jimhilt (1469), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Nov 22, 2003 Pour this slowly, you can get a serious head - stays but doesn't leave much lace. Nose is hazelnut and color is a cloudy amber. Serious amount of chunky bits that settle to the bottom - they do not detract from the excellent flavor. Just a slight hint of yeast. Good mix of malts and hops but the malts dominate. A 750ml bottle is $13.95.
jde123 (707), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 15, 2004 Champagne-esque pop, frothy beyond belief. Very fruity aroma, something like bubblegum, vanilla, nectarines, with a hint of hazlenut. Loads of sediment in the ensuing yeast storm. Decent palate, very silky yet robust feel that stirs echoes of Belgium’s better selections. This ambrosial mélange embodies the etheral countenance of an accomplished brewer. I dare say it is the best thing since chewable liqour. Hairofthedog (418), San Diego, California, USA Dec 5, 2004 Light lemony tea aroma w/ sweet undertones, this beer has a deep golden orange color w/ good head and lacing. Very citrusy and sweet, good effervesence. TAR (2011), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA Jan 29, 2004 Speckled glowing peach. Sticky, creamy, semi-rocky, dusty-white head. Medicine, rich honey, and soft phenols in the aroma with hints of vanilla, dates, plummy/buttery malts and spicy herbs. It’s also lightly vinous and musty and packing just enough fruity esters to deflect the elegant caramel and cream notes. Soft body. Firm, tiny-bubbled carbonation. Starts maltly sweet with light herbal qualities trying to penetrate the rich, maris otter-like malts. Very bright. Mild phenols, anise, and juicy herbal hops poke through, cushioning the fluffy malt sweetness. Ends with melted toffee atop a leafy edge and luscious blanket of malts. Lingers with lipsmacking malts and figs drizzled with honey and vanilla. Gentle noble hop burps. Sensational brew. DaSilky1 (1669), San Diego, California, USA Dec 22, 2003 luminous orange in light's presence but remaining dull amber in the shade..it always held a firm layer of frothy bliss..musty dried fruits foxtrot in the air as the apricots come alive...a comfy pillow of creaminess awaits as it emits fruity flavors that just hint of being lightly spiced...drinkable beyond words..italian? hmmm...chewy fruitiness makes this a seeker-outer! No doubt.
