Hazy red color, small steady off-white head. A bit hoppy, fruity, sugary and yeasty aroma. Fruity - Belgian yeasty flavor. Peach, some hops. Finishes to sweetness then ... fades away.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty dark beige color ale with a super large off-white foamy head with great retention and some pretty good lacing. Aroma of light bitter citrus notes with some light funky ester. Taste is also a unique mix between some huge bready malt with hints of funky ester and light citrus bitter hops. Body is full with limited filtration and great carbonation. Not a typical APA per say but more of a mix between a light funky Belgian ale with some American hops. I am not sure I would have this very often at this price point it but very interesting nonetheless. Miksu (2220), Jyväskylä, Finland

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Bottle ( 750ml ). Shared by gregclow with me, blankboy, garthicus, jerc and mabel. Gusher!! BIG gusher. When it settled down, poured a cloudy amber-ruby with a large foamy/frothy beige head and visible flaky floaties. Aroma of sharp, dry yeast, mild alcohol, generic fruity sweetness and some balancing herbal/citrus zest bitterness. The taste followed, really juicy and balanced, if spicy. Chewy mouthfeel but soft and light, with a longish grassy/citrus linger. I really liked it. Yves (1009), Beerse, Belgium
