cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Dec 24, 2008 330ml bottle
8.0% ABV
I tried this beer on December 22, 2008 at "Smokeless Joes" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a pale gold with a thick, foamy, white head that lasted. The aroma was grainy malt, and a little honey. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was more grainy malt, some milky tones, and a little honey. Nothing spectacular about this one. armando629 (957), Budapest, Hungary Dec 23, 2008 It was very delicious! Nice golden body with a stable foamy white head. Spicey aroma with of course honey, fine citrus-orange perfume. In the flavor dominates the honey but over there is a strong floral hop taste with fine malt and yeast. Dry-coriander aftertaste with honey-sweet notes. Fine! sc0ttyd0g (17), , Greater London, England Dec 21, 2008 stringy lacing and fairly clear amber in colour. a touch of honey can be smelt and tasted, alongside a bit of pepper in the finish. RaphaelN (195), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Dec 20, 2008 Bottle shared with a friend at Volo. Definitely not along the guidelines of enjoyable. Perhaps it was because I had cozied up to my St. Bernardus Abt.12, but this one was disappointing in comparison. Yeast on the tongue with a touch of mild spices and a bit of sugar. Dogbrick (2816), Columbus, Ohio, USA Dec 19, 2008 Bottle at Winking Lizard. This beer pours a hazy light orange color with a medium thin white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of ginger, orange peel and honey. Light body with flavors of spice, wheat and sweet honey. The finish is sweet and malty with a coriander and honey aftertaste. Slightly above average overall. bitbucket (2027), Kirkland, Washington, USA Dec 17, 2008 Bottle, thanks to ILoveDarkBeer. Pours clear dark gold with a lacy white head. Aroma of fruit, honey, maybe a touch of bubblegum? Sweet taste of honey, with a little hint of pepper. Medium-full body and minimal carbonation. A bit of pepper and spice in the finish. zvikar (414), Tel-Aviv, Israel Dec 16, 2008 Updated: Dec 22, 2008From tap, Light amber with smallt to medium head, strong honey aroma with date and honey flavor ,too sweet but yet a good ale. DuffMan (2723), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Dec 5, 2008 Hazy honey gold with a towering dense ecru head that lasts forever and generates ropy lace. Very sweet spicy and honey aroma. Perfumey and creamy. Creamy silky mouthfeel. Honey sweet entry with candied orange and lots of coriander seed and cardamom. Some sweet melon fruit. Underlying bready malt adds plenty of structure. Slightly tart finish offsets the sweetness. Compelling and delicious.
