Jul 22, 2009 Bottle many thanks to Andy. Beautiful label, and nice-looking hazy bright gold pour, but this beer was just not for me. So much spice. Coriander and grains of paradise and other spices predominant on the nose. Couldn’t even really feel out any banana or yeast or citrus. Bummer.

Jul 22, 2009 750ml shared by durhambeer - thanks, Bob! The nose is immediately attractive, a very spicy followup to the NG Imp Saison we’d just shared. But the nose is the best thing about the beer, to me. Nice looking pour, with a robust body. But the spice and yeast sharpness dissipate quickly, leaving a slightly tart and not altogether satisfying brew.

Jul 22, 2009 Thanks durhambeer for sharing. Pours a bright gold with a one to two finger foamy white head. The nose is spicy, huge coriander presence, yeasty, orange rind, very pungent and spicy. Cloying with time. Flavor is spicy, lots of coriander, sweet, citrusy. Spicy palate with an orange peel bite. Gets tiresome, would stop at 4-6 oz.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle shared at Noogfest High 5.
Poured hazy orange yellow color with a medium frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate yeasty sour citrus and herbs aroma. Medium body with a tingly smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met with an above average beer for style.

Jul 21, 2009 Murky golden yellow with a medium white head, a bit darker than your average witbier. Aroma of coriander, orange peel, odd spice (I’ll guess lavender) and yeast. Most witbiers are just average and rather thin once you hit the taste department, but this double version came across quite nicely. Coriander, yeast, caramel malt, fruit, orange peel and spices are very evident and perhaps a little alcohol too. My first brew of the smokestack seriers comes across as a winner.

Jul 20, 2009 Corked bottle. Pours a light, dense and cloudy cheddar orange with a nose of coriander, bready orange peel, and a hint of banana. Flavor is a citrusy rush of orange followed immediately by bready coriander and lemon. Slight pineapple in the finish. Mouthfeel is too avereage to be appreciated. Not bad, but not the best I’ve had.

Jul 20, 2009 Updated: Jul 21, 2009750 ml. bottle. Batch 1-2009. Pours a huge white over a golden (SRM 10) cloudy body.....nose of ginger, pineapple, banana, apple...taste initially is ginger, then pineapple, caramel, lemon, bit of clove at the very end, although it seems sweet because of the spices it finishes medium dry....mouth feel is medium as is carbonation. A very complex brew that has so many phenolics and added spices it is hard to get them all, and unfortunately comes dangerously close to becoming a soda.
