Jun 17, 2009 Draft at Taco Mac. Pours an amber brown with a thin off-white head. The aroma is malty with a good bit of fruity esters, subtle toffee and chocolate maltiness, and a very light tartness. The flavor is surprisingly unlike anything else made by Sierra Nevada - no American hops. It is mildly malt sweet with a strong doughy yeastiness and distinct "Belgian" ester characters. There is pleasant semi-sweet combination of nutty, toasty, caramel-toffee malts and light tartness/acidity. The finish is somewhat dry with a sweet and mildly tart malt complexity and very moderate earthy hop bitterness. Overall, a surprise from Sierra Nevada (who makes "double bocks" that taste like IPAs). Pretty good, though not fantastic.

Jun 16, 2009 On tap at Capone’s. Was a clear chestnut color with a small off-white head. Smelled of banana, wheat, and spice. The flavor was spicy, lightly tart, bubblegum, and banana. Had a fuzzy yet smooth mouthfeel. I was afraid this was going to be brewed using the standard SN house strain of yeast but I was wrong. Almost had some hefeweizen qualities. Not bad.

Jun 14, 2009 Tap @ Pizza Plant. Ruby/amber body, light tan head. Nose is saison yeastiness, alcohol, some roasty malt, clay & flowers. Flavor is bitter yeast, lots of alcohol, some nutty malt. Overly bitter - either spices or hops. Kinda like a nut brown done w. saison yeast. Way too much booze.

Jun 11, 2009 Tap at Rose & Crown. Medium-brown color with an off-white head. Funky aroma with caramel malt and mild fruitiness. Flavor slightly sour and funky, with sweetness from the caramel malt and a little grain. Balance is not great. Palate medium with a little tart bite. Not terrible, but far from SN’s best.
