2006. Clear golden orange with small white head. Great aroma of some sweet fruit pastry lovingly baked. Flavor to match with a nice taste of alcohol. There is a nostalgic flavor I struggled to name. Maybe of some old relatives fruit cake, or some ancestral delight like fruit soup. . . no wait, horehound stick candy! Well balance hops, a bit of bitter with the sweet. All in all an enjoyable and distinctive drink worth sharing with friends sometime.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle from 2006. Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Pine and citrus hops aroma. Well balanced, the malt and citrus hops are pretty equal. I actually thought it was sort of thin...maybe I should I took it out of the cellar before. Was still a good beer though.

Aug 9, 2008 Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma was of some spices and not much more. Flavor was also a bit spicey but mainly bland and not too much else to say.

Aug 6, 2008 Pours Hazy, medium orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is mightly malty of light bread and cereal, moderatly hoppy, grassy, heavily yeasty; bubblegum, raisins and plums. Flavor starts well balanced, sweet and grainy at first, finishes a bit more bitter, slight alcohol in the middle, clean finish. light to medium bodied, oily and livley carbonated. NICE

Aug 3, 2008 2007 Vintage. 12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy dull orange gold with a moderate off-white head that faded to a sloppy, soapy film after a quarter of the glass. Aroma of malt, honey and some grassy hops. The flavor is light malt with some bitter grassy hops at the finish. Light-medium bodied. This is a mild, timid beer that I don’t think was intended to be so. Probably not something I’d revisit.
