Jul 20, 2008 11.2 oz bottle, 2004 vintage.. Poured near-clear pale-medium golden with a creamy cap of white head.. left nice lacing as it descended. The aroma picked up sweet, candied lighter fruits (pear and apricot), floral notes, and aged, spicy yeast. The flavor had a banana and clovey impression from the yeast with pear sweetness.. spicier on the finish with some tart light fruit skins. Medium-bodied a touch fuller mouthfeel.. spicy overall and probably a little past its prime.

May 12, 2008 Gold with a nice white head. Aroma is vinegar, apples, yeast, lightly maltiness. Interesting aroma. Taste is light alcohol, light fruitiness, some mild spiciness to it, and yeast rounds it off.
