freed from the bottle, this is an attractive ale, lovely orange hue, gushing carbonation, lush, large head, fluffy white.
Aroma, wondrous spice, tantalizing citric flavor, outsized yeast...seems the very picture of the biere de garde style. quite arousing.
Taste: plays easily on the palate, smooth and tasty, yum...big citric fruit, substantial spice...all in a very nice example of the style. Big mouthfeel, extremely drinkable, medium bodied, with a long, fruity, lemony, spicy finish.
I can easily recommend this one, but it doesn’t unseat any of the giants of the style.

Jan 1, 2009 In the 750 mL bottle from Beertopia. Pours a hazy rich golden color with a medium ivory head. The aroma is perfume honey and fruit. The taste is extremely sweet with lots of cane sugar and honey. A mild tartness and hidden bitterness finished the beer. Overall it is just too much sweetness.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours a thick gold with small head. Big yeasty nose with fruit. Flavor is thick with malt and yeast that just coats the mouth, with a touch of pineapple that climbs out towards the end. Nice creamy texture.
