Mar 28, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2007Hazy orange and practically headless, this product smells of sour generic fermentation with the grassy touch of saaz and a pinch of spices. Taste is much better with a hoppy-sweet medicinal quality that stings the back of my tongue. $3/12oz

Mar 24, 2007 Bottle. Golden pour with a thin, oily white head. Subtle aroma - spices, light malt, citrus zest, coriander, slightly minty almost. Clean flavor, but lacking in the finish. Slightly sour, with some bready/yeasty notes. I’d like to get some more hops inthe flavor and aroma. Smooth and subtle and quite drinkable, but not hugely remarkable.

Mar 21, 2007 From Immy via trade. Thank you! Pour was a cloudy light copper with a one finger white head that quickly diminished into a galaxy swirl that sat for a bit on top of the brew. A little lacing initially, nothing substantial. The aroma was sweet citrus, hops and some dirt or grass. The flavor was fun. A swirl of sweet malt, spices like pepper and coriander, piney hops and some smoke. The mouthfeel was pleasing. Nice smooth carbonation, a succinct dry finish and a good bit of warming alcohol. Thanks again!

Mar 14, 2007 Another excellent Belgian-style offering from Greg Hall and Goose Island. Pours a deep golden, with the Saaz hops evident in the nose. Nicely balanced, with the malt up front and a dry, crisp finish. Some might argue that it’s too hoppy for style, but my take is that it’s a stateside interpretation of a classic, and should be appreciated as such.
A lovely drop, indeed.

Mar 14, 2007 Draft. I didn’t like this one as much as the Matilda. I don’t quite remember why. It was good/average for the style, and the flavors were enjoyable.

Mar 14, 2007 Enjoyed this more than the Matilda actually. More hops (citrus) than I would have expected. Alcohol not present much. Pretty normal flavors for the style.

Mar 11, 2007 Aroma is hoppy and a tinge of citrus and grass. Kind of jumbled. The flavor too is jumbled. It tastes of hops and slight citrus with a grassy finish. The flavor profile is sharp and a bit unpleasant.

Mar 10, 2007 Surprisingly dry- but I guess the label should have told me that. Alcohol well hidden and pleasent- kept a nice lace in the glass. Thanks Ohiodad!!!
