ogivlado (3036), Zagreb, Croatia Oct 28, 2009 Bottled 500ml. -at Old Nickel, Amsterdam. Hazy apricot coloured, small white head, malty caramel nose. A bit too sweet malty, slight grassy and fruity with notes of caramel and hops. Moderate dry bitter finish. Drinkable but somehow boring. Quack-Duck (3129), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany Oct 17, 2009 bottle from Bierzwerg. Hazy brownish-golden colour with a mid-sized off-white head. Malty-hoppy nose with "old cellar"-aroma. Malty, nutty with a touch of yeast. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Oct 16, 2009 gravity cask @ redlight redlight. Slightly tart malty aroma, apples. Pours golden amber with a big fluffy white head. Solid malty flavor with loads of grassy hops, caramelly and earthy, very drinkable. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 16, 2009 Cask at Redlight Redlight in Orlando. Cloudy orange color. Slightly tart, fruity aroma with a bit of grassy hops. Flavor is very similar with grassy hops dominating the finish. Very good. Beerlando (2284), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 16, 2009 Gravity cask at Redlight Redlight. Pours cloudy, glowing orange-amber in hue. A fluffy head of ivory colored foam settles to a thin layer with a pronounced edge, leaving sticky, splotchy rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is lightly sweet and doughy, resembling that of undercooked, honey glazed bread. Notes of sweet apple marmalade and caramel come through as well. Flavors are initially sweet and caramely, again very bready and yeasty, seemlingly like uncooked dough. The hop profile is significantly more prominent, floral and peppery, lending some nice balance. Apple seeds lend a little woody astringency that lingers on the finish. Medium bodied and creamy up front, that hop finish intensifies with building, lively carbonation. Solid session brew, but it’s not that exciting. michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 15, 2009 500ml Bottle: Aroma of sweet malts, dust, yeast, and a touch of honey. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout at a film on top of the beer. Cloudy. Slightly sparkling. Full of small, medium, and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of sweet malts, grains, slight hops, light yeast, and hints of vegetables, tea, and honey. Light to medium body. Lightly oily, then lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Slightly sweet, lightly bitter, malt, grain, and hop finish. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 11, 2009 A big thanks to SoLan for this one and helping me get all of my styles! As my fiancee would say, this absolutely smells and tastes like "beer." I can’t really think of anything else to say. It had a really awesome color, though... a strange cloudy orange that almost glowed.
