Dec 2, 2005 Vinous, hoppy nose - nice. Hazy deep gold color, lacy head. Quick sweet malt with hints of white grape and spice. Hoppy end. Thinner than expected, but overall decent. Not as Christmasy as one would want though...

Nov 24, 2005 Bottle shared by Geno5. Cloudy orange color with a mediuml off white head. Fruity, tart aroma with some hay and hops that come together to remind me of vomit a little bit. Flavor was better than the aroma I thought. Still a bit fruity and hoppy with some grassiness. Kind of mild flavored for a Christmas beer.

Nov 12, 2005 On tap. Amber colour. Unclear. Nice lace head. Sour unpleasant aroma. Very hoppy flavour, not what you may expect. But overall a different christmas beer.

Oct 24, 2005 Orange color, medium haed leaving laces. Lively carbonation. Yeast and cooky dough nose - also some traces of hops. Peppery and hoppy first, mellows down then with a lots of nice malt and yeast. Finishes spicey again. Nice.

Oct 16, 2005 Bottle. This brew was supposed to have been brought by a guest to a Winter beer tasting I hosted this past Winter, but said person failed to show. Another friend brought it over last night, and I didn’t recognize it at first. Sour, highly carbonated aroma. My friend’s daughter thought it smelled like wet feet. She me have been on to something, but in a good way. Beautiful orange-red cloudy body with particalia. Lasting, small, off-white head. Not highly carbonated as I thought it would be. Great session quality. While tasting, I referred to this as the Belgian Fuller ESB. Has some mild bitter hops to go with the smooth malt profile. Hides the alcohol. Simply wonderful.

Aug 26, 2005 pours a Slightly cloudy amber orange color. Fairly intense grassy and citrusy aromas. Flavor is the same with a lingering bitterness to it. I didn’t enjoy this beer to much. The woodsy/grassy aroma and flavor was to much for me at that point in the day!
