May 1, 2005 Cloudy amber. An off-white ring doesn’t last on top of it. Very doughy aroma. This yeast strain of theirs sure does create interesting flavours. On top of that, the super possesses a great self-assurance in aroma that would make it recognizable among a dozen of similar products. Rich biscuity malt, maybe chocolatey even is loaded with marzipan, almonds and wood. Heathery yellow apple skins comes out powdery and make me think of the quintessential bakes fruits salad. Strong yeastiness, highly carbonated. Light-medium body could use some weight perhaps, but this remains remarkable stuff.

May 19, 2005 Bottle... Murky, caramel colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Flemish nose... lemon and wood. Tastes a bit like brand new Tupperware with a caramel chaser. A touch grassy. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Lengthy, sweet finish with a whisper of mango at the very end. Overall, not a bad brew, but it’s a little too sweet for me. Spendy too, at around $15 per bottle.

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.

Aug 31, 2005 Bottle. Pretty good. Estery fruit. Banana and red berry and some black currant. Slightly yeasty, and quite smooth, quite well balanced in the end. I am getting touches of apricot as the description above says. I think this is pretty good, but probably not as good as i was hoping.

Oct 1, 2003 Dark orange-amber; yeast all in suspension; good yellowish head. Nose is fruity (kaki-fruit?), estery, yeasty and a bit oppresive. Taste is fruity again, slight tarty-sourness. Well-bodied, creamy too. fruity aftertaste. This is a good rich beer, but not out of the world - completely paling against the Solera version of the same beer.

Nov 21, 2005 Hazy orange colour with a tan head. Sweet malty aroma, quite fruity and with a light yeasty note. Sweet malty flavor with a faint buttery note.

Jul 9, 2003 Updated: May 4, 2005An unavoidable chunkstorm releases bready yeast and sweet peaches...Orange candy allusions morph into a slight astringency and approach wet apricots...Lavender cakes and tired earth make for a very original pastry...
