Pours a rich, bright golden apricot color w/ a medium sized, creamy froth. Good hangtine receding to a full, sticky, downy canopy that lasts the whole drink. Aromas of sweet aged citrus rind malts. Medium full nectar w/ ample residual effers complete w/ champagne streamers. The texture is very velvety. Nice! Big stonefruit malts accompanied by a defined peachpit bittering component. Nuances of aged apriot nectar, vanilla bean, citrus rind, mild banana spice, creamy wild apples, honey, pine apple . The finish is bittered well leaving a parching effect on the palate. Overall: this brew is absolutely beautiful w/ superb lacework. With just a touch of sweetness this well balanced, complex, brew is impressive. Highly recommended.

bottle. golden yellow color. white head that remains. yeasty scent as expected. delightful beer.

Thanks to Matta for this. The pour was turbid gold with a huge frothy head that kept coming back at repours. The aroma was spicy floral, hopcitric, some cloves, apricots, and pear. The taste was pleasantly pale malty and spicy floral up front, with some mid-palate floral hop notes, and some backdoor Bretty barnyardy funk. Very complex and well balanced, this one was great as I sat in a gorgeous 80 degree day, watching my son hammer a baseball while i smoked a CAO EMS-wrapper cigar.

Very nice looking ale, slightly murky yet bright golden with a good sized creamy, thick head, great lace down the glass. Quite a good aroma, soft and lemony in aspect but with medicinal and flowery undertones. quite a nice flavour too slight maltiness to start then taken over by a great herbal spicy bitterness that lasts till near the back of the tongue then it mellows out comfortably for a smooth almost mellow finish..with lingering spice in the throat. Very good mouthfeel very "eventful". I found this an excellent ale and for a half descent price. Great summer beer.

Bottle: Dirty golden, very hazy, huge rocky white head, fantastic lacing, strong carbonation.   Dunno how this beer could appear any better.   Soft zesty citrus based aroma, very slight floral or perhaps lavender tinge.   Somewhat dull spiced start, not as floral or bright as the aroma.   A bit musty, barnish, finishing with a touch of apple or pear skin.   Somewhat of an odd duck in that aspect.   Body and mouthfeel are full to moderate.   I find this much better than Angelique or Diabolique.   I have yet to try Mystique.   I’d easily have this again.
