The aroma has caramel, malt, yeast and spicies. The flavor is very thin with malt, yeast spicies a bit of dark fruit and caramel.

2008 bottle, pours a dark muted golden color. Aroma is lightly spicy, light hay, just light all around and a bit saison-like in general. Also, some very faint burnt orange malts. Taste is a bit "blah" with a seltzer and water-y fruit finish. Very light and definitely easy drinking. I was not impressed but I could definitely drink a whole lot of this because it was very light without being overall y watered down.
33cL bottle, Southampton snifter.

Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - cloudy straw-colored beer - smells of light grain, pale malt, tangerine, melon, light spices - quite pleasant in the nose - mild doughy character in the flavor, with subtle earthy tones, spices, and a faint wheat flavor - a wee bit of citrus arrives late - subdued, but quite nice.

[1138-20080229] 330mL. Lightly spicy flower petal aroma with some mellowed wheat. Clear, light brown orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Mild golden toasted malt flavour with some wheat throughout. Medium body. Nice, repeatable, mild.

A beautiful unfiltered brew that had the color of a dirty cheerleader; Lt blonde and hazy. Aromas of peach carmel, rasin and fig with beautiful yeastiness like fresh sourdough bread!. Very very clean on the palate. nice yeastiness again with hints of fig and carmel apple. Gorgeous! Thank you Skyview!!
