Aroma of honey, curacao, yeast, wheat, flowers and coriander seed. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive malt, wheat and yeast tucked in with flowers, grass, honey and some light nuts.

I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 03-August-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 02-May-2009. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA May 2, 2009 Pours orange with a big frothy white head. Body is clear. Aroma of sweet apricot, nutmeg, apple pie, and spices. Flavor starts with sweet fruit that borders on marmalade, then transitions to barnyard flavors, spiciness and fruit. Finish is mildly tart, herbally, and alcoholic. Body is full and slightly syrupy with dryness on the finish. This is a full-flavored ale to be sure, very complex and tasty. II personally think the finishing flavors could have used more acidity and brett for heightened balance. Imperial-John (154), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Apr 29, 2009 Orange nutmeg aroma. Murky brownish orange with thin beige head. Dry, boozy orange. Smooth, creamy carbonated bitterness, warmness as it goes down. Light orange peel aftertaste, like soft triple sec.
