Jul 22, 2007 in the bottle at beertopia shelton brothers sample night. pours a rich gold with a thin white head. there’s a touch of ethanol to the nose, but definitely a hefe-like yeasty aroma. a smoothly malty beer but still seems very light. has a great mouth with a really good pepper bite to the tongue, perhaps due to the alcohol heat. A pleasant citrus backwash of grapefuit completes the flavor.

Jul 18, 2007 Very good. Sort of a cross between a golden tripel and a Belgian dark ale. Lots of good hop flavor and yeast but also green apple malt.

Jul 12, 2007 Bottle Cafe Le Paix, Poperinge, Belgium 27-06-07. This was described as a dryish and audaciously hoppy pale ale, which was pretty good although nowhere near as hoppy as stablemate XX Bitter. Still good hops on nose and some yeast with hops coming through in the mouth as well. A tidy bitterness that seemed to kick in again 10-20 seconds after the first hoppy flurry, this was one of the main interesting charactersitics of this beer. A very nice beer indeed.

Jul 10, 2007 Tap at Toronado. Pours with a hazy copper color. Aromas are quite tart with apple and some yeast, kind of like apple pie. Flavors again more on the tart side, more apple, a bit of yeast and dough. Quite a robust body with alcohol only lingering in the background. Very nice.

Jul 6, 2007 Appears a hazy, medium toned gold with a fluffy, white, 2 finger head of foam that fades to a gentle cap. Scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of mildly tart apple, fresh grain, subtle oak, vanilla, fresh dough, lemongrass, and citrus.
Taste is of the aromas with notes of apple pie and a touch of pair.
Mouthfeel is ligt-medium bodied with a light sweetness up front and hints of tartness and bitters rounding it out. There is a light grassiness detected but it is subtle and hardly detracts from the overall enjoyability.
