blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA May 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fluffy off white head. Aroma has notes of peach, almond, vanilla, and yeast. Medium body. Fruity flavor with notes of peach and apricot candy, yeast and vanilla. Nice.
mikalooch (31), , New Jersey, USA Aug 28, 2008 Pours out a dark and hazy amber color with a nice frothy cream white head. Smells of vanilla mixed with citrus fruit. Malty and spicy at first, warms as it goes down and finishes extremely dry. Thick mouthfeel. Can taste vanilla, lemon, malt, and what seems to be wheat. Brewer says that they tried to stay away from some of the sweetness but I think it could use a bit to balance it out a bit more. Average, a bit too expensive for what it is. Ron (751), Rochester, New York, USA Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brew Fest. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Sweet malty aroma with a caramel. Sweet and fruity and spiced flavor. Malty, slight yeasty and sweet finish. BillWyce (32), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle poured into English pint. Pours to
a MASSIVE head-pour slowly or near a
sink. Aroma of citrus with slight notes
of vanilla esters that come through more
as it warms. Amber color with yeast
sediment. Tastes of vanilla, citrus, malt
sweetness and spices. Good as is.
saving a bottle to try the brewer’s
suggestion of aging. JCB (1071), Durham, North Carolina, USA Aug 9, 2008 12oz from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquor, D.C. The beer gets off to a decent start, with a bright pour and a thick head. Some floral and fruity notes mingle in the nose. But to me, the different elements really didn’t come together - the booze was too prominent, something emphasis by the lingering, almost overpowering sweet malts. It just doesn’t have the balance I crave in this style. Russo (510), Campinas, Brazil Aug 7, 2008 Bottled. a Dark cloudy amber color, nice white head, aroma is fruity and like the belgian ales. Remember me a La Trappe or something like that. Flavor is pretty much the same, no alcohol perception. A quit dry finish. Good One!
