Mar 12, 2009 500ml bottle at Rose & Crown for $17 (OUCH!). Hazy brown color with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, toffee, and some fruity notes. Flavor is malty with sweet caramel, English hops, and dark fruits. Nice medium-full, creamy palate. Good but a little overpriced.

Mar 6, 2009 Bottle... Hazy orange ale with a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Terrific retention. The aroma is a malty swirl of toffee and caramel. Full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and tickling carbonation. The initial flavor screams caramel malt; however, 2007’s version is heavily bittered as well - medium sweetness and heavy, metallic bitterness. Finishes bitter-sweet, but then there’s a lingering bitterness that seemingly lasts forever. Muchos kudos to bu11zeye for floating this baby my way!

Feb 21, 2009 16.9oz bottle. Pours a semi hazy orange amber with a 1 finger creamy off white head. Great retention and some decent lacing. Aromas of honey, caramel malts, some fruity notes, and sweet malt. Flavor is sweet up front with dark fruits, sweet malts, caramel, and a decent bitter finish. Palate is smooth and creamy. I was at first pretty underwhelmed with this offering, but as the glass grew emptier I started to enjoy it a lot more. It is just a well balanced nicely crafted beer.

Feb 8, 2009 #25953 bottle lcbo. - never rated it fresh so here we go at 1.5 years old. Clear med orange pour with notable viscosity and fine carbonation with reeeealy fine head. Aroma interesting subdued slight barnyardy malts Taste something like - BRETT? Very creamy almost cola/creamsoda taste and body, assertive hops, and the Orval-like brett leans back a little, lending to a very impressive overall display of harmonized flavors. Spicy woody and barely a hint of natural rubber. This is very good enjoyed in tiny sips Veritablle proof that the finest of beers equal any great wine.
