Jan 17, 2007 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Slightly hazy orange pour with a thick but fizzy white head. Aroma sweet and loaded with yeast and spices. Some alcohol and wheat present as well. Taste begins very sweet and malty with a very spicy and tangy middle with a slightly grainy finish. Tons of alcohol burn in the finish. I’m shocked that it’s only 6.8%. Tasted heavier than that.

Jan 15, 2007 sampled at Spuyten Duyvil. Hazy orange in appearance. Alot of malt, spices, yeast in the aroma. Taste is sweet malts, some candi sugar, spicy, with a sweet spicy finish. Seemed like this should have been more dry.

Per the tag around the sixtel neck, this is 7.5% abv.
Appears a hazy, glow of orange with a 3 finger, creamy white cap that slowly fades away into a generous film that never leaves. Tons of lacing is ringed like sticky sea foam around the glass.
A few small spice particles rest in the bottom of the glass.
Smell is of the signature earth-noted Chouffe yeast, along with some notes of honey, underripened bananas, bubblegum, candi sugar, apples, spice, and flowers with a dash of cinnamon. I’m not getting any of the thyme aromas that was added during the brewing of this treat. In fact, it reminds me very much of La Chouffe, itself.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas perhaps toned down a little bit with a yeasty dryness coming through nicely.
Mouthfeel is carbonated lightly, yeasty, medium bodied, and fruity with bitterness catching the swallow via the yeast, spices, and hops.
A well done brew.

Jan 5, 2007 Thanks to weeare138 for bringing this over. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aroams of yeast, candi sugar, fruity, and some spices. Tastes follow the same.
