omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 19, 2007 Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Hazy amber, airy head. Yeasty orangey nose. Warming alcohol hidden in a soft body together with orangey and resiny hops. Evident Belgian style flowery, alomndy yeast character. Quite bitter finish. DYCSoccer17 (2187), Davis, California, USA Dec 18, 2007 750 mL bottle graciously shared by grant. Sweet, sugary, floral , herbal aroma with very mild hints of Brettanomyces. Aroma is quite sweet and sugary. Very mildly hazy honey-colored body with a small-medium off-white head and ok lacing. Carbonated, bitter, metallic flavors with some musty yeasty Brett flavors. Fruity, floral flavors come in later with a dry, bitter, hop finish. Quite hoppy, and overly dry for my palate. Decent, but this does not really jive with my preferences when it comes to Belgian ales. slang (392), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Dec 14, 2007 bottled. Very floral and perfume nose, taste is a tongue wack!, I mean really. But as I slowly get more adjusted the hops stand strong, then weird flower/perfume/cologne things going on, then Belgian yeast. Almost, but not, a Belgian ipa. Complex, but so easy to drink that its hard to be a session ale & it was like $15 a 750, so... Amazing description on bottle, impressive, also see Captain Cougar’s. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Dec 8, 2007 Gold with light haze. Some lemon and yeast in the aroma. Candy citrus flavor with some spicy yeast. Lightly metallic. Nice though. This was my last drink at the SAF, so the rating could very well be messed up. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Dec 8, 2007 750 ml bottle from AJ’s (Tucson) - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger thick fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is esters, spice, and light citrus. Flavor is much of the same. Beer leaves a little bitterness and zing to the palate. Medium to full body. A good beer. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA Dec 1, 2007 Original sample courtesy of Puddintane, available here now and more bottles on the way from 5000. Golden/orange with huge rocky white head. Aroma has a huge floral and citrus kick up front. Grapefruit, ortanique, faint pineapple. Slight yeast character shows through as well. Flavor on par, big fruity esters up front, again mostly grapefruit, fades to spicy herbalness. Very yeasty through the middle, fades to a tosted/biscuity finish. Medium-soft carbonation, can’t wait till the brett really kicks in. ryan (1774), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Nov 30, 2007 Sample provided by kmweaver. Clear golden body with a large fluffy white head. The nose is very hoppy (herbal, floral) with pineapple, apricot and cotton candy. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter with cotton candy, tangerine, pineapple, lavender and spicy herbal hops. Medium body is soft with moderate, gentle carbonation. This was a fantastic beer. zathrus13 (1288), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA Nov 30, 2007 Pours yellow/gold, with an off white head. Aroma is citrus hops, yeast, and spices. Flavor is peaches, citrus, yeast,malt and spices. A nice collaboration.
