.

Jul 18, 2006 Bottle: Pale golden in color, moderate frothy off-white head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation. Sickly sweet nectar like aroma, very slight band-aid, otherwise dull spiced background. Slight floral, medicinal, and herbal/floral aspects as well. Rich malty start, fairly sweet, but a bit astringent as well. Much like a Belgian Golden, and perhaps a bit heavier. Fairly chewy, and certainly big bodied. A bit rough overall, with very slight alcohol on the exit. Tiz okay, but certainly doesnt seem that belgian to me.

Jul 3, 2006 Thanks to maniac for supplying some of this. Aroma is very tea like, light malts show through in the ending. Nice orange-brown colored body with a light white head. Taste is outstanding, great spices and lovely honey, light fruits as well. Hops and malt are present but they don’t define the taste characteristics. Excellent ending, tea characteristics show up again with some light hop endings.

Jun 30, 2006 Bomber. Pours a hazy light orange with a tight white head that last. Aroma is spicy phenols along with some sweet orange. Flavor is very much like the aroma....lots of spice, some sweetness, a little orange, and a warming of alcohol. Finishes a bit sweet. Overall, this is a very nice beer.

href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?U target=blank> mds, thanks Mike. Golden amber in colour, thin off white coloured head, some patching lace. The aroma was of citrus (mainly orange zest), apples, yeast, light alcohol. The flavour had some noticable caramel malt sweetness, light spice, citrusy, floral, some yeast, alcohol warmth. Soft bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a light sweetness, lingering.
