Bottle from Capone’s. Pours turbid canary with 3-finger clingy off-white head. Nose is floral hops, funky cobwebby yeasty light skinned esters, peppery spice. Tastes of big funky candi sugary malt, pineapple, florals, peppery notes. Complex palate, and a delight to behold.

Strong, malty aroma has a decided woody, bourbon overtone that is clearly from the barrels in which this was aged and a firm, somewhat sour fruity note. It pours a slightly hazy solar yellow with a thick, fluffy and rather persistent snow-white head. Flavor is rich and fruity, having pear and sour orange components with a strong but not fierce alcohol bite from the bourbon. Firm, lively texture is quite fizzy and sassy, leaving a satisfying sour orange and malty finish with a decent tingle.

A - Hazy golden-orange with a big finger of frothy white head. Fades slowly. S - Oak, vanilla, wine, tart green fruits, Belgian yeasts, some grainy malts, lemon zest, citrus hops, a bit of booze. T - Oak, wine, vanilla, tart green fruits, grainy malts, some Belgian yeast, lemon zest, mild spices, some citrus hops, a touch of bitterness, and a bit of booze. M - Medium bodied with moderate-heavy carbonation. Smooth with a sweet, warming, and lightly dry finish. D - Great balance. The barrel aging really comes through nicely.

Bottle at Monks. Hazy orange pour with a big pillowy white head. Huge aroma of orange bubble gum. Peach taffy. Orange zest. Apricot. Honeydew. Nectarines. Green grapes. Some floral notes as well. Softly sweet with maybe a touch of sour. Finishes dry and oaky. Somewhat high ABV is well hidden. Well carbonated. Silky body for a Blonde. Very nice!

Bottle. Aroma has notes of white wine, Rieslings, bread, Belgian candy, citrus, dust, cobwebs and oak. Very nice nose. Hazy medium orange hue with a large white head that stuck around and left decent lace. Flavor is heavy sweet and light/medium bitter. Palate is full bodied, oily with average carbonation. Overall I really liked this brew. Great nose and above average in every other category. No clue why this one isn’t rated higher but I loved it. Bravo!

Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks. Cloudy amber - white head. Wheaty notes, fruity, wine, citrus, yeasty notes, sweetness, light to medium malty, minerals, lots of wood, light phenols, nice pleasant white wine finish.

04-NOV-2011, bottle @home, from "Fish & Beer". Very cloudy orange with lasting white head. Nose is yeasty white wine... Taste is extremely complex and changing. Green grapes, white wine, fruity, grape fruit, a touch of brett?, oranges, Weisse yeast like taste and creaminess. Quite high carbonation but small and smooth bubbles. Fantastic brew.

33 cl bottle. Pours hazy dark orange with a creamy and off-white head. Aroma is distinct mixed phenolic and wineous green fruity. Smooth wineous, rather like a mixture of fifity-fifty beer and white wine. Strange beast in which one mouthfeel is smooth fruity, the next phenolic and a final one almost astringent and then returns the roller coaster ride. Smooth fruity, wineous and phenolic smooth to mellow yeasty finish.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy gold, with a white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, flowers, spices, and a little alcohol. Flavor is very much like the aroma, but with some white wine in there too. Crisp, with a medium body. Not as sweet as I thought it would be. A bit different and enjoyable.

Pours a five+ finger light cream head that fades slowly leaving an excellent lace. Cloudy light amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Hard cider nose and flavor is tart citrus fruit. Dry finish. Higher ABV is hidden. Expensive at $13.99 for a 330ml bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.
