Feb 17, 2009 12 fl. oz. bottle shared by Lubiere (merci!), served cool in a goblet. JA11/09.
App.: Hazy deep golden with orange hues and minimal white rim.
Aroma: Very sweet, lots of fruit – apples, pears, peaches, floral honey, a lot of yeast and bread dough, some citrus and a little funk, light toffee.
Palate: Medium-ish body, moderately soft effervescence.
Flav.: More citrus than the nose, bordering on Tripel, some minerals, yeast, honey, somewhat less fruity than the nose, coriander, slightly peppery; somewhat sweet, minimal bitterness, a little alcohol.
A solid Belgian Ale.

Dec 31, 2008 Aroma of apple, hay, dust, yeast, spice, maybe some grassy sweetness. Hazy dark orange with a thin white ring around the edges of my tulip. Green apple, spice, yeast, biscuit sweetness, a little grassy lemon pepper bitterness in the finish. A touch of alcohol comes through. Pretty enjoyable, I wonder how old it is?

Dec 17, 2008 12oz bottle. Yeast heavy aroma. Apple skin and cider, honeyed malt, cinnamon. Slightly grassy, earthy and herbal. Pours a thick, hazy dark gold with a resilient white head. Flavor is dominated by loads of yeasty esters. Dried, earthy malt. White pepper. Cut grass and hay. Simple, crisp and refreshing. Overbearing and mouthfilling carbonation. Finishes grainy and dry with a touch of banana yeast esters. Thanks John!

Oct 22, 2008 Thanks mcbackus! I got the bottom of the bottle, so it was a super-cloudy gold color with some brown chunks. Mmmm... The smell was of tart western apples and vanilla cookies with a slight alcohol kick. The flavors are similar. Vanilla cookies and apples and just a bit of sour. Overall, it wasn’t that pretty at the bottom of the bottle, but it tasted good.
