bottle-pours hazy orange with a foamy soapy white head. grainy nose, but with a touch of funk on these grains. definately a sour mash here! grains of paradise, lite grape notes, lite toasted malts. definately has a thing all its own on the nose. Its no true Biere de garde, but for an american sample, pretty respectable. flavors show the sour grains and lite toasted character here. body is medium with soft carbonation. good and definately one of the best if not the best american version of this style!

Aug 28, 2008 hazy rich orange-gold/ pale brown-copper with a wispy white head and foamy drippy lacing. it smells quite sweet and malty... spicy, a bit of mustiness, perfumey, lemon, golden raisins and some savory yeast. lots of fruit in the flavor... apples, orange, white grape and pears with astringent yeast and near sweet maltiness. dry spicy finish with a bunch of herbal floral hops. body is medium with a rich texture, mild bitterness and creamy soft carbonation...

Aug 25, 2008 Pours crystal clear gold with bright white head. The aroma is sweet up front with a mix of sweet malts, candi sugar and what seems like honey. I also get sort of a wheat note followed by some burnt molasses on a big draw. The taste is malty sweet followed by a mixture of candi sugar and a bit of honey. It transitions from the beginning to end with a pleasing smoothness. At the finish I get a faint tartness rounding things out and forcing you to take another sip and begin the journey again.

Aug 24, 2008 75cl bottle from Charles Street Liquors (Boston). Pours a hazy dark golden with one finger white head. Nice retention and lacing. Aroma is white grapes, bready and yeasty. Flavor is somewhat malty, somewhat sweet, somewhat smoky, yeast, biscuit, ripe fruit. Generally light body with a slightly hoppy finish.

Aug 22, 2008 This beer pours a hazy golden color with a creamy white head and a haze in the beer. The aroma smells like bread, white meat, yeast, and some breadiness. Flavor is biscuity with some smoke. The finish is slightly bitter with some smoke. A good example of the style.
