3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle, at Copenhagen Beer Celebration. It pours an unclear, golden-orange body under a minimal-sized off-white head. The aroma is citrusy with hints of fresh cut wood. Sweetish too. Except for the wood, a quite boring aroma. The flavor is spiced and citrusy, with sugary sweetness tending towards canned fruit syrup, bitterness showing up towards the end. Warming, full-bodied and creamy in the mouth. Although a bit warming and dull, it’s certainly a nice beer. 120511

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750mL bottle. Poured cloudy medium orange with a dense, well-retained off-white head. The aroma picked up cloves, grapefruit, lemon, and black pepper over bready notes.. spicy citrus and peppery boozage on the back of the nose. The flavor opened a touch sour with grapefruit and woody notes leading.. floral notes, white pepper, and dank, Brett-like notes around.. finished very dry and a bit warm, with lots of floral and spicy notes. Medium-bodied and dry as mentioned on the palate.. filling carbonation.. a bit tacky and messy in the end.. solid overall.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle shared at the March tasting in Santa Cruz. Well I guess we shoulda known from the reviews.... This bottle gushed like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Explosive foam spray all over the room. Maybe a couple inches of beer left in the bottle afterward. The beer itself? Kinda banana-y, caramel-y. Belgian and sweet tasting. Not saison-ish at all. I don’t know.
