Mar 20, 2009 750 ml bottle. Hazy olive orange that puffs up a big white head when roused. Nose is dough, orange, pineapple and creamy mango. Medium body; resiny, syrupy then chalky. Taste is overripe peach, orange peel, toffee, bitter greens and grapefruit pith. An odd flavor profile that doesn’t quite work for me. An intriguing brew nonetheless.

Mar 13, 2009 750ml bottle, with another thanks to Molenbrouwer! Pours a hazy amber with a large foamy off-white head, excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is spice, citrus, fruit rind/peel, light biscuit/bread and caramel as well. Flavor is similar with a very nice blend of everything coming together, along with a slight lingering spicy hops bite. Definitely some alcohol warmth, but works well with everything else going on. Nicely done, thanks again for the chance to try this Menno!

Mar 9, 2009 Good yellow, dense head over chestnut coloured beer; end of bottle solid yeast. Ureum, dust and - oh, wonder - Amarillo hops, lytchee: all the classic characteristics. Bitter, with very hoppy-frutiy esters, banana, lytchee, rosewater, and quite some sweetness from the malt. Well-bodied. Alcohol is discreet for its 9+% ABV. Very American indeed. And good.

Mar 4, 2009 Pours a dark orangey yellow with a 2 finger white head. Left a nice ring around my glass.Aroma of citrus hops and some fruit. Nice balance of hops with a light sweetness. Reminds of some west coast IPA’s.

Mar 1, 2009 A hazy dark yellow colored beer, with a thick foamy off-white head. It leaves a beautiful laze on the glass. The aroma of hops, fruits and sweet malt. The taste of bitter hops, Americans, with fruits like citrus, lychee and peache. Some malts with some sweet. The aftertaste is long bitter and dry. It stays for awhile.

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to Marsiblursi. Orange colour with an off-white head. Sweet fruit, marzipan, light hoppiness, caramel, cream, cheese, spices, a bit of alcohol. A bit strange. Too old bottle?
