Opened very aggressive, with the foam running out of the bottle right out of the refrigerator. Bright gold, hazy, big head. Nose is funky, citrusy, lemony, hoppy. Taste is the same with heavy carbonation and a light body. Easy to drink and delicious. AlabastorJones (774), San Francisco, California, USA

Picked this one up for $11.99. as soon as i popped the cap this head began to flow from the top of the bottle. This continued for about 5 minutes. First pour was similar. Pours a hazy golden color with tons of head. Very interesting aroma, its sweet and funky. Taste carries the same funk, but also sweet and spicy. Some tart bitter flavor in the aftertaste. It is actually very delicious. jkwalking05 (1501), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 8, 2009 Bottle - Hmm...drank this one a little warm, so I’ll definitely have to re-rate. It’s a big gusher right when we open the bottle, so that’s probably the first bad sign. Pours yellow with a massive white head. The nose is great--it almost smells lke a gueuze, with dry citrus, lemongrass, and yeast. The taste just seemed to fall apart in its warmed-up state. The oak was really harsh, it was really boozy, and the citrus was way sour. There was no balance at all. The carb was messing with me too, and it just left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. Gonna have to get my hands on another bottle, because I’ve read a lot of good about this beer.
