UPDATED: NOV 15, 2005 750 mL capped bottle (best before 01 APR 2003, sampled 15 NOV 2005): very promising release of carbonation as I pry off the cap…small fluffy white head that quickly subsides into a thin, but persistent creamy head, fed by several consistent streams of bubbles. Effervescent yeasty aromatics with sweet, though slightly musty doughy biscuits and strong vanilla icing notes. The bright, clear yellow gold body turns bronze as I progress through the bottle. The body is full, with a wonderfully elegant and strong tingling carbonation. Sweet, vanilla icing coated sourdough flavours along side sour yeasts and musty pale malts. A bit more subtle and well rounded than my previous sample, but missing the surprise and onslaught…great in its own way. 8/4/8/5/17 – 4.2

[330 mL capped bottle, 2003 version: Deliah’s Chicago, (vintage beer tasting, Feb ‘04)]: Hazy straw with a starched white ring of head. . . large, almost ominous grapefruit aroma with interesting straw and wheat streaks. Astringent and bitter, but not over-powering until after wonderful sweet doughy yeast wraps the tongue; the only defense you have against this fabulous onslaught! 9/3/8/4/16 – 4.0

Bottle poured a hazy yellow with a lasting white head. Aromas of straw, yeast, pear and light pineapple. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of cookie, yeast, citrus asnd light pear with a smooth lingering fruity finish.

Bottle. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Some yeasty notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Some yeasty notes. Average mderate bitter finish. Creamy palate.

Pour is a dirty blond with a small white head. Aroma is a apple cider with a strong yeastyness. Flavor is citrus fruity and a nice fresh hop. Finish leaves some mild sweetness with a little bite of tartness. This was a good beer a month past its prime but for $2 outta the bargan bin this was a nice find.

Pours a light golden yellowish color. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some pepper. Flavors are sour, yeasty, and a touch of sweetness at the finish.

bottle in a pint glass - pours honey in color with white foam and light lacing. Nose is yeast, caramel malts, old-time-y fruit and a certain nuttiness. Aroma is maltier than the smell. Taste is sweet. Finish is a bit dry. texture is oily. Refreshing. Underwhelmed.

Smell fruit, apple, orange, yeast, Taste is a fruity fresh mix of green apple, yeast, light cutrus, hops, herbs, light sweet and a bit more bitter, fresh, some grains and a hint of pear and a light soapy hint.
