330mL bottle: Clear orange-amber with white head. Musty aroma of fruits and nuts. Flavor is a bold, complex and very robust mixture of malts, hops and fruits. Has a lingering aftertaste similar to burnt rubber. Palate is light and water with hardly any carbonation. Good stuff, but not my cup of tea. A bottom fermented pilsener?

Jul 4, 2008 Via trade with matt7215. Thanks! This is a very good pilsener Aroma was a bit fruity with a lemon tang. Pour was a cloudy gold/near orange with a nice 2 finger white head. Taste was a little sweeter than I was expecting, but very crisp and refreshing. Bread and yeast in the front with a mouth drying hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice prickly carbonation.

Jun 22, 2008 Tasted at SDCF. Hazy golden with a foamy white head. Fruity sweet aroma and taste with a bready, belgian yeast, and a crisp semi-dry finish.

Jun 21, 2008 0.33l bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a smallish head. Strong hoppy aroma. Taste is very bitter amd very strong, but also complex. Notes of citrus, yeast and malt. Not bad.

Jun 20, 2008 Finally found a fresh bottle of this to rate. Hazy golden body with medium sized, frothy white head. The nose is well balanced blend of doughy, honey malt and earthy, herbal hops. The taste is just about perfect. Just a touch of sweetness, lots of bitterness, very hop forward with a nice taste of spicy herbs. Malts are doughy with a touch of cotton candy and honey. Finishes with clean yeast and solid, lasting bitterness. Medium body is round and smooth with moderate, tight carbonation. Brilliant. An absolute classic.
