Hazy gold color with a medium head. Kind of a musty apple aroma. The taste is malty with a good hit of wood. Quite dry, yet a tad sour. Strangely good.

Bottle courtesy of Slikwily,this was drank in your honor.Hazy amber brew and at first I thought this had gone bad.I came back to it later and discovered a whole different brew.It started off a little sour and musty.The next tasting brought out a soft fruitiness and flavor of light oak.Very nice lingering taste on the palate.

Deep, golden body with a slight haze. Frothy white head with nice legs. Big honey notes in the nose and flavor. Lightly fruity as well. Nice, mature beer with a woody middle and long, sweet finish. Mouthfeel is like warm syrup. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to try this unique beer at a ridiculously late hour during the RateBeer tasting at GABF 2004.

12 oz bottle-HUGE thanks go out to belgianhomebrew on this one. This was a great brew. pours a cloudy light apricot hue with minimal white head around the glass edge. Fantastic aroma of banana, clove, apricots, ginger and corriander. Just and awesome aroma. great flavors up fromt of corriander, clove, belgian candy sugar, banana but the middle was somewhat cardboardy, especially cold. As it warmed, this became less apparent. Nice mouthfeal-spritzy and lively. Definatlye one people should go seek out!

Pours an orange color that’s cloudy with a small head that laces adequately. Aroma is very alcoholic and sweet like candy, pixi-sticks and sour apple fundip. Also some spicy/earthy aromas in there as well. Flavor is not as sweet as the aroma let on. Still sweet but is nicely balanced by a slight bitterness. Body is medium and finished quickly.

This brew pours with an orange-amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of candy sugar, a touch of fruit and a little spice. The flavoe is sweet and fruity with a touch of malt, some candy sugar and a little bitterness. Not a bad brew. Meidum to full bodied and smooth.
