CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jul 26, 2009 Bottle shared with DrBayern, doboy, Steve-o and Brianista. Cork exploded off bottle nearly taking one of Brians eyes, poured a light brown forming huge off brown foamy head. Aroma huge of raisins, spices and yeast like wiffs. Flavour was raisins and candy rock tones, spiced balances out with warming of beer. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jul 25, 2009 Sampled at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL) tasting. Pours a hazy amber color with an off-white head. Interesting sweetness in the aroma and flavor from dark candied sugar. Has some caramel malt characteristics as well. Slight sourness in the finish. badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA Jul 16, 2009 This one requires protective eye gear to open. Two turns of the cage key and the whole fucking top exploded off. It shot the cork and cage thirty feet across the room. Cloudy brown with a huge foamy head (it did blow up after all). Malty spicy aroma and taste with an orange taste and a tart finish. Raisin flavors become more dominant as the beer warms. Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Jul 10, 2009 750ml bottle. This is very carbonated, the cork blew before we got the cage off, but lost only an ounce or two. Nice looking brew, kind of an orange glow too it, nice light tan as well. Has kind of a tart apple aroma, slightly sweet as well. More apples in the flavor, no tartness though, sweetish, dry and some raisins to go along with the apple, pretty good. thirdeye11 (403), Texas, USA Jul 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a dark amber, big head. Nose is sour, dark dried fruits and quite complex. In the taste I detect the fruit as dried cherries, and the finish is caramel malt. Very nicely done. craftbeerdesign (731), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Jul 5, 2009 Shared 750ml bottle... pours a deep hazy amber with a really deep and large off tan head... this quickly settles down to a thin lacing... some funk and Belgian yeast along with deep dark fruits on the nose... a nice med body with some sweet sour notes taking strength and grabbing hold of the tongue...as the beer settles over the tongue the dark fruit notes come forward including plums, tart apples, and cherries... pleasant sour finish with a bit of sweetness... different twist on a Belgian sour. alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Jul 5, 2009 750 ml bottle via trade? Pours a hazy orange amber color with a small off white head. The aroma was sweet, slightly fruity, Belgian candy sugar, yeast and spices. The flavor had more fruits, caramel malt, banana, yeast, sugary sweet, with a touch of alcohol. Decent interesting beer. Medium full mouthfeel. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 5, 2009 Cloudy caramel with big, fizzy and foamy tan head / LIght, crisp nose of orchard fruit, brett, and caramel / Light to medium body, tart and somewhat sour, with good balance and finish / Sour, a little skunky, flavors of caramel, apples, cherries, cinnamon and brett / Lacks the complexity of the best like Jolly Pumpkin, but very good.
