Oct 3, 2009 Bottle, poured into belgian style snifer glass. Rather fruity aroma, the appearance is VERY cloudy, not so much golden as the name depicts, more like a light brown. The flavor is nice and has a fair balance of sweet and spice. It reminds me of one of the Stone Vertical Epics, maybe the 080808, but not as good. This is my first Bootlegger beer, and they are not too far from me so I may need to pay a visit at some point.

Floral aroma. Golden coloured and sweet on the palate with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

Jul 17, 2009 On tap at the brewery, it pours dark gold color with a foamy white head. The aroma is of candy sugar. The flavor isn’t anything special or anything bad, just a middle of the road belgian.

Jul 4, 2009 On tap at brewery. Pours gold with a nice sized white head. Aroma is sweet orange fruit, plenty of candi sugar, and some yeasty notes. Unlike Plum Riot, this beer hits you with immediate sweetness. Its buttery, caramelly, sugary, and candy like all at once. For me though, this detracted from the interest of this brew. The finish is medium in length, allowing a bit of alcohol bitterness to push through.

May 3, 2009 Golden with a fluffy white head. Mild fruit grain and Belgian yeast aroma and taste. Pretty basic but decent.

May 3, 2009 750ml bottle, 11th rating for this beer. Hazy brown/orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, bready, very belgianesque. Sweet, caramally, lots of sweet light fruits, apples perhaps. Very interesting, but not my thing.
