pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 29, 2006 Bottle: Foggy, burnt caramel color with a fluffy, off-white head. I definitely smell the lemon verbena and something else like curdling milk as well as other herbs. The taste isn’t as good as I was hoping for -- aftertaste is kind of like I imagine my little boy’s urine-logged diaper would taste like. I imagine there are other redeeming qualities, pehaps I drank it too cold. luvcasks (178), USA Jan 29, 2006 Another excellent beer from New Belgium Brewing. Something that flies in the face of the usual. A very intriguing belgian style ale.
Appearance: Nice ruddy brown and cloudy with a white lacy head.
Delicate aroma or hops against a sour brackground...
Flavor a dance between sour, malty sweetness delicious.... the label says Lemon Verbena, I could not detect it.
If you are looking for something different in the sea of IPAs and IIPAs and Stouts this is a must find jujubeast6000 (772), Houston, Texas, USA Jan 28, 2006 On tap @ FS: Light aroma of flowers, oranges, apricot. Cloudy dark orange color. Smallish white head, lasting. Smooth semi-sweet taste, apricot, fizzy, hops, spicy, bitter aftertaste. BungTapper96 (4), Ft. Worth, Texas, USA does not count Jan 26, 2006 BDM has a most unique hue of orange. it sets a true glow to the beer. it aroma is distinctly citrus. the mouth feel is very effervenscent with a good amounts of grain shining through. the lemony citrus quenches any thirst. overall a nice brew for the season it was meant for. Skycast (7), Colorado, USA does not count Jan 23, 2006 Updated: Feb 24, 2006The head is near white and of average height after the pour; the body is murky which gives away the wheat malt of this beer. Upon first smelling, your nose is hit with a light spiciness with a hint of coriander. Quite surprising as the label does not say coriander is present.
The flavor is a little light and malty with a nice light and dspicy after-taste. The body is light and somewhat creamy with a decent amount of carbonation.
A nice beer to drink a little on the cold side on a warm summer day. Another thumbs up for New Belgium. Sincere (145), wichita, Kansas, USA Jan 22, 2006 12 oz bottle pours a yellowish head that dissapates quickly, leaving small lacing. The body is a dirty yellow, very hazy. It smells of fresh hops and lemon and honey. Tastes very smooth, with much lemon and a little orange peel to the mid and endtaste. An interesting drink to say the least. madcow75 (425), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA Jan 21, 2006 Bottle. Pours cloudy, golden orange with a thin to non existent white head. Very yeasty aroma with some banana and a bit of lemon coming through. I do get some lemons and orange in the taste along with grains, wheat. Finishes with some a sour lemon and apple peel taste. Very easy drinking beer. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Jan 20, 2006 Not quite what I was expecting. Pours a hazy orange with almost no discernable head. Oily in the glass. Tastes sugary with some light grassy notes. Aromas of hay and grass seem to quickly give way to sugary smells.
