Nov 29, 2008 Updated: May 19, 2009Drank from a bottle, poured an orange color with a medium head. Smelled of citrus mostly. Tasted mostly of citrus and a little bit of caramel. Aftertaste lasted for a long time, pretty solid beer, but had a little too many flavors going on at once for my liking. Somehow found a way to be too complex for me to love.

Nov 29, 2008 300 ml bottle. 2007 edition found in Chicago. Pours a beautiful dark orange/amber with a a rather large off-white head with great retention. Aromas of orange peel, yeast, cloves, red licorice, and maybe pineapple- very complex. Taste adds some slight spicy hops, caramel malt, and retains the citrus and spicy elements. Long, dry, malty aftertaste. Truly superb.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours hazy honey amber with a 2 finger light beige head, very good retention. Aroma is yeast, citrus, licorice, plenty of spicy and citrus hops and a generally fruity tone. Flavor is much the same as aroma, though yeast tone is less prevailant and citrus notes with citrus and spicy notes take over. FInish is sweet, with anise, dried orange peel and yeasty breade rolls. Body has a slick yet astringent quality. Alcohol content seems like it would be 2-3 points higher. Great beer.
