blipp (683), Grand Island, New York, USA Apr 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Ripe fruit in the aroma, orange, peach, apricot and maybe even raspberry, as well as yeast. Medium body, very smooth. Flavor is tart and sweet, with orange, apricot, and floral hops, followed by a pleasantly bitter finish. Very well balanced and easy to drink. This is something I could drink every day.
rugbydude05 (158), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours a mildly hazy golden color, nice pleasant malty aroma that was kind of doughy. Taste was rather spicy with a bitter aftertaste. Nice smooth palate, overall not a bad option. Mitch_Wayne (90), Kokkola, Finland Aug 20, 2008 Nicely spicy aroma and a very interesting mouthfeel, reminds a bit of orval despite not being as good. The foamy head looks gorgeous. This is not one of my favorites but still a very interesting beer with the yeast and hops bringing a lot of originality to this brew. fidel (120), Livermore, California, USA Aug 18, 2008 Hazy golden yellow, smooth, citrus, spice, yeast, banana, slight hops, with a dry finish. texasbartender (151), Sugarland, Texas, USA Aug 17, 2008 yummy. The beer pours a hazy goldn yellow with a thick head and a great nose. i get orange and yeast and spice off the nose. the mouth feel is very lively with a great taste of orange yeast banana and spice. Chrism86 (43), Melbourne, Australia Aug 16, 2008 Delivers a hazy golden orange body with a brilliant three fingers of foam that is extremely compact (very meringue-like) Nose is dominated by orange and spice with some white muscat notes also prevailing. Palate is medium bodied but seems quite full, almost creamy. Banana and orange fruit notes are dominant with substantial spice, namely anise. There is also a hint of white pepper present that compliments the spice in adding to a slightly dry, earthy finish.
