Golden beer, no head. The aroma is nicely spicy. A bit of apricot and some light spiciness. There is a touch of clove and fruit. Light body, low bitterness. A pretty balanced brew.

Pours a cloudy orange with no head and a faintly sweet aroma with a touch of sweaty funk. Tastes like orange Cream Soda, some coriander, fairly typical wit on the sweet side. Not terrible. Body is thin, good carb, no creaminess. Lingering orange sweetness. Drinkable, but no head and thin body really detract. Thanks to Robin for the trade!

bottled at No.926. A hazy unfiltered amber ale. Slight hops, a touch of grainy malt and some odd citrus notes. Like orange juice that has been left out. Flavor is much of the same, dull hops, and dull malt with that stale orange juice finish. Drinkable, but not memorable.

Dégusté en format de 341ml et dans un verre tulippe. Bière de couleur or trouble avec peu d’effervescence et une mousse moyenne mais très collante au verre. Odeur de banane verte, de pomme verte, de céréale et de citron léger légèremment enduit de verdure. Un goût de citron et d’houbon légèremment poivré. Un léger goût en finesse de pelure d’orange et d’abricot crémeux. Une sensation plutôt ordinaire, mais agréable.

(12 oz bottle) hazy gold with small white head. Faint yeasty aroma. Flavor is mild malt, yeast, some fruitiness in the finish.

Biere de couleur rouille ambré avec un moyen collet collant. Arome de sucre brun , pommes verte, blé, pain brun 14 grains et une resemblance de fraicheur de celerie. Gout de blé tres présent, un peu salé. UNe saveur agréable mais qui semble manqué beaucoup de complexité.
