A rerun of friends is on.....Friends is a really good show if you like to get F__ed in the a$$! Anyways, the beer is much better than the show, but that doesnt say much. Murky gold in color, lots of thick head. Aroma of acid and citrus. Slightly peppery on the tongue, fruity, yeasty taste....a kinda weird syruppy thing going on the back of the mouth....decent

Sampled at Argo & Kathy’s ’05 Hoiliday Gathering. Cloudy golden/orange with a white head. Aroma of citrusy orange peel and lemon. The flavor’s kinda banged up; notes of floral hops, lemon, orange, spice and a touch of sourness at the end. Just doesn’t come together that well IMO. Medium body with very spritzy, lively carbonation. eh.

Pours a golden orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus/ginger. Flavor was kinda of muted compared to the nose.

On tap. Cloudy orange brown, with no head. Seriously, I thought at first I was drinking cider. Apple pie, cinnamon, oranges. Very sweet. Tasty, but not my idea of a beer.

650ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden brown with a gigantic beige head. Sour malts, yeast, and maybe slight caramel (thoygh not exactly caramel, but it’s what it reminds me of) in the nose, which is not overly appearling, but not bad. Flavor is smooth malts with hints of roasted rice and coffees, has a sour finish. Not bad at first, but I’m disliking the extremely long sour finish.

Faint aroma of yeast, malt, grass and honey. Gold and crystal clear through the glass. Small layer of fizy foam. The drink is heavily malted and intensly dry. Flavor is bitter and sort of bland.

Pour is reddish amber with an almost not existing off white head...smell is sweet with caramel, light spices, citrus...taste is sweet with some sticky flower stuff happening...a little thin, but improved as it warmed...
