Pours a hazy coppery orange with a moderate off-white head that is somewhat creamy and leaves a layer of dense film after each sip, lasting to the bottom of the glass. Pleasant aroma of yeast, some light spice and a bit of sweetness. The flavor is malt, yeast, spice, orange and a bit of sugary sweetness. Very nice beer that went down way too easily! emacgee (1864), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 30, 2008RBSG 2008. This sample was much better then my previous. Much cleaner, with less yeast floating around like a stew. The flavors all came out cleaner giving a nice citrus tart finish.
OBF 2008. Interesting beer, but it didn’t come together for my liking. Strange apple cidery flavor, estery, but almost a rotting fruit sort of note to it. Flavor was very muddy and yeasty tasting, like it was mixed up. The fruity flavors and spiciness in the finish just didn’t mix well for me.
