Aroma of apple, cinnamon, light honey, and mustiness. Flavor of apple, yeast, pear, white grape, and light citrus. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 10, 2008 750 CC bottle from PUB’N. Pours turbid deep gold toward orange with 3-finger uniform, creamy white head. Huge cork pop and that lovely smokey waft upon cork pop. Great sticky concentric lace rings. Nose is rock sugar, yeasty spice, florals, peppery and hopcitric notes. Tastes rock sugar and syrupy apricotty at first, with backup hopcitrus, some honey, spicy peppery notes, and a hefty, fairly complex palate. This one is good, not great. The first half is a 3.7, the repour a 3.0, for the 3.3 average, as it gets hot late and falls apart a bit. egajdzis (3598), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 27, 2008 Poured a murky golden color with a thin, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, vanilla, honey, toasted malts, spices, and coriander. Taste of more coriander, vanilla, citrus fruits, green apple, white grapes, pils malt, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. TomDecapolis (3127), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2008 Thanks to weeare138 for sharing this bottle. Pours a hazy golden/orange with a bunch of floaties and a bubbly white head...gusher alert!

WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 14, 2009 750ml bonus from hopdog. Shared at the J&J tasting with wetherl, denverlogan, giascar, lagunitasfan, toncatcher, and maybe other people, but I’m drunk. Pours gold with a bright white ring. Huge huge bread/sweet crackers nose, as soon as the cork popped. Taste is sweet and nice and citrussy, great trip for me, as I am one to openly shun most trips.
