Cloudy light yellow, white head, citrus and light hop aroma, moderate sweetness, some odd spiciness, not particularly pleasant, with a light hop finish.

Draught @ BTAH, ’06 vintage. Pours cloudy amber, off-white head that shows some nice lacing. Nose is mellow - spicy, a bit yeasty, hint of candy sweetness. Flavor is also mellow - spicy yeast, some sweetness that combines with the yeast gives it almost a very light, sweet fresh baked bread quality, clean finish, light on the palate. This one is really all about the yeast. Mouthfeel is smooth, with light carbonation.

Draft. Pours golden orange with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity with some yeast and candi sugar. Flavor is that and has a nice caramel body and a dry finish.

On draft at Capone’s. Pours a hazy orange caramel with a medium white head. Lots of lacing. Aroma of light spice, banana and dry fruit. Taste of dry fruit with hints of apricot and orange peel. Has a peppery finish.

Draft.Aroma was turpentine. Pours a burnt siena color with lots of head. Not super filling, not super flavorful either.

On tap at The Blind Tiger for a Brooklyn event. Pours orange brown with a great creme head. Nose is not very prevalent. Flavor is bringing the yeasty funk. Stays smooth while it’s around, but the flavor is not overly lasting. Feel is thick with carbonation, but the liquid seems a tad thin. Definitely drinkable. A nice American interpretation of what can be a difficult style.
