CBC @Sam Adams-on tap-pours a thin white head and cloudy orange color. Aroma is clove, light malt/wheat, light fruit. Taste is clove, light malt/wheat, light fruit-apricot/sweet. Syrupy mouth feel.

Draft, EBF: Cloudy orange. Strong cookie paste aroma mixes into a fruit salad and honey candies to propose a moderately sweet and juicy mixture. Strong biscuity malt though not in a helles manner. Elegant wheat chunks bring german claims that are quickly overtaken by peppery belgian yeast. Powdery melon and fruits bring some depth into this unpredictable baker’s choice. Superb dessert beer, highly carbonated, foamy and texture. Totally untraditional and as experimental as it gets. Excellent.

Sampled at the 2005 EBF: Pours a hazy cloudy dark copper with a frothy off-white head. Rich yeasty, esthery aroma with nice sweet wheaty balance. Tart wheaty and complex body with a little too much acidity. Nice authenticity though and a good beer from Sam Adams. I don’t know why they don’t make this in bigger batches and bottle it, but perhaps there isn’t much of a market for it.

Sample at XBF:

The Lure:
Peach cream and an alcohol waft from a banana daiquiri. Enticing if not linear.

The Festivities:
A predominantly sweet and fat malt body proffers peaches, alcohol and a canned fruit salad syrup. Ending is very bitter, carbonation and sweetness are puzzling for the style.

Pours a dark brown/amber with a tan head. Smells of clove, bananas, spicy. Tastes of sweet wheat, molasses, coriander, cloves, some spicy hints.

Pears, peaches, bananas, and wheat with a whiff of alcohol in the aroma. Opaque orange- brown with thin white head that recedes to ring. Intensely sweet fruit flavours with some wheat bite and a light sourness compounding the bitterness in the finish. Light refreshing body with engaging carbonation that prickles the tongue. Odd, interesting and not at all what I was expecting. Sampled at the Extreme Beer Festival 2005.

[BCTC 08] Poured a murky amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, light banana, some clove, nuts, and citrus fruits. Taste of caramel malts, nutmeg, black cherry, some banana, nuts, and faint clove, with just a bit of alcohol in the finish. Liked it a bit more than the others, but I did have higher hopes after reading the previous reviews.
