rudolf (1561), Buffalo, New York, USA Jun 12, 2008 Goodbar Beer Club. Gold body, fluffy white head. Nose is orange blossom, honey, doughy malt, yeasty spice. Flavor is vanilla malt, spice (clove, other), sweet caramel. Finish is vanilla caramel, yeast & fruit. Marvelous!
BlackForestCO (522), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Aug 31, 2008 Bottle shared by acrdz, thanks dude. Poured a clear golden color with a thin white head that diminished to a ring. Aroma of pale malts with some light fruitiness including orange and apricot, and a bit of yeastiness. Lightly tart, wheaty entry with some light hints of fruit (mainly orange) leading into a yeasty finish with some light spice. Moderate mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Decent effort, but it needs some refinement to be truly enjoyable. acrdz (4302), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 31, 2008 22oz bottle pours mostly clear light gold with a white colored head. Nose is initially hallway strong candy sugar and nail polish, turning slightly towards a pillowy but strong yeast. Flavor is mostly sharp nail polish and other chemicals mixed with your more typical Belgian strong golden candied straw and hearty. Overall it’s decent for a few sips but I can’t manage to drink much more of it. bu11zeye (3656), Frisco, Texas, USA Jul 29, 2008 (22oz. bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of coriander, candi sugar, dough, and light florals. Flavor of candi sugar, cereal, yeast, and some honey. travita (737), Lewisville, Texas, USA Jul 22, 2008 Cinammon sugar right away in the smell it also smells of candi sugar, touch of alcohol, and corn. Light golden color with a light white head. Very clear. Taste is a little sweet, candy, apples. joshwilfong (518), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 17, 2008 clear and golden, mild head. flavor of pale malt, no candy sugar evident. some fruity, even lemon flavors. yeasty finish. tastes like a saison, but not necessarily a good one
