Jun 20, 2009 Draft at Birreria Paradiso. Creamy orange yeasty appearance. Thick, creamy, yeasty taste, with a touch of bitterness. Amber candi-sugar notes as well. More bitterness that your typical big Belgian ale. Very well done.

Jun 12, 2009 Pours gold with a large white head. Aroma is sweet and you get hit with the belgian yeast right up front. It also has some honey, clove, and just a bit of foot. Flavor is loaded with green apple, heavy yeast, lemons, lime rind, biscuity malts and just a bit of floral spiciness. Finishes with a nice little boozy finish, but doesn’t distract.

Jun 10, 2009 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Garthicus, Blankboy, and GregClow, courtesy of Harry. Medium yellow, small white head. Strong yeast and malt aroma. Strong taste - malty, sweet, alcohol. Too much, too strong, too syrupy - did not really work for me at all.

Jun 2, 2009 Bottle (750ml - corked & caged). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow and tupalev. Clear gold with a large-ish fizzy/creamy white head. Sweet aroma of honey, heather, alcohol and light spice. Alcohol pretty much dominates the flavour, not too sweet though, with an underlay of apple cider and an overlay of grass and mint. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel, boozy finish, light carbonation. Too strong, really - much prefer the "Blue"

May 31, 2009 2008 bottle. Pours orange-yellow with decent head, light lacing. Aroma is yeasty with hints of citrus, honey, and spice. Alcohol hits like a brick, flavor is honey sweet with cardamom, sourdough bread and banana. Tingly mouthfeel, syrupy film left behind after drinking. Solid but nothing great, the blue is much better.

May 25, 2009 With thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Light orange, large white head, lots of visible carbonation. Aroma: Sweet, musky, perfume, citrus skin, metallic sweetness. Flavour: Strongly alcoholic, bitter, lemon, disgusting under ripe orange, the alcohol presence was just too much.
HopheadHans (753), Bay Area, California, USA
May 21, 2009 Bottle, 2008 vintage. Pours with a humongous head that dissipates quickly but has good lacing. Pours with a light golden color and a slight haze. Wonderfully smooth and full mouthfeel, with flavors of dough, fruit cake, some hops and some spices in the finish. Excellent.
