Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a mahogany color with a two finger frothy beigh head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, fruit, yeast and light spices. flavor is malty sweet with fruit, caramel, brown sugar and spices with a hint of tartness and has a clean and crisp finish. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Mar 14, 2009 Bottle from New Beer in Manhattan. Nice amber pour with a light tan head that won’t quit- great retention, with moderate to heavy active carbonation. Got a good amount of citrus peel in the aroma with some light belgian yeast character- the aroma could have been a bit stronger. Citrus and molasses in the taste up front, with some toasted/crystal malt and mild brown sugar, Some light gtainy astringency, but not too bad. Finishes with a light bitterness and touches of spice. Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 14, 2009 Thanks to Maltomeal for this beer. Pours a dark amber color with a big tan head and great lacing. Nose is fresh with a spicy floral aroma. Flavor is fruit peel, citrus spice. Palate is rich, ful with great flavors and good carbonation. Good beer that is well balanced. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Mar 10, 2009 Sweet and caramel taste. Lots of carbonation. Toffee. Very nice version of the style. Even in Florida, good beer is being made! Very enjoyable. Only two bottles seem to have made it to Missouri, and they are both at Wine and Cheese. Have to pick up more next time I’m in St. Louis. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Mar 2, 2009 This is my second beer from this brewery (both picked up at Pat’s Liquors in Porter, IN), and I’m being impressed. This one pours a slightly hazed chestnut body with a towering, firm ecru head. It has a fruity, sweet caramelish nose, some flowers held in the distance, and a touch of soapy yeast. Dangerously smooth to drink, light and nigh unto fluffy in the mouth, it tastes of toffee, orchard fruit, mild brown spices, thin molasses, and dark sugars with a moderate flamora. Nice enjoyable drink. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Feb 28, 2009 A really fantastic brew courtes of John: From the bottle, it poured a cloudy reddish-orange colour with a big frothy of white head. Well carbonated, the crisp acidity played a little dance on my tongue (reminded me of Bell’s Sparkling Ale). Bright fruity notes on the nose- apple and pear. With a hint of brown sugar on the palate." crowderm (275), Recklinghausen, Germany Feb 14, 2009 Cloudy brown/orange, with a nice tan head. Aroma of apple, citrus, caramel. Flavor is pretty similar, with some more pronounced brown sugar notes. Pretty easy drinking, but not terribly complex. Nice mouthfeel. Good brew. Odeed (1666), Bakersfield, California, USA Feb 12, 2009 murky orange with no head.aroma is candy sugar,oranges,apples,and slight funk.flavor is much of the same with a watery finish.
