.33L Bottl via sloth. Pours a translucent hazy orangish amber with an active white fluffy active head. Head slowly selttles and transforms itself into an oily off white clingy head in the tulip glass. Nose is of yeast and muted spices. Afterbit is initialy stronger than body but see saws as beer warms in glass to this humid overcast day. Body mimics the nose in its yeasty and muted spice fashion but also imparts a sweet perpperyness that is pleasing to the tounge. Muted corriander and orange peel are coated in malt. Alcohol is seemingly unreported in thi easily quaffable beer. (it hit me 20 minutes later) Lacing is swoopy. Spots of trup and yeast on the bottom of tulip. Pepperyness becomes a skoash more pronounced as glass warms. A nice beer that I probably would not have tried if sloth had not thrown it at me when he visited. Thanks Bertly! You Rock!

Oct 29, 2008 Crazy stupid gusher - complete soda-syphon. Rating based on the small sample that didn’t end up on the work-surface, floor, or clothes. Murky orange, head the size of a kitchen. I prefer my beers to look like they’re in a glass. Sweet fruity aroma - some plastic and lipstick, but also plenty of christmassy spices. Fairly yeasty too. Soft palate. Huge bitter kick, loads of yeast, but a fair bit of alcohol too. Esters try to cover that too, but fail, and come over as a little one-dimensional. Yeast and hops get pepperier in the mouth with each sip, and end up pretty savoury, with a long dry bitter finish. Almost mustard or horseradishy. Fairly competent belgian ale, but they really need to work out that bottle-conditioning causes CO2 to be produced. I’m surprised they aren’t aware of that by now.

Apperance: Brownish orange with a huuuge head.
Aroma: Spices, Cider, Fruit (apples primarly), Belgian yeast.
Flavor: Apples, Sugar, Apricot, Honey, Belgian yeast.
Palate: A bit on the sweeter side at first but there’s definitely some bitterness at the end. Plenty of carbonation too. Warming.
Another good beer from the brewery that doesn’t seem to know how to make bad beer :) Recommended!

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours slightly hazy gold with a fluffy off-white head which leaves some slight lacing on the glass. Flowery spicy nose, honey, candi sugar, all very rich and lovely. Sweet in flavor, toasted malt, some fruitiness from the yeast ending with spicy, earthy hops. Lush and dry in the mouth. Very good.

Oct 2, 2008 We have a gusher!! Bottle pours cloudy golden color with a three finger white head. The head lasted throughout the drink and laced the glass. Aroma is mainly yeast and sweet sugar. Has a medium body with a lot of carbonation. Taste is mainly sweet sugar, yeast, and alcohol. Overall this is not a very complex brew, but is smooth and tasty all the same.
