| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2008 Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. Neck tag shows Batch #1, June 2007. So I guess this is well aged! I originally sampled this at Max’s Belgian Beer Fest back in February, but neglected to enter the rating. The I got bottles a month or so after that and have been sitting on it since. Hazy golden pour with a tall, fluffy white head. Not a lot of lacing with this. Aroma is very yeasty and funky but not too extreme. Grass, earth, floral hops, peppery spice, and dust make up the rest of the aroma. Taste is slightly tart and very funky with strong yeast, dry malts, grass, flowers, earth, some leather, old books and spices. Almost some medicinal bitterness in spots. Body is light and bubbly. Strong carbonation at times. Dusty and dry around the edges. The finish adds a touch more hops to this. Stronger yeast, dried fruits, spices, earth notes, grass, flowers and soft funk are all noticed during the finish. Rather tasty and a wonderful summer beer! Ron (1021), Rochester, New York, USA

Aromas of yeast, hops, and sweet malt. Flavor is very well balanced, with spicy hops, and a finish that starts off sweet and ends with bitter hops. Very smooth, and the alcohol is well concealed. A fine beer.
