Feb 12, 2010 750ml bottle. Poured a hazy goldish amber with a thick fine bubbled white head. Smells of sweet malt and candy sugar, along with banana, cherry and apple with some slight alcohol. Fruits are everywhere on the initial taste, but are toned down quickly to leave a dry and surprisingly balanced beer. Not too sweet, as the aroma would suggest. This is a tasty brew and makes for a decent Christmas beer.

Jan 18, 2010 Pours a cloudy dark amber/orange color with golden orange hues and a two finger bubbly white head that slowly settles into a lasting cap. Sporadic spots of lacing.
Slightly earthy spicy aroma with lots of estery Belgian yeast notes. Hints of light fruit especially apple, pear and strawberry. Peppery zest and spice with cinnamon, Christmas pastr, earthy grass and subtle hops.
Highly carbonated up front with a slightly creamy and very earthy medium body. Lots of dry earthy grass(hemp?) notes followed by subtle malt backbone with plenty of estery Belgian yeast and candy sugar. Hints of apple, pear and berry with lots of sharp and dry spicy, peppery character. Also, a good bit of Christmas cake ans slight alcohol. Dry finish.

Jan 15, 2010 750ml bottle shared at a tasting thanks to Arbitrator on BA. Pours a mostly clear orangish-golden color with a fairly large off-white head that lasts. Aroma is sweet malt, spices, and candi sugar. Smells Christmasy and Belgian for sure. Flavor is very malty and sweet with caramel, bready notes, caramel, honey, and spice. Smooth on the palate with medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty nice beer overall.

Jan 12, 2010 Bottle split with Dallas. Pours a slightly hazy orange body. Aroma is sharp malt. Taste is basic malt, not a ton of flavor - the aroma is significantly better than the taste.

Dec 23, 2009 Pours an orangy amber with a fairly large off white fizzy head. Notes of fruit and some floral hints in the nose. First note noticed in the taste is hay/grass with some citrus, wood, and caramel notes coming on just a beat later. Mouthfeel is tingly and slightly chalky. Finish is dry and very slightly spicy.

Oct 25, 2009 750 ml. Hazy orange with a medium-sized head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, dry grass and wood. Tastes of resiny wood, dark bread, beeswax, spicy orange, and peppermint. Light body is too fizzy for me, has some spice and alcohol warmth, and finishes dry.
