Mar 2, 2008 carbinated light wheat head that disappears as fast as it appears. A light orange/mahogany color. Slightly spicey oranges with a herbal and malty finish. A bit on the thin side.

Feb 29, 2008 Pint at Old Chicago in Minnetonka. Slightly hazed amber brown with small head and lace. The aroma is yeast, malt, slightly floral. The flavor is standard brown ale with a touch sour and slight hops. The palate is thin and fizzy. Not offensive.

Jan 22, 2008 (bottle) Pours cloudy brown with an off-white head. Sour aroma with some yeast present as well, not too bad. The taste was a different story. It began with some sourness that yielded to a finish of what I can only describe as stale grain, which was rather unpleasant. Medium mouthfeel, not too good at all.

Jan 18, 2008 [Bottle] Pours orange-amber with a cream head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with yeast and malt present--not bad. Taste is also spicy with malt more present and something really unpleasant that I cannot figure out. Medium-thin mouthfeel. Aside from the aroma I really didn’t care for this.

Jan 17, 2008 Pours a fairly clear reddish amber with an off white head. Light aroma of banana, yeast, clove, something I’m not too fond of as well. Decent flavor slightly thin body. Disappointing.

Jan 17, 2008 Copper color with a medium head. Aroma is a little like cotton candy. Interesting flavor of sourdough. Very yeasty and earthy. Not bitter at all.

Jan 15, 2008 on the label: "A level and plum Belgian-style ale." Don’t get it. Apparently, the name comes from one of Lucan’s most popular exports...frame straighteners, I’d guess?
Poured into a Delirium Tremens tulip. Dark reddish hue, under a small white ring of foam, soon gone.
Sweet aromatics, yep, plums primarily, plenty of dark fruits, berries, ripeness, plump and bright. Yeast and malt singing away. Nice.
Taste: sweet, then tart for a second. Dark fruits maintain dominance in flavor, it’s tasty, but bodiless, and drifts away too quickly. Good drinkability, but loses points for seeming watery and thin.
I think they’re on to something, but it needs some work, something to give it depth and make it memorable.
It’s good, but just evaporates from mouth and memory much too quickly.
