mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 26, 2007 Bottle. Orange body with a lots of chunky floaties and a small white creamy head. Interestingly enough there was some orange hop character in the aroma along with bready yeast and metal. Quite sweet flavour with fruitiness in the form of pears and some tart apples. Bready alcohol is apparent also.
Pretty good overall. Radek Kliber (3912), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada May 22, 2007 Bottle.
Hazed amber red with large chunks floating about. Small, thick creamy top.3+
Aroma: Rich ,sweet malts , light hop tap. Good gentle ale.7+
Medium bodied, wet woody touches, slightly musky. Mineral-earthy notes. Yeasty, earthy. Clear and interestingly brewed. I love the set up. Neat hybrid.
nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA May 11, 2007 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Beautiful, hazy copper-orange with small yeasties swirling about under a large billowy head that leaves nice lace. Aroma is spicy peach-grape wine with a dry and yeasty astringent quality. Flavor is similar with an initial sweetness that is balanced well with a finish of some peppery hops, and some mostly dry yeast and vinous alcohol flavors. Palate is medium-bodied and dryish. I was a bit leery of Italian beer based on several previous experiences, but this attempt to imitate Belgian brewers turned out quite nicely. Still, a tad too winelike for my taste. scoobyluv (486), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 11, 2007 cloudy dark yellow color. sour fruit flavor. i have to admit that i didn’t get an alcohol taste from this Shag (1922), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 6, 2007 A murky orange appearance. Some citrus and bread present in the aroma. The flavor is a little on the spicy side with some lemons and brown sugar. Pretty good beer. shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 5, 2007 Pours a copper orange color with a white head. Aroma is malty, citrusy, and some cloves. Flavor is malty, citrus, and some cloves. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 5, 2007 Pours a transparent copper bronze with a nicely-lacing froth of light tan head. Aroma boasts some sweet pale malt and mild citrus with a touch of earthiness. Body starts fairly full and pale malty sweet with some doughy yeast and light tartness for balance hides the alcohol well. Decent complexity and very drinkable. MiP (8793), Sřnderborg, Denmark Apr 17, 2007 Bottle, 8%. Slightly farty aroma. Hazy red colour. Quite malty flavour, getting sour at the end. The sourness seems intentional. Quite harmonious, once some of the CO2 has been shaken out. Getting some dried fruits in the finish.
