Dec 28, 2008 355ml bottle from Utobeer. Slight haze on orange gold beer with lasting rocky beige head. Spicy lemony hop aroma, some good yeast character and orange citrus notes. I guess a bit like a Belgian strong ale with some pretty good stinging hop on the finish. Would never pick this as an American beer. Two things stand out, one is that the over carbonation make the mouthfeel very hard, secondly its actually pretty sweet. Toffeeish in the mouth and the orange sweetness carries on through the finish. Interesting aroma, good hops on finish, but a bit too sweet for me. Solid beer, but given that there are some very good beers at Utobeer, Im unlikely to buy this again. Yeast character rather fades on finish.

Dec 27, 2008 Deep amber with a lively head. Aromas are a little floral, with a fresh grain component. A little yeast on the nose, but the beer tastes yeasty and combines spices and floral notes to good effect. Palate is unimpressive, however, as the weight of the beer and the finish leave something to be desired.

Dec 24, 2008 12oz bottle from Kahhs Fine Wine and Spirits (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a generally clear dark golden to copper color with a massive bright white foamy head. In fact, the bottle started to gush as it was opened and the proceeded to pillow out of the bottle before the head in the glass settled. Aroma is fresh grain, wheat, yeast, spice, and some hints of grapefruit, citrus, and fresh ripe fruit. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of wheat, caramel, spice, ripe fruit and candy sugar. Generally medium body with a slightly sweet malt finish.
