Nov 5, 2009 Light and tasty, nice mild sweetness. Spiciness is subtle ginger, black pepper and hoppiness. Spice makes this one happen. a little sourness, a tiny bit of earthiness

Oct 24, 2009 Pours a cloudy dark golden orange color with ripe golden banana hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger foamy white head that quickly fades into a thin lasting ring. No lacing
Spicy earthy aroma with some peppery zest and lots of crisp light fruit notes. Hints of cherry, strawberry and cream and other estery light fruit notes. Some corriander, citrus grapefruit, bready yeast and slight alcohol.
Crisp medium body with a spicy peppery zest up front as well as some full bready yeast character. Crisp light fruit notes and a very prominent citrus presence, mostly orange and grapefruit. Also, there is some subtle lemon peel as well as some strawberry, peaches and cream. Slightly earthy with a bit of tart bretty funk. Their is a large emphasis on the grapefruit tartness and earthy funk. The more I drink the more it tastes like a beer version of grapefruit juice, which is very unpleasant. Slight alcohol warmth in the finish but overall the alcohol is decently masked. Dry tart grapefruit finish.

Oct 16, 2009 Updated: Oct 24, 2009Golden pour with a small white head. Aroma is citrus, hay, some spice. Flavor is light, creamy, lemon zest and orange peel with some more of that spicy hay in the aroma. Satisfying and thirst quenching.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle pours gold with a thin white head. Aroma is faint, but shows notes of banana, ginger, and grains of paradise. Flavor is sweet malt, apple, pear, and trace amount of black pepper. Good integration, but somehow lacks interest. I would much rather drink carnevale, but something tells me this would pair better with a meal.
