2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewery in August 2009. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate brown color with a thin tan head and almost no lacing. Nose brings candied sugar, caramel, dark fruits, hints of spice, and some booze. Taste is a bit of a mess with flavors in all directions and the malt and the yeast never really coming together, and then being overwhelmed by a big booziness. The feel brings a slight creaminess that is somewhat appetizing and is a boost over the nose. Drinkability is fairly poor. Definitely prefer the other end of the collaboration.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange amber color with a large creamy ivory head. The aroma and flavor have a large candy sweetness with some citrus and peach fruitiness. The spices come through and add some pop to the fruity flavors. There is also a decent level of bitterness that is works well with everything else going on. Medium bodied with good carbonation.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a bottle sampled at Mondiale 2010. Pale gold with a decent white head. It has a sweetish, fruity-yeasty aroma - a grand cru kinda thing. The flavour is not as sweet as the aroma would have you believe. It’s fruity (ripe peach) with some spicy yeast and even some hops. A little booze in the finish. It’s creamy smooth, and the finish is on the dry side.

this is a fantastic beer. Nice and crisp with a wonderful full flavor of yeast, nutmeg... Beautiful color. Great beer. This is what I expect from a golden.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(New Years Eve 2010 flight 1 of 3 - 8:35pm) - Orange body with a small white head that fals pretty fast. Slight orangy aroma. Flavors of orange and red grapefruit. Lingering grapefruit tang in the pallate. No American hop twang to speak of. Bottle has been in the deep cold for about 4 yrs so I am sure it has changed a bit. Still not too bad a beer nonetheless.
