Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with lots of tiny carbonation and large yellow/white foaming head that laces the glass. Solid citrus and spice aroma that is noticable before the first pour. Light grapefruit, coriander spice flavor that mixes well. Palate is smooth and soft with light alcohol background. Clean finish with just a hint of mixed flavor that keeps me coming back for more. Final pour offers lots of floaties and a more earthy, yeast blended flavor. Also, was that a touch of vanilla wafer I tasted in there?

Pours amber, unfiltered appearance (good) with a huge, fluffy white head. Honey, currant, and straw aromas with no noticeable hop bouquet. A little bit sweet and sour: honey sweet up front followed by a grain husk astringency; aged hop flavor similar to Orval. Lingering honey sweetness as the beer warms. Medium body with a long clean hoppy finish.
Highly drinkable, which could be dangerous given the alcohol content. Overall, a very good beer that nails the style with ease.

Nov 27, 2008 Looks a little like a cloudy lager with bigger bubbles. Tastes like caramel apples and spices. Lightly hopped. Nice, unique beer.

Nov 21, 2008 750 ml bottle. Golden color, explansive white head. Spicy coriander aroma. Spicy flavor as well, with some alcohol and a malty finish. Medium body, high carbonation. Prickly mouthfeel. The carbonation is too heavy, but the flavor is nice.
