750 ml bottle from Richmond Beverage in Richmond, VT (March 2008), sampled a little below cellar temperature (to start) from a Maudite glass and accompanied by pepperoni, smoked mozzarella and Twin Peaks. Very pale, opaque gold with a moderate fizzy snow-white head that disappears quickly and doesn’t lace....hugely potent spicy aroma of lemongrass, coriander, orangepeel and ginger with underpinnings of pale and caramelized malts faintly showing through....highly carbonated, caramel-sweet at the beginning, with citric acidity and spicy qualities showing up midpalate, drying peppery notes towards the finish which is lightly tart and a bit saison-like....pretty light-bodied and a little too effervescent for my taste, but a solid product and one of the better Brooklyn brews I’ve had, certainly.

Oct 10, 2008 Pours a four finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Hazy amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Yeasty nose. Flavor is sweet and sour honey with sweet but clean finish. High ABV is hidden. $9.45 for a 750ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Oct 7, 2008 Not my favorite style, but very good for what it is. It has a very pleasant fruity, yeasty and slightly hoppy aroma. The color is nice to look at and is appropriate for this style of beer. The flavor of the beer is good. Just the right amount of hop flavor without being too aggressive . It also satisfies the taste buds and allows the memory to linger on the palate. No bad after taste at all. Very good beer.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, and hoppy. The flavor brings more of a spicy dimension, and is also yeasty, and a bit earthy and hoppy. Very good.

Oct 5, 2008 750ml bottle, thanks to Swolf3. Great looking bottle,real nice. Pours a light straw color. Smells very lemony and acidic. Very smooth mouthfeel, not too acidic at all, very light on the palate as well. Hide the 9% well. Not bad, thanks Steven.
