Skyview (3973), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Apr 16, 2007 Shared bottle at JK’s Spring Gathering. From the bottle it pours an opaque burnt copper brown with a creamy tan head. Lacing is very good. Aromas picked up were tart lemons, caramel, prunes and perfume hops. Taste was tart fruit, some grass, and caramel. Finish was a dry sour and then a quite warm aftertaste. jimhilt (1662), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Apr 16, 2007 Explodes out of bottle making a five-finger+ white rocky head that goes quickly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Ton of yeast. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Malty, yeasty nose. Flavor is sweet and spicy some raisin, clean finish. $5.99 for a 330ml bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 27, 2007 Poured a cloudy medium brown with a huge white head. Aroma was of some yeast and maybe a little belgianness. Flavor was sweet and a little hot for only being 7.5%. Not too sweet though, not to bad but definetily different. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Mar 22, 2007 Cloudy caramel in color with a khaki dust harrowing at the sides. Icy whitish grey lines the head completely. Coriander, ragweed and cherry blossoms strongly rope in the olfactory. Plastic squeeze toys drop in mulberry caramel pools. Coriander and aged grains of paradise roll with soiled oats, sitting in the back of a wooden wagon for a strange flavored derivative. Soiled mulberry potpourri also comes to call. Fullness of body is cherry picked by the tainted cranberry stew spread over dried out prairies, becoming a touch too tarnished with garden variety tendencies. Rhubarb and spiced plum tea flavored toffee digress too forcefully in the finale. Thanks for sharing, Brigadier! FoolishMortal (965), San Diego, California, USA Mar 21, 2007 Hazy dark orange with a towering off-white head. Applejuice, candied citrus, and floral spiciness in the aroma. Muted malt flavors up front, fruity and estery. Herbal spicy flavors then manifest, some floral tones. Earthen peppery character in the finish with some ruddy caramel. Mouthfeel is a medium light, somewhat dry. Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured hazy copper with an large fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet citrus spice aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and bottle conditioned thin particles. Heavy balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout beer and I would recommend this to a freind. robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA Mar 18, 2007 Cloudy Dark Orange with Brown Hue..Big Sandy Head. Alot of Floral, Fruit and Spice on the Nose. Alot of Wispy Carbonation...Dry Peppery Aftertaste. Sweet Malty Foundation.. Balanced Mix of Subtle Hops...Alot of Drying Spices.. A Little Bit of Vegetable as Well. Clean, Bittersweet, and Enjoyable. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Mar 14, 2007 Bottled. Poured a medium orangey-caramel with a tall, creamy off-white head… left nice lacing as it went down. Aroma picked up soft floral and dusty lemon with more (different) floral coming shortly afterward.. soft and intriguing with some unidentifiable spicage and sweet cherry rounding it out. Dusty cherries, very dry floral, and an array of chalky spices characterize the flavor.. left a sticky, odd finish. Smooth and creamy on the palate with some prickly pepper notes.. higher carbonation.
