Aug 5, 2009 2008.
dirty brown/orange pour with frothy offwhite head.
citrus peel and light spice aroma.
super bone dry, but otherwise lacks flavor. there’s a short citrus bite to it, but not a whole lot else.
as it warms there are some more spices -- vanilla and nutmeg/allspice -- but very mellow.

Aug 2, 2009 Had this on draft at Blind Tiger. Delicious and overwhelmingly complex. Poured a rich amber-orange color with a fine, light head. Smelled very fruity. Tasted of many fruits; I detected pear and apple the most. The hefe yeast gave it some nice wheaty elements as well. A really big, strong beer and I enjoyed it immensely.

Aug 1, 2009 Bottle (2008). Pours a dark gold that is fairly clear but does hold a few floaties and suspended things. Head is thin and fizzy... almost nothing after a few seconds. Aromas are weak... a bit of honey and fruit (banana and pear) sweetness is about it... Flavor has a decidedly oxidized edge to it (although this seems to subside as it warms and breathes a bit), but does have a fairly nice and diverse amount of fruit flavors mixed together. Pears, peaches, honey bananas, etc. with a little bit of a peppery kick in the finish. Alcohol is obvious and poorly hidden. It is a little on the astringent side of things, too. This got consistently better as it warmed...

Aug 1, 2009 Tap at BT, 2008. Aroma extremely wheaty with light orange notes and a bit more lime. Flavor lemony and wheaty coupled with barley wine sweetness and nice candied apple. Pretty nice.

Jul 31, 2009 2008 version on tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a super cloudy pumpkin-orange with a white head. A little frightening looking actually. Aroma is largely of wheat with some yeast and light spices. Flavor of orange peel, sweet Belgian yeast, sweet fruits. Very sweet, more like a BSA to me. Enjoyable.

Jul 30, 2009 Draft at Blind Tiger. Pours a hazy orange with minimal white head. Aroma has some surprising hefeweizen-like notes of banana, lemon, and clove with some pineapple and mango to boot. Flavors of pineapple, malt, and spiced chai, with a subtle banana finish. Smooth and creamy. Not what I expected out of a barely wine, but this was a pleasant surprise.
