12oz bottle, Pour was amber-golden with small white head. Nose was spice, peper, and citrus. On the taste, banana comes out in the nose?, and there is very little % on this. Nice.

Golden. Aroma of spice and fruit. Flavor is less intense, and I’m glad for it. Sweet and spice. I was a little afraid before I took a sip, and I am suprised that it’s better than I thought it would be.

12oz bottle thanks to heemer77. Almost clear yet somewhat hazy golden with medium, foamy white head. Aroma is hops, spice, a little red apple and bread as well. Spice and yeast are real upfront in the flavor with alc, a little green apple, wheat and noble hops, off-dry. Medium and creamy body. Not half bad but the alc is a little too much as well as the sweetness and spices.

Clear, golden amber appearance with an average size head and very good lacing. Yeasty aroma, spicy, sweet malts, fruity. Moderately hopped taste with a lot of residual sweetness and threaded with fruity esters and spices. Smooth, medium-bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a herbal finish that is a little drier than at the start.

Bottle sample at the Blacklick Wine and Spirits tasting on 1/8/09. Pours cloudy copper with a medium white head. Citrus hop aroma with some malt and yeast. Flavor is a yeast explosion with some fruit and malt and a crisp finish.

From Bottle. Pours a transparent golden straw color with a nice even white, lasting head. Aroma of candied pineapple, banana, and creamy peach. Some raw bread dough aromas with cardamin seed also compliment the fruity arrangement. Crisp, tingling mouthfeel dancing with plenty of carbonation. At first, some dry sbutle lemon flacors come out, but are followed by a white grape rind entourage. Final smack of manchego cheese. Not overly complex, but nice and balanced with no unpleasant surprises. Thanks, Jay!
