Pours a golden orange with a one finger ivory head. Sweet aroma with some spice. Medium body with a good mouth feel. Alcohol bite doesn’t offend. Overall a good beer.

Candy sweet and spicey aroma. Flavor is sweet and rather tart with an alcohol bite.

Thanks to Tim for sharing. Deep orange, plenty of sediment. Thin off-white head. Nose is lots of caramel, orange, cocoa, vanilla, tea, fruity with a hint of alcohol. Flavor is fruity caramel, bubblegum, grape, strawberry, a bit tart. Wonderful.

Bonus Bottle from MaxxDaddy. Thanks Max. Shared with two girls frumpty and I met at the antibalas show. Poured the expected orange yellow with a pillowy white head. Aromas of yeast, coriander, oranges, spices. Refreshing and nice, but not my favorite cup of tea. This was a little too sweet. I prefer the saison.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange with a large white head. Aromas of citrus, coriander, and vanilla. The alcohol is very present in the flavor along with orange, spices and a peppery bite. Pretty good but a little on the sweet side and the alcohol is a bit to dominating for my taste.

This is one of the most complete beers that Iever had the chance of having. It has a comeplxity through the aromas into the palate and then the finish....WOW, what a treat!

Almost clear gold with a foamy soft head that vanishes leaving moderate lacing. Orange and orange blossom nose, sweet toffee, bread and yeast, corriander. Smells like a tripel tastes. Taste of orange (intense), corriander (intense), bread and yeast (intense), licorice (only a hint, thank God!), hops, pepper, and orange in the finish. A lot going on, all in balance. Sneaky warm, though. I bet this one has a lot of alcohol!

750 mL bottle. Cloudy orange color with a thick billowy white head. Sweet floral yeasty aroma with grassy and peppery notes. Very sweet on the taste, some spice there, but sweet overall. A bit of alcohol noticable in the finish. Thick palate. Good, but the sweetness overpowered any subtleties that may have been lying below.
