awiseman01 (318), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 14, 2009Bottle, shared w/ danielcurtis81. Poured in white wine glass. Stong aroma and taste. Wheat side comes through well as does the wine-like character. Taste improves immensly as this one warms. Fruit comes out well in the end. Not bad, not great. jake65 (1658), Williston, North Dakota, USA Sep 21, 2008 Bottle: Hazy orange pour with a thin head. Aroma is floral and fruity with some light spices. Tastes spicey with some bananas, esters, and cloves. A very light amount of grape. Not really picking up on any barrel notes. Sort of boring, but still ok. IndianaRed (1553), Boise, Idaho, USA Sep 20, 2008 Light ambr with a very small skin of a head. Slightly sour saison like aroma. Busy multiple angle flavor. Undefine muddy flavor profile. Modrate carbonation. Underwelming.
tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 16, 2008 Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Blankboy, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. Blood red, rusty, good sized frothy white head. Fruity aroma, some alcohol, ok. Good taste - very fruity, hoppy even, some alcohol. Lightly spiced as well. Good. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Sep 16, 2008 Updated: Sep 18, 2008Bottle. A lighter amber color then I expected from the description. First sips are overpowered by the Belgian yeasts, admittedly not my favorite to start out with. Fruity flavors build as does the sweetness. A few hints of oak but not much of the pinot comes through. greenhorn1 (458), Mission Viejo, California, USA Sep 13, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a amber with a slight pink hue to it. No head, light carbonation. Aroma is sweet with subtle hints of oak and citrus. Flavor is complex, oak, wine, citrus, dark fruits, etc. Creamy mouthfeel with a medium body. Slight alcohol presence. Nice sipping beer. cmillward (419), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 5, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of redlight. Pours a slightly hazy red/amber with a thin white head that quickly faded to the edge. On the nose strawberries, sweet, wine and sugar. Flavor is quite sweet, some grapes, wine and some grape skin tannins are apparent in the aftertaste. A little thick in the mouth. Overall impression is very sweet and heavy. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Sep 5, 2008 Pours a decent hazy apreicot hue with a decent off white head. The nose is all kinds of sugars and a touch of yeast. The flavor goes way sweet with honey and too much sugar, even for my sweet tooth.
