Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. Cork blew off when I took the cage off, so watch out. Pours clean golden with fluffy white head. Light palate, a bit syrupy. Aroma is a bit of fruit but a lot of yeast, with some alcohol. First impression is a lot of apple. Clean finish. The yeast provides the real flavor, unfortunately its all sitting at the bottom. Good beer overall.

Jun 14, 2009 6/14/09 - Bottle # 3,658:
Aroma: Hints of orange, smells like this beer has a large malt bill
Appearance: Lovely golden yellow with a red copper tint with a fluffy one inch head
Flavor: Hints of bavarian hops, the strength of the malt is noticable but well balanced, notes of wheat, slight alcohol presence in finish
Palate: Reminiscent of a belgian ale, smooth and viscous
Overall Imperssion: Reminiscent of a belgian ale, however not quite as refined. That being said, I’m impressed by the skill of Garrett Oliver.

Jun 11, 2009 "(bottle #1657) Pale cloudy straw with a massive off white fluffy cap, the retention is phenomenal I’ve been waiting for ten min to drink this but I can’t the cap aint shrinking. Sour yeasty wheat some lemon, floral notes, and some alcohol all and all not to bad smelling and kind of complex I liked it. Flavour seems milder then the aroma, spicy notes come through in the finish. Wheaty malt with lemon highlights the alcohol shows up mildly in the finish. More enjoyable then I thought it would be but not as good as the Belgian masters. As a final note this is one of those beers where none of the overall scores for smell and flavour are that high but it seems to me more then the sum of its parts, I really enjoy it. "

Jun 9, 2009 This brew looks like it has a bit of bounce to it. Slightly thick, creamy gold color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of red apples, malt, and a bit of chai spice. The taste matches the aroma, although the apple flavor takes a back seat to the malt and spice. That’s a good thing, though.

Jun 7, 2009 Bottle, Mondial 2009. Hazy yellow with a big fluffy head. Aroma is yeasty, citrusy and malty. Taste is yeast and citrusy. Nothing really special there. Well made but nothing special to me.

Jun 5, 2009 Slightly fruity with a yeasty-musty appeal to it. Body is crisp and carbonated. There are notes of spice, cinnamon, etc in there. No trace of alcohol. Major problem is in the finish--its very very dry: there is no residual sweetness (or even flavor) in this beer. It just ends abruptly.
