Boulder, Colorado USA

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Pours a clear gold color with a long lasting good sized head. Aroma hits you with a peculiarly strong grass. Beyond that though, there’s some honey, pear, and grapes, but the strong spicy grass (?) aroma is the most dominant. Taste starts slightly tangy, but then is immediately sweetened by honey, and some sort of sugary bread malt. There’s a spicy tingle to this beer as well. Intense bread flavors on the finish, and when I breath a bit, that grassy hop quality comes back. It’s also the last remaining characteristic of the finish and is quite pleasant. Mild, but present bitterness and the texture and thickness of the beer is good (medium), but it’s not creamy enough to me. A bit cloying and not enough yeast presence to be convincingly Belgian, but it’s a good beer on its own merits.

On tap at the Liar’s Club. This orange ale poured with a thin off-white head. It is medium-bodied and slightly sweet, but leaves a bitter chalky taste on the tongue. Very nice.

Gold in the glass with a brief white variable head. Some lacing. Fantastic label. Aromas are strong pit fruit, especially peach, and some lemon. There is a malt presence here, too, slightly nutty, along with some soapiness of yeast. Astringent beer, with some clove/cinnamon spice and a light finish. Soft palate, yes, but at the cost of the hops. Still, a delicate, fine brew if you aren’t looking for a hop-heavy Belgian strong.

Aroma and taste are dominated by yeast and a bit of an alcohol burn. Beer is light amber hue with a slight head. More balanced than some of Avery’s high abv beers.

Bottled. Clear golden coloured with a medium sixed off white head. Sweet aroma of fruits and spices with notes of hops. Sweet flavour with lots of fruits and spices and a hoppy finish.

nice orange color to it has a nice fuit and spice combo to it and a little kick from the acohol.

22oz bottle: Pours a golden brown color. Very clear, fizzy. Nearly no head, white. Strong dry aroma, grapes, dark fruit, complex, alcohol. Smooth taste, flowery, leafy, slightly fizzy, dark fruit, taste of alcohol. Grapes, spices. Warming up helps, aging might make it better.

A light brown sugar, bread, and yeastiness on the nose of this light orange pour. A frothy white head and lace. A nice abv warmth, followed by, followed by an almost apricot, and an almost orange. A medium/full bodied beer with decent carbonation.
