This is an easy beer to pass over with all the exciting selections to chose from but well worth the sample. Pours a cloudy amber color with an easy two fingers of head. Wonderfully rich yeast and fruity hop aroma. Surprising simple palate with constant carbonation, toffee flavor and quick finish. Not a hint of the 7.5abv at least until the bottom of the glass!

Aug 26, 2005 Strong flowery hop aroma, golden colour with a nice head that does not last very long. A good bitter beer, with dry finish. Medium-bodied and oily, some sweetness prevents it from being one-sided.

Aug 18, 2005 When you open the bottle you smell some kind of sweetness. The head is large at the beginning, but not lasting long. The body is hazy. Nice looking beer, however the aroma and palate is not so strong.

Aug 15, 2005 On tap at Monks. Golden orange with a large white head. Spicy aroma, some hops, a touch of lambic funk. More of the above in the flavor, lots of pepper, cilantro, sharp and slightly bitter. Dry finish. Similar to but lighter than a tripel. A solid beer all around.

Jul 30, 2005 Bottle from Premier Wine & Spirits in Dartmouth, NS - shared with HogTownHarry, jerc & tupalev. Golden-orange colour with a small white head that sticks around. Aroma of earthy malt, spice, notes of pineapple and leather, and some boozy warmth. Flavour has a stale quality, suggesting this is probably an old bottle. Some honey and pepper off the top, with a bitter, almost medicinal finish. Interesting - I’d like to try a fresh one sometime.
