Pours a cloudy orange color with columns of bubbles forcefully racing upward amd a thick diminishing frothy white head. Interesting aroma of bready yeast, spices and fruits. Sadly the flavor doesn’t deliver on the promises of the aroma, the flavor has the bready yeast, spices and fruits elements found in the aroma but it feels old, the carbonation is way too strong too so that doesn’t help either. The palate is light and creamy but it is overpowered by the carbonation. Overall this beer shows promises of a good time but doesn’t deliver.

Orange beer with a very huge white frothy head. Very pleasant fruity and yeasty aroma and taste. I enjoyed that one !

Bottle was ok but nothing special here. Hazy copper appearance, fast-fading head, light tasting. I’m gonna move on...

At 5% ABV is like a small triple with hints of nutmeg and oranges. Unfortunately, lacks the depth and boldness of regular triples.

Hmm. See CapFlu's rating immediately before mine - same symptoms. Ten months later and apparently still the same infection problems. Looks smells and tastes like carbonated vinegar. At microbrew premium prices, it's just not worth the effort. Bottle.

(Bottle) Must have been excited to see me because the beer foamed up and spilt everywhere. When I got to pouring... well, the best description is "opening the wash at the half cycle." Head dissipates after about 3 minutes. Much sediment but little further carbonation. Orange amber body. Citrus and yeast nose. Thin, light, weak. Peppery, citrusy and dissapointingly.
