bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 13, 2005 (750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a moderate white head. Aroma of butterscotch, musitness, and light citrus. Flavor of spicy yeast, citrus, and malt. CampbellWilson (533), Scotland Oct 10, 2005 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Cloudy golden orange with rocky off white head. Good aroma of orangey hop, spice, honey, vanilla. Creamy mouthfel with lingering hop finish, alcohol warmth. Very good indeed. Choos (504), Taylors Hill, Australia Sep 15, 2005 Aroma: candy, small bit of bailing wire and a touch of apricot. Appearance: poures golden/amber with a big lasting head just off white and great lacing. With the yeast it is just hazy. Flavour: sweet apricot, floral notes and metallic hops. Palate: medium full mouthfeel finishes spiritious and leaves a metalic hop aftertaste. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA Sep 6, 2005 Pours hazy orangish-amber with a large rocky head that sticks around for a while. When it finally recedes it leaves a frothy mesa in the middle of the glass and near-solid lacing on the sides. Very spicy and citrusy aroma—oranges, fresh bread, and coriander dominate. And I swear there’s some brine in there somewhere. Flavor of bread and phenols. Mediciney, acidic, and lip-puckering. There’s a slight hop finish, but that’s somehow pre-overpowered by the first flavors. It had a wonderful appearance and aroma, but the flavor fell quite a bit short of my thusly formed expectations.
bask (305), Leuven, Belgium Aug 29, 2005 Cloudy amber colour, with a thin head. Aroma of citrus, flowers, raisins, yeast and esters. The flavour has acidic notes, and has a fine balance between bitterness and sweetness. Strong hoppy finish. Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA Aug 28, 2005 Pours with a golden orange body topped by a thin head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet with a touch of candy sugar, a touch of skunkiness, a little hops and a touch of alcohol esters in the nose. Medium bodied, dry and smooth. Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 28, 2005 Sweet floral aroma. Milky amber color with a beautiful fluffy white head. Candy sugar sweetness int he fore followed by some floral flavors and malt. Finishes very suddenly and leaves a lip smacking fruity malt aftertase. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia Aug 28, 2005 6 June 2005 -(Enich Anders B&B) - Complex sweet malt and complex hoppiness, with vinuos (celery) aromas. Cloudy light brown colour, great head and lacing. Spiritous malt, some nutty and big hop complex flavours. Big tangy aftertaste with some lingering back of the throat aftertatse, but perhaps a bit too much.
