Orlando, Fl. - Knightly Spirits, 500 ml bottle. Slighlty murky, dark peach colored pour with an extremely frothy white head. Aroma of yeast, baked bread, dried apricots Flavor has some raw cookie dough flavor to it, some yeast, a hint of citrus and a faint trace of molasses. Hoping for a bit more bitterness. Tastes a bit stronger than 6.5. Sticky mouthfeel, a bit cluttered. Overall, average.

Bottle at chris_o’s "have you ever seen a wolf smile? teabag it." Alround rating: Very yeasty, fruity and slightly tart richer biscuity pale malts, alright but far too yeasty.

Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours hazy, pale, brown with a nice, creamy, white head. Aroma is malty, light oranges and yeast. High carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is dry, some oranges and lots of hops. Very close to getting a bit sour, but still okay.

Bottle but different label, same beer same brewery. A cloudy light orange pour with a small foam head, some lacing. A yeast rye quality with an earthiness about it. Very mild on the pallet but refreshing. In the tasting some thought it was too mild and watery but I felt it was the easy drinking malt quality that made it palatable. Good Strong Ale but probably not strong enough.

Poured a light hazed orange with a big head that took awhile to pour. Aroma of pancake syrup and yeast. Flavor is really one dimensional over the top caramel, finishing long and sweet.

Pours a murky orange. Stable off-white head and moderate lacing. Nose is of pine needles and earth. Taste brings out the pine needles again, along with orange peel. Mouthfeel starts out light and fizzy, but soon settles down to a more solid feel. Crisp. Aftertaste is decent, with a good bit of bitterness.
