TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 2, 2010
330 mL bottle. Really pale gold with a thick film of head. Never disappears. Aroma is pleasant; honey sweet, a little spicy, and the Belgian yeast. There’s a strong herbal element to the flavour that’s not present in the aroma. Bruised apple, some grapefruit, some grain. Strong flavours hide the alcohol well. Maybe a little oxyidation. Nice beer, though.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - FEB 21, 2010
Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JAN 27, 2010
Dark golden color with a high head. Very fruity aroma of cherry, pear, and honey. Sweet and syrupy flavor, honey, apples. Too sweet for sure. A bit cloying, and quite thick. Ok.

ogreface (826) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 14, 2010
Zavaros,ködös közepesen sárga színe van,amiben különböző darabkák és uszadékok lebegnek.A sör tetején egy hófehér hatalmas lukacsos hab fekszik,ami páni gyorsasággal esik össze.Illata citrusos,élesztős és enyhén mustos.Íze citromosan savanykás,korianderes amibe beúszik egy kis mandarinos és komlós aroma is.Az alkohol igen erősen érződik rajta és gyorsan átmelegít.Utóíze fanyar,enyhén kesernyés és kicsit hasonlít a "Fishermans Friend" cukorka egyik változatára.Érdekes ital,olyan mintha kicsit "baltával faragták" volna.Nem az én világom...

judasbeer (431) - Budapest, HUNGARY - DEC 19, 2009
Pours deep-gold with chunky yeasty texture. Fingerwide, lasting white head leaves some lace. Honeyish lighter fruits on the nose, very smooth, no sensible alcohol, moderate yeasty spiciness. Lot of peppery phenols in the flavor besides quince like fruity character. Fizzy character, oily texture, medium body, sensible, but smooth alcohol warmth. Rather yeasty, phenolic dryness than hoppy bitterness.

Cloudy yellow colored brew. Yeasty, hoppy aroma. Flavor is floral, fruits, spices. Not bad. But a bad desing.
