Bottle. Body-dark honey with a thick rig of bubbles and an ultra thin film of bubbles. Nose-big macro husk, light spoiled/sweet, lightly lactic, a bit of old hops, overall an odd industrial type nose. Taste-low to medium sweetness, slight alcohol, caramel, tart apple, light cream, some unrefined wood, macro on the backend. Overall a very “macro” tasting beer, but in a clean pure way. An easy drinker would make a great food/session beer.

Oct 20, 2008 Surprising beer. Pours clear copper with a big white head. Spicy hop and malt nose; akin to a Sierra Nevada. The taste is very smooth. Sweet malt and crisp hops, nice balance of citrus and resin, with a very distinctive finish. Sour, funky, bretty, and delicious. Its like a Flemish take on an APA. Neither overrun the other, but instead bring out the best in both.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs; poured a rich amber color with a huge, frothy white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, spice, vanilla and a hint of fruitiness. Pretty straightforward and not overly tasty of a beer. Some caramel, yeast, earthy/herbal elements with a slightly tart flavor. Just ok.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drug; corked and caged. Clear amber color with a slight white head. Aroma is somewhat caramel malt with mild fruit and a touch of yeast or sour. Near medium body with carbonation that is noticeable, but not spritzy. There are light fruity notes, possibly a bit of citrous zest. The malt sweetness is mild, everpresent, but not excessive. Pleasant, suggestive of a lighter Belgian ale.

does not count  Oct 2, 2008 We got a keg of this straight from the brewery and it was nearly undrinkable. It is sickenly sweet and tastes as if it weren’t hopped at all.
