3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, mds & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Vintage 2006. Pours a hazy orange-red with a large lasting off-white head. Nice aroma of yeast, spices, tart fruit, malt and some sweetness. Big yeasty flavour with herbal hops and tart fruit. Good bitter finish. A touch boozy but not enought to detract from the enjoyment. Medium bodied. This as they say, is the shit! Awesome.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a extremely large sized head of all foam bubbles that were very long lasting and left behind a hazy softly carbonated dark orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The bottle started foaming up and oput of its mouth as soon as it was un capped. It continued to foam up and out of the bottle for like ten minutes! I have never seen one like that before. The aroma was malty musty and dough. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt mild spice coriander and mild dough. An OK brew just nothing special.

Murky copper color with a thick head. The aroma is dead to the world. Big flavors of wet horseblanket and spices. Much yeast. It’s not all bad.

Au fût @ RedLight RedLight, Orlando, cuvée 2006. Quelle chance d’avoir pu déguster cette merveille à la pression et avec qcq années.
Bizarre que elle soit référencée comme IPA, mais elle fut néanmoins un régal pour les papilles.
Couleur est orange claire avec une palette de couleur allant vers l’orange sanguin / chair de pamplemousse. Mousse est épaisse et blanche.
Arôme est aigre, note de vinaigre, fruité avec pas mal d’aromate sans pour cela trop noter le houblon.
Palais garde cet aspect de vinaigre (moyen), pamplemousse, sec en bouche avec un fini mi-tropical qui est complémenter par cette aigreur. Possibilité d’y noter des traces de bois, peut être âgée en tonneaux de chêne?
A déguster.

Bottle - swing-top - at Max’s. Copper with a huge head. Very effervescent! Nose is hoppy and floral with a spice and subtle herbal aroma. Taste is floral and hoppily bitter with more light herbal notes, yeast and dried fruits. Body is bubbly but light-medium overall. Finishes with more bitterness but some stronger fruits and dusty yeast. Light flowery notes as well.

Really? this is 6 years old? I had it on draft at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville in December 2010. Also - An IPA? Really? It was a really nice beer, don’t get me wrong, but I got a lot of fruity, slightly sour notes in the aroma and flavor, and not much hoppy flavors. Oh well, I liked it whatever it was.
