On draught at Lucky Baldwin’s in Pasadena. Medium to dark brown with a nice head. It is spicy and slightly sweet with an earthy character. A nice sweetness balances the spices. Quite good.

Dark red/brown pour. Decent brown head with just ok retention. Sweet on the nose with a very sour fruit (lemon, grapefruit, orange) aftertaste. A bit spicy from flavors nutmug and cinnamon, which linger on the tongue.

This beer poured a rich reddish brown w/ orange highlights and ok head w/ slight lacing. Bananas and hazelnuts dominated the nose, while soury fermented fruit, grapefruit, and banana sweetness appeared in the mouth. I found this beer to be dry on the palate and smooth, it coats the mouth.

Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest. Medium orange color. Small sized white head. Aroma is fruity, spicy and sweet. A medium bodied Bier De Garde. Malts are fruity and sweet, orange, cherries and spicy. A slight hint of some earthy qualities, and some other spices as well. Very sweet, but not cloying. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
