Pint at brewery Aug 21, 2006 - Aroma is wet bread dough, lemon, and hickory/maple that make for an interesting combo. Pours light brown with a small head and decent lacing. Flavor is citrus, yeast, and spice. The syrup used is apparent giving this typical farmhouse ale a smokey twist. Palate is tart and creamy. An interesting and different take on a farmhouse ale that works well.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a and a very good lacing. The complex funky aroma was malty. The mouth feel was smooth at the start and mediumly tingly at the finish. The funky flavor contained notes of malt and was sweet. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.

Draft at Mad Anthony Oktoberfest. Poured a off-white head that mostly diminished, minimal lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and a yellow hue. Malty, hoppy, sweet, fruity, and spicy nose. Flavor was sweet, malty and hoppy but not overly done. Smooth mouthfeel. Light-medium body.

tap - Pours yellow and a little hazy with a big head. It has a sweet, yeasty aroma. The flavor has plenty of sweet maltiness, plus mild yeast and hops flavors. The body is medium and it’s bubbly on the palate. The finish is somewhat dry.

Tap at 2006 GTMW. Aroma of lemons, banana, straw malt. Overall fairly sweet aroma. Cloudy straw-yellow with a nice white head. Flavir is sweet with banana, bubblegum and grainy malt. Good, but the bubblegum stands out a bit much for me. Light to medium body with high carbonation.

Tap @ GTMW 2006. Lovely, hazed and muddy golden orange in color with a creamy white sheaf and clinging wrung. Sweet and bitter orange peels abate the nose, along with cloves, banana, orange zest, lemon seeds and buttery vanilla. Sugary refreshment hits the tongue and reveals a touch of fusel burn and a hopped up anthem. Effervescence meets husks and coriander that’s been dashed far too liberally. Orangey stream teams with green buds and dry bitterness. Medium-bodied with curtailing pils malt and a lemon juice flavor shine on grapefruit rind shavings. Harsh bitterness is never dormant, and quite dominant especially in the end, meeting up with bitter orange peel for the last goodbye.
