DougShoemaker (2613), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 8, 2008 Bottle @ Mondial 2008.
Aroma has a lot of very nice malt, with some good hops chiming in too, hazy golden, tiny white head. Taste is a pleasing light malt, some lemon/orange essence. Light bodied, well balanced, softly bitter, a most pleasant treat.
hellbilly (906), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Oct 9, 2008 bottle BB 12/2008 from glouglouburp... glad i read the reviews on this before i opened it... i had a glass at the ready when i popped the cap. i managed to get all of the gushing foam into my tulip. it actually keeps creeping out of the bottle like those cheap smoking snake fireworks... it finally settles down to reveal a hazy golden blonde/yellow color with a rocky cavernous head and clingy soap like foamy lace. yeasty stinky hoppy aroma reminds me of saison dupont... raw sugar, yeast, dust, spice/white pepper, light citrus/especially orange, hay bales and a mild sourness. the flavor is similar with a pleasantly dry bitter finish and a skunky hoppy aftertaste... lots o’ hops. medium body. soft airy carbonation after it sits and settles. dry and quite satisfying. gregmurer (3), ydes, France does not count Oct 1, 2008 why only that small rate? As i’ve seen, i’m not alone to receive a gushed beer... After opening about 8 bottles of the same stock, they all do the same... Too much gaz inside, and a low palate... the first one i bough came from another batch i guess, it was really nice and hoppy, but those ones... too light, too foamy, too much of all but what needed to be a good beer. sorry guys, i guess that batch had an issue. blankboy (2625), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 22, 2008 <i>Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Gusher! Pours a hazy dark yellow with a few floaties and a large fizzy white head. Nice yeasty & hoppy aroma, hoppier then I expected, along with some light spices and sweetness. Flavour’s spicy, hoppy and yeasty along with some fruit and a nice bitter finish. Quite carbonated. Medium bodied. A very enjoyable beer, I’d buy this regularly if it were available. rederic (1444), montréal, Quebec, Canada Sep 15, 2008 330ml bottle, at the opening of the bottle a big explosion of foam happened, cloudy honey gold hue, with a fluffy white head, yeasty, zesty, lemony nose, with some floral hop citrusy notes, with a hint of stewed apples, within a leafy aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, grapefruit, lemon, stewed apple, flowery hop citrusy character, with some kind of herbal juicy leafy accents, leading towards a nice lemonny, leafy hop bitterness finish.
