Draft. Pours golden orange with a thin white head. Bready malty aroma with a fruity hint. The flavor is zesty lemony and bready with some lighter sweet malts. Not bad.

Not a fan of this style and this beer just reminded me of that. Like a good champagne - which I’m not fond of. Dry apple, honey and light toasted and bready malts come through. Not great

Clear golden honey with orange tint pour ... light white head ... aroma of fruits, sweet and bready malts .... taste of fruits like apple and lemon, honey and sweet/bready malts ... light citrus hop taste and a bittersweet finish .... medium bodied

tap at Blind tiger: fruity dry and musty and banana. orange pour with fluffy white head. Creamy hay and grassy. well balanced and aroumatic. light tartness, bubbly and smooth. apples and peaches.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Poured a dark clear amber with a thin foamy white head. Nose is wheaty and yeasty. Earthy flavors yeasty with some dried fruit and Belgian yeast. Bitter and quite dry. Nice example of the style

Pours a dark golden orange/amber color with lighter golden burnt orange hues when held to a light source and a massive three finger creamy, pillowy white head with excellent retention, only slowly fading into a large lasting cap that coats the glass with chunks of soapy lacing. Slightly spicy aroma with lots of bready yeast and crisp light fruit notes. Slight alcohol and spice presence. Lighter end of medium body with some zesty spice up front followed by some estery crisp light fruit, especially apricot, apple, pear and grape. Slight alcohol sweetness but no warmth making it pretty quaffable. Subtle hops and slight biscuit malt provide nice balance with a slight dry finish.

I had this beer on tap at Asheleys bar in Ann Arbor, MI tonight with my friend BeerBaron617. It was an either or between this and a Jolly Pumpkin, and considering the Jolly they had on tap was a stout, I went with this one. I we checked the rating before ordering, and only a 78, well... I must say, it is not a great rating!!! I really enjoyed this beer. I wont comment on the looks of it because it was dimly lit in the bar and you never know how someone else pours a beverage....however, the taste was amazing. Very fruity, very tasty! I really would like to have this again!

Tap. After finally figuring out which beer this was, because all they called it was the brewmaster’s reserve, but there are three of those. Enjoyed this beer but would call it average.
