Mar 22, 2009 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, GregClow, Jerc, and Garthicus, at Blankboy’s, courtesy of either Harry or Paul (I forgot to write down who brought what - thanks for sharing guys!). Dark yellow, small white head. Sweet, grainy aroma. Great taste - really neat fresh grain, some alcohol, dry and yeasty. Good stuff.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle thanks to kegbear!
Transparent orange-gold, small white head that’s gone quickly. Grainy, syrupy nose, overriding the yeasty peach present. Flavor is a bit better, very dry, peachy, some dusty alcohol and grain. Thin mouth, decently bitter finish. Mellow beer, very drinkable and with some nice elements, but it never becomes something special.

Mar 17, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. The aroma has a bready malt backbone with sweet honey, floral, yeast, and light citrus mixed in. The flavor is honey wheat bread, fruity, herbs and spices, slight citrus, and a slight alcohol presence. This one kind of grew on me with each drink. I could enjoy this on the porch with an apple, but I would probably leave the soft cheese for someone else.

Mar 14, 2009 Hazy orange pour. One finger head.
Really not much to the aroma.Tastes of bread crust , toffee and a bit of citrus with a dryish finish.
Worth a try but I won’t repeat on this one.

Mar 14, 2009 Bottle: Pours an effervescent orange with good clarity and a dense off white head. Some dryish bread rust like malt in the aroma- some subtle caramel sweetness and herbal hop notes. Chalky Belgian phenols are there as well. Creamy/silky texture. The flavor starts with dry bready notes- some overripe peach and notes of caramel are followed by lots of peppery/herbal spiciness from both hops and dry phenolics. Notes of white peppery at the back. Soft and subtle- easy drinking. Well done.

Mar 13, 2009 Pours a milky caramel color with a 1 finger creamy white head that has great retention and leaves a few specks of lacing. Aroma is caramel, toast, floral hops, honey, sweet grass, some musty and earthy notes. Flavor is caramel, crusty white bread, grass, basement mustiness, a hint of toffee, sort of spicy (yeast?) notes, floral sweetness and some dried citrus peels. Finish is wet limestone, toasted grain, toffee and a little mossy funk. Palate is medium thin, watery and slightly acidic with a fairly neutral finish. A pleasant but not overly interesting ale that I believe would pair extremely well with most food.
