Sep 14, 2009 Bottle from BevMo. Pours a brilliant clear copper color with an initial 1cm foamy white head that fades to light lacing. Aroma is light orange peel, cinnamon spice with a bit of nutmeg, and toasted malt. The fizzy carbonation releases a few hints of tangy brettanomyces yeasties. Flavor is simple; toasted malt toffee, more orange peel, and a bit of sweet lemon. Finish is simple, with minimal sourness from the wild yeasts. Typical Bier de Garde brew.

Sep 13, 2009 On draught during Autumn Brew Review 2009 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber colored brew with a thick off-white head that has some nice retention. Aroma of golden grain malt, some yeast, lemon and a hint of barn yard funk. Taste is medium bodied, some light carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some yeast, lemon zest and a touch of fruit. Finish is semi-sweet with some candi sugar, and yeast aftertaste.

Sep 12, 2009 22oz bottle at Morandi’s Record Street Brewing Company. Pours a highly effervescent, bright orange color; fluffy off-white head with good retention and mixed-bubbled lacing. The spicing in this makes it come off as something like a pumpkin beer: nutmeg, light cinnamon, slightly stale; bland; more spice than dry and biscuity character. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of dense, chewy spicing, orange candy (light sweetness), and earthy / citrus bitterness; ultimately sweet and chewy; very light metallic note muddling things. Chewy, spiced biere de garde. Lengthy finish: candy sugar, oranges, and light pumpkin-like spicing.

Gypsy19 (602), California, USA
Sep 7, 2009 Pours a clear dark orange with a medium fluffy white head. Aroma has a little bit of spice and clove, maybe a little bit of cream, that’s about it. Flavor is pretty dull also, there’s just a little bit of light fruit and spice; there’s a lot of room for more flavor... Velvety mouthfeel. Overall, good minus.

Sep 5, 2009 Bomber from the Sam’s in Downers Grove, Illinois: It poured a slightly hazed orange/amber body with an ecru film in lieu of a head. It had an aroma of lemon, soft caramel, warm spices, and a touch of funk. Very socft mouthfeel - perhaps too soft. The flavor added a touch of tropical fruit and a mild citrus rind bitterness. The finish was dry and mildly bitter. Pretty decent.

Sep 3, 2009 22oz Lips of Faith bomber 9/3/09 (Sam’s Wine & Spirits-Downers Grove)-Pours a hazy amberish orange with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, sugars, citrus, spices, malt, and caramel. Taste of the same with the yeast, caramel, spices, and a bit of pepper coming through a bit more prominent. A nice tasting medium bodied brew. Good job.
