Apr 27, 2008 Poured from 33cl bottle a hazy blonde with a medium sized white foam head. Nose is lightly tart and sour with hints of yeast, citrus and bread. The flavors are very soft and light checking in with some fruit (raisin, apricot, plum) together with a mildly sweet bready caramel, and a mix of citrus and honey. There is also some wheaty tartness, yeast, and mild grassy flavors. The palate is less spicy than most abbey style ales, with a soft creaminess instead. This is a nice beer, easy to drink, but I had my hopes for more spice and stronger flavors. I would drink this one again but only if I could find it at a cheaper price than $4 a bottle.

Apr 27, 2008 (750 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/scarborou target=blank>Oak Hill Beverage) Pours somewhat cloudy gold/bronze with two fingers of white head. Aroma of citrus/lemon, pepper, honey and yeast. Mouthfeel quite soft and light, also lightly syrupy and sticky. Lots of dabs of lacing. Flavor is sweetish and fruit and honey-like but countered with a sour yeastiness. A light pleasant pepperiness overlays. A bit citrusy as well. A nice biere de garde, so I’m not sure why the scores are so low. I enjoyed it but couldn’t quite get through the whole bottle.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle, pours a fairly clear gold color, with medium to light malts. Nice light fruity notes, slight spice and yeast. A decent lighter brew, no hops to speak of, I can’t imagine aging this one would do much to it, just make it more mild I imagine.

Mar 2, 2008 Bottle @ Kolding Ølmesse.
Pours a hazy yellow golden. Good frothy white head. Aroma is lightly tart, subdued hops and lots of spices. Fine mouthfeel that is light and round - rather creamy. Balanced flavour, lightly tart spiciness. Some oranges as well - some weak hops. Lovely balance.
