sleepylopes (255), New York, USA Jul 16, 2008 tradtional ale is an unsatasfying name Put it in with the saisons or something all togtlether different. Belgian spice and a massive citrus presence with no pith. Refreshing and drinkable with a nicely diverse grain bill. Goodgrief (993), Middletown, Delaware, USA Feb 16, 2008 Nov. 2006 - Pale yellow pour, very little head or lacing. Aroma was that of pears and apple. Flavor was fruity and spicy with just a touch of barnyard funk. Spices and pepper also prevalent. Fullness of flavor and mouthfeel improved as it warmed, but the beer got yet sweeter. An okay attempt. chronictonic (331), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 5, 2008 On tap - Capone’s - Norristown PA - bright clear yellow gold in color with a bright white head. Mild spiced aroma. Very crisp and very dry mouthfeel. Flavor is similar to a wit with a lemon in it. Would be a great summer beer. sheatripper (788), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 28, 2007 Draught at Barcade. (I can’t believe how sucky I am now at "Asteroids" over all these years...) Slightly hazy gold color with a thin head. Bready, doughy aroma wth some banana yeast. Bready, sour (green apple/lemon) and bitter hop notes permeate what’s like a "raw pretzel" malt flavor. Kind of an underlying phenolic note. Thin and a bit fizzy in palate. Can’t say I loved it, but interesting. golubj (945), Redwood City, California, USA Oct 12, 2007 Draft at Barcade. I remember there being a good amount of carbonation in this one. Some citrus and earthy malt in the aroma. Pretty standard earthy malt flavor with a sour / tart finish.
