Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 28, 2009 Alcohol is hidden well. Seems like Sam Adams came out w/ one that was pretty hot. Good strong coriander flavor. Easy drinker. Would like to try again. Tossed in a lemon towards the end just for grins and it was a mistake. Suttree (2697), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 25, 2009 Cloudy orange, huge white head. Nice yeasty, fruity aroma - sweet and citrus. Flavor is a nice mix of fruity - citrus with a lot of lemon and orange, plus a sublte spicyness. Insanely drinkable, especially for 8%. Really nice beer. Thanks to theisti for the trade! douglas88 (1555), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Oct 16, 2009 750 ml bottle from the beerhive. Pours a cloudy straw color with a large white head. A sweet, spicy aroma, orange peel and coriander dominate. A full flavor of spices, oranges, yeast and dry malty flavors. Pretty nice. Easygoing and tasty. BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA Oct 8, 2009 750ml Big Bomber – Gravity Beer Market – Olympia, WA
Aroma: Big malt aroma with the Belgian yeast coming through.
Appearance: Straw like Golden in color, Hazy with a light head.
Flavor: Malty with lots of spice and Belgian yeast.
Palate: Dry Finish, with a Good Mouthfeel.
Overall: A very good Belgian wit this was a great beer and the price for a 750 was very low so it was good. Lots of spice and yeast flavors made this a terrific brew.
presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 6, 2009 Pre-GABF. Quickly fading head. Almost flat. Dark cloudy. Amber, gaoslin with spice underneath. beerme1 (17), , Missouri, USA Oct 6, 2009 After trying to pop the cork for 5 minutes it poured a nice cloudy gold when held to the light with a pale yellow head. Two finger. Smells very floral with orange peel, clove, coriander, and citrusy bitterness. Lots to smell here almost snorted some foam there for a bit. First drink was citrusy-sweet orange-banana held up by a spicy floral hop bitterness. If swigged too much can become a bit overpowering. Nice wit though. rader58 (164), Leawood, Kansas, USA Oct 3, 2009 Pours a pale hazy orange. Aroma of orange, clove and slight nutmeg. Orange, citrus, clove, spice flavors. Quite a wonderful array of flavors. segfault (98), Centennial, Colorado, USA Sep 27, 2009 The sole reason I bought this beer when i saw it is that it was ’born in’ Kansas City, just like I was. Pours a beautiful hazy blonde with a lovely coriander-orange-lavender nose. On the tongue, delicate feathers of malt hit the palate with a nice balance between the malt, sour, spice, and floral components. I’m glad i saved this one for autumn; the ’double’ strength of this beer pushes it firmly from summer into autumn. A beautiful beer, i hope to get to have it in the future.
