Draft at the Gettysburg location, July 2006. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet yeasty with strong notes of fruit. The flavor is very sweet and very fruity, with light notes of yeast mixing in as well as wood, leading to a dry end with the woody notes lingering around. The body is thick.

Orangey-amber, light white ring. Slight tartness hit up the nose and contrasts the biscuity maltiness, fairly toasty. Nice orange flavors, tropical juice and flowery southern flavors. gentle yeasty presence. Soft carbonation, light bodied, not very dry. Good.

On tap at Gettysburg location, July 2006. After developing a theme of subtlety in the previous few beers in the sampler, we returned to an earlier theme - namely sweetness - with this one. Too much sweetness for me. Other might see it differently. Hazy orange colour. Heavily spiced, Belgian tripel style with bags of Curacao and orange peel in evidence. This added a touch of sharp bitterness but, all in all, the overriding sweetness detracted from my enjoyment. So, overall, a slight disappointment.

Draft at the Harrisburg brewery. 30-40% opaque light orange and yellow colored body. Huge sugary nose full of perfumy, sugary soap and coriander scents with light yeast esters. Some light spicy ginger as well, but overall it does not smell good at all - plastic and sugar notes far too heavy. Sharp on the tongue, sugary and spicy, extremely cloying and oversweet, then stale and emtpy in the finish. Tastes highly alcoholic, but also full of unfermented sugars. Unclean and disorganized, and difficult to finish.

Ommegang fest. Tap. Golden ale with a spciey and sulfuric aroma. It may be off. Sweet malt and coriander, with some medicinal aftertaste. Could be good if fresh.
