BückDich (4559), Boise, Idaho, USA May 13, 2008 Bottle: Fairly clear gold color, nice white head and a little lacing. The nose is lightly skunky with a bit of yeast, light snappy hops and pilsner malt. The yeast is very light, almost like they used pacman yeast, comes across like a spicy pilsner. The flavor is estery though with bright acidity and alcohol notes. Good balanced body, a bit sharp in the mouthfeel. Nice toastiness, brash esters and alcohol. Like good bread with bad crust.
Rciesla (871), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2008 Growler fill from New Beer. Etoh predominates this beer. Taste is spices with strong etoh coming through strong in the taste. A strong sweet candi malt with honey and dry pilsner malt. Fruit cantelope peach come across but a bit astringent due to the strong alcohol presence. not for me. JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Sep 21, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Pale golden lightly hazy with a thick white head. Aroma is lightly spicy but with a distinct fruity apple/peach aroma as well. The flavour is lightly fruity with a honeyish sweetness and a bit of herbal character on the back. It’s way too sweet but the malts are fairly authentic. Lightly spicy. It’s okay. garrison (433), Cin. city, Ohio, USA Sep 18, 2008 From a bottle purchased for me by my girlfriend Nancy at "Jungle Jim’s World Market" in Fairfield, Ohio - This one poured a dark golden liquid with a tall , just off-white head of foam and a complex, ft sweet aroma ( Tastewise, this is a complex-but-light bodiedbtew from Rogue, ucusty (1213), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Sep 4, 2008 Gold pour with a slight haze..

Pours golden with great carbonation, hazy, big white head. Aroma is spice, orange, yeast. Flavor is similar, with fruity flavors from yeast--apple, peach, raisins, and candi sugar all throughout, tangy finish.
