Draft @ NYC’s Blind Tiger. Poured without much head. Very low carbonation. Aroma does not imply the complexity you are about to experience. Smooth mouthfeel. Fruity and spicy. Sweet and bitter citrus notes. Apples, plums, too. Complex as a fine wine. Bit of coppery offtaste was only downside, but overall a great beer.

750 ml bottle, 2005 vintage. Hazy golden brown with a large creamy white head. Grapes, yeast, and tartness on the nose. Flavor is a bit tart, with apricots, banana, some cookie, and vanilla. Spices become evident as fruitiness gives over to a some coriander, white pepper, and orange zest. Full bodied with a spicy/sweet finish. Awesome brew.

Bouteille de 750ml avec liège dégustée chez Tiggmtl en compagnie de Rastacouere et MrRomero548. Malheureusement la bouteille avait un problème. Arôme: Odeur de moisie, de boîte à pain et de zeste d’orange. Apparence: Couleur ambrée légèrement voilée. Aucun col et aucune carbonisation. Saveur: Goût très fruité. Durée de l’arrière goût moyen. Palette: Corps moyen avec une texture aqueuse. Arrière goût non identifié. (Rating #123)

March Tosa Tasting via CaptainCougar. Bright golden color with a smaller off white head. Mild pale malt, mingles with orange citrus, caramel, mild flowers and smooth vanilla liquor. Smooth and creamy feel. Flavors match the aromas except they are slathered on a floury thick biscuit. Smooth and satisfying brew.

Golden cloudy amber color. Thin head. Caramelly orange aroma... except that isn’t it. There is much more in there. Flavor is a flowery, buttery, caramel, orange and perfumey concoction of goodness. Great balance and complex. I love it.

Poured a hazy golden color with a medium white head. Complex aroma. Citrus, yeasty, floral, tart, and sweet with a touch of spice. Flavors almost as complex. A little tart, malty, fruity (mostly citrus), yeasty and more spice than the aroma gave. Medium bodied with a semi dry finish.
