Oct 2, 2008 We have a gusher!! Bottle pours cloudy golden color with a three finger white head. The head lasted throughout the drink and laced the glass. Aroma is mainly yeast and sweet sugar. Has a medium body with a lot of carbonation. Taste is mainly sweet sugar, yeast, and alcohol. Overall this is not a very complex brew, but is smooth and tasty all the same.

Sep 26, 2008 11.6 oz bottle purchased at Spirits Red Bank. Well when I opened this one up you would of thought it came off a paint shaker. This thing exploded like an insurgents head after getting hit at close range by a .50 sniper shot. Pours a hazy marmalade orange with lots and lots of visible floaties and an initially large foamy white head that settles into a nice white slick of head. Aroma of yeast, slight touch of alcohol, bubblegum, sugary dough, tropical fruit and fresh cut grass/hay. Medium to full bodied with super lively fizzy carbonation, some alcohol warming and a dry finish. Flavor of bread, dried fruits, champagne yeast and a touch of alcohol. Not sure if this beer needs more time or if I need gentler hands? Personally I think it’s the former not the later.

Sep 19, 2008 Absolutely stunning pour with a hazy golden hue and a brilliant and luxusious white foamy and lasting head. I cant remember seeing aprettier beer. Great mouthfeel too; allows for a slightly spiced lightly fruited brew to dance around the palate effortlessly. Not an overwhelmingly complex offering, just balanced and enjoyable. I didnt take too many tasting notes because I was simply enjoying the experience, will definately do this one again.

Sep 17, 2008 Updated: Sep 18, 2008BLAM. Careful when opening this one. Foam goes everywhere.
The color is a cloudy yellow-ish brown color with head for days, lots of carbonation, and a good amount of lacing. The smell is a little citrusy, with some nutmeg or allspice in there, covering up the faint alcohol smell in the background. Almost reminds me of a fall beer.
The taste has a little kick from the alcohol with a lot of citrus elements combined, again, with a little autumn spice. It is a little dry, too.
Overall, I really enjoyed this beer. A good kick and a nice mixture of spice.

Aug 28, 2008 Tasted on bottle as well as from draft. Older versions 7 % in 2000, and 1996, 8,2 % from 82 till 87. A very nice beer and still good after more then 20 years old. I love it
