Dark orange, slightly hazy gold with an off-white head. Spicy citrus Belgian yeast aroma. Slightly sweet some spice. Some nice tangy Belgian characteristics to it.

750, corked and baled. Pours hazy dark gold with a lacy pale yellow head. Aroma of tangerines and fruit with a touch of spice. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet peach, bread and citrus taste. Softly resin-bittered finish. Seems to leave me with a hint of perfume and funk. Interesting, but in a good way.

Bottle from 7 Corners New Seasons Market in Portland, OR==Poured a golden copper body with a thick fluffy white head. Nutty, spicy, sweet, and florally hopped. Sticky mild tartness that hit the back of the tongue. Very nice!

Bottle shared by puddintane: Pours a clear golden color with a tiny white head. Aroma, bready malts, some yeast and spices. Flavor, spicy, pale bready malts, yeast.

Re-rate: From a 11.2oz bottle, some bretty funk is starting to come through, a nice spice to it. Really coming along nicely.

Big thanks to BeerZach for sharing this bottle.
Pours a light hazy amber to golden color with a white head. Smell is honey-like floral and floral hops. Light pollen like smell along with a hint of funk. Very delicate, soft flavors and the 8.5% was hidden very well. Pretty nice.

Orange-amber, small off white head, light lacing. Aroma is yeasty, quite musty, light citrus, perfume, spice. Flavour is a bit hot, lots of perfume and spices, weird. Spicy mouth, med body, high carb. Finishes long, hot, citrus.

Seems old. Hot with way to much perfume.

750ml bottle.
Opened March 2009.
No date.

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.

750ml bottle. Poured a mostly clear light, golden amber. Nose began with some funk then proceeded to aromas of herbal hops and Belgian yeast. I will get my hands on more of these.....this....I vow.....lol.
