Extremely strong gusher!!! Lost nearly 90% of the beer. Fucking Shit!!!! The beer in the glass is brownish-orange, slightly cloudy. Pleasant smell yeasty and sour, of raisins and plums. Starts yeasty-sweet, with lots of raisins and plums, also sugary and alcoholic. The middle part is also yeasty and sugary-sweet, plum and raisin are once again represented in the background. Goes into a sweet and yeasty, alcoholic finish. (Point Loss cause of this extremely gushing attack!!!)

Amber colored pour. Slim layer of bubbles and a tiny bit of lacing. Smells like a fruity syrup. Sugary and full of perfume. Cloying sweetness. Big alcohol presence. A little thin on the back, which is surprising after the sugary presence up front. This one needs a ton of age on it, then maybe it will be a decent winter warmer. Not as good as the barrel aged versions.

Pours a nice Medium golden yellow color. Minimal fizzy white head, lasted maybe a minute or two. Aromas of light spices, a touch of brown sugar, and something vegetal. Flavor is lightly sweet and hints of spiciness. Touch of citrus.

Pale orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is quite nice with fruits like peach, strawberry and melon. Full, very low carbonated palate. Sweet flavour with brown sugar, apricot and peach.

Bottle @ home. Standard slightly hazy yellow / golden color. Decent smell and taste, firm carbo, medium to full body.

Bottle. Poured clear yellow color with a large white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate complex herbal and yeast aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium spicy sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations where met.

2011 - 05 - 27 330 ml bottle. hazy dark yellow colour. BIG head, very high in carbonation. complex, spicey taste. alcohol too present !!
