UPDATED: JAN 26, 2009 Bottle. A slightly hazy golden beer with a medium sized off-white head. Mellow citrusy nose with malt and caramel blending in. Fruity start on the flavor, mostly citrus, but also a touch of tropical fruits and canned fruits. Low on malty flavors. Some caramel and roasted notes though. Quite thin on the body, but not watery. Citrusy finish with some hoppy bitterness.Malty sweetness in the very end. A refreshing and easy drinkable beer, typical all-nighter, but far from standing out in the crowd. And the name is a bit bragging, more suited for an imperial stout than for a session-style bitter. Rating: 5-4-5-3-11-2.8. (080720)

Bottle. It pours a clear, dark golden body, topped by a finger-thick off-white head leaving some lacings. Caramel maltyness and a gentle fruity hoppyness in the aroma. Citrus and tropical fruits too. There seems to be a touch of butterscotch too. Mostly fruity in the mouth, with orange, pears and some plum. Malty sweet in the back. Some bitterness lingering. Medium, smooth mouthfeel. Low on co2, like a casked beer that was opened yesterday. The beer slides down easily and sure doesn’t taste bad, but it somehow resembles a limonade or soda drink. (081108)
