On tap at Barcade. Hazy golden color with a good size off white head. Very floral and herbal aroma with some tropical fruit in there as well. Flavor of oranges, bananas, flowers(don’t ask me what kinds because I’ve never eaten a flower, but this is how I figure they would taste) and black pepper. Very different and very good. I wish I hadn’t traded away my two bottles I had in my basement.

Édition 2005. Couleur orange pale, mousse blanche concassée et persistante. Arômes très parfumés, doucement épicés, suggérant vivement les pétales de fleurs. Saveurs de carambole, de poivre blanc, de zeste d’oranges, clémentines, et de pétales de fleurs (oui, j’en ai déjà mangé!). Un peu sucrée en bouche, la finale elle, introduit l’amertume semblant provenir des fleurs plus que des houblons par sa légère astringence. Carbonatation peu vive et très discrète. Assez unique mais pour l’instant, manque définitivement la complexité des malts de la version 2004. Quelques échantillons en fût, chez Southampton et chez dba, N.Y., Septembre 2005.

Tasted alone at the Labor Day event. Why alone? This is about the time when my gas from the imperial stout tasting came to haunt me. Haunt me and peal the paint of the wall. I think an exorcism of aofoxxy’s garage might be in order if odd events occur. Seriously, her car wouldnt start the next day after that. Ahyhow, the aroma is a slight mustard an cinnamon, malt and bread. Flavor is not as impressive as the aroma. More of a summery spice feel.

Smells like gingerale, pours cloudy. Tastes like tangerines and small oranges with spiciness--have you ever put pepper on an organge (it makes it sweet) Bitter finish.

Bottle: Courtesy of TAR. Aroma is fruit, yeast, flowers, and some citrus tartness. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a white head. Yeasty with some orange peel and light tartness and a flowery bitterness in the finish.

An extrememly unique brew. Pours deep golden transparent yellow, medium white head, high carbonation. Aroma is one of the most interesting I’ve come across. Like nothing else. Flowey, yet spicy, like Christmas gingersnap and cinammon, Belgian yeast, grassy, apple cider, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor has some sweetness to start, dry in the finish, yeast, sweet malts, the spices are there and more blended than in the aroma. Really something of an odd beer, very much worth trying if you can.

2005. Hazy, toasty golden color with mild carbonation and a collapsing soapy white head. Aroma of lavender, perfume, vanilla, apple, rich honey, and alcohol. Flavor is of flowers, apricots, and lemons with more prominent perfumy lavendar notes and some clove. Semi-dry, but comes across sweeter than many saisons. Tea-like palate. Good, but I couldn’t imagine drinking half of a 750 in one sitting (let alone a whole 750) without the flavors becoming obnoxious. I like it in small doses.

Bottle at Ommegang, 2005. Golden, clear, white head. Wintergreen-like aroma. Spicy malty wintergreen-like flavors. Spicy finish.
