rustychiles (997), Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 18, 2009 On tap at Sun Devil Basement.
Pours a nice orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, malt, grass, and a strange sweetness. Flavor is citrus, grass, malt, that same strange sweetness and light floral notes. Interesting brew. BückDich (4785), McCall, Idaho, USA Oct 8, 2009 Tap @ Boise Brewer’s Fest: Pours a golden yellow color with a light white head. The nose has some light esters and bright citrus notes. Lots of orange and peppery yeast along with a sweeter toasty maltiness in the mouthfeel. A bit light in body and carbonation for the style and to offput the candy sugar. Sniffable though. kmweaver (2396), Sebastopol, California, USA Sep 30, 2009 Draft @ Toronado. Pours a bright, hazy golden-orange color; fluffy white head with decent retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Especially sweet aroma of hard candy, oranges, and floral notes; pleasant but definitely sweet. Medium mouthfeel: the dandelion presence shows more clearly in the mouth, as does a ton of sweetness: candy, lots of oranges and fruitiness; just an inexcusably sweet, sweet beer. Messy, with dandelions. Lengthy finish: sweet oranges, candy and a toastiness emerging, a touch. hellbilly (1492), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Sep 28, 2009 draft at papago... hazy orange with a soft white head.
smells of pale belgian sugar/caramel, grass, yeast, soft spice and perfume.
the palate is on the sweet side while the flavor pretty much mirrors the aroma. there is a defined note of piloncilla and a touch of peppery spice to finish off the description.
medium bodied with a sticky mouth feel... rather unrefreshing. 6/3/6/3/13/3.1 brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Sep 26, 2009 Sampled at the Thirsty Monk, draft. Hazy orange brew with a wispy head. Bready, musty aroma with light grain. Lightly sweet with wheat flavors and some kind of candy like presence. Actually, the sweetness eventually becomes too much for me. Medium body. Seems like a porch sipper for a summer evening. Nothing too great. Suttree (2702), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 21, 2009 Gold, no head. Sweet, flowery aroma. Some caramel in the aroma, as well, and some perfumy notes, as well. Really just a little too much on the sweet side... thegreenrooster (1811), St.louis, Missouri, USA Sep 16, 2009 Pour is a dark golden with a large white head. Aroma is a very slight clove and banana. Flavor has a decent fruit and sweetness which i’m told is from the dandelion stems. The after taste does have some wit beer aspects with the grain and fruit but this is pretty much a one trick pony using dandelion stems instead of hop flowers. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Sep 14, 2009 draft at Toronado’s. Sweet banana aromas with hints of spice. Pours a cloudy blonde with little head. The flavor was a very basic belgian blonde with little character, light fruits, citrus, with some banana. There’s really not a lot going on here?
