Mar 11, 2009 PPWD Show. Not as nice as the blue stripe so doesn’t stand out as well in my mind. I do remember it was quite drinkable but will have to drink it again to really remember and note it’s hightlights.

Mar 5, 2009 750ml bottle; monster white head with a tint of cream; slight hop and fruit aroma; big alcohol taste in the back; made me feel as if I was drinking liqueur; got a little better as the temperature increased; another slow drinking beer for me. (#11)

Mar 3, 2009 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle (2008 vintage) and served in a tulip. This beer poured a pale straw yellow with a light cloudiness and a two-finger thick head of off-white foam that slowly settled. A small amount of slippery lacing was left around the glass. The aroma included a whiff of fresh grassy hops, spicy yeast, light sugar, and floury dry bread. The hops were not as prominent in the flavor. Just a light grassiness. The flavor was moderately sweet with a fair amount of sugar and a lingering herbal sweetness. Also a bit yeasty and bready along with some light pear notes. The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied and had a moderate amount of lively carbonation. It starts off with a nice aroma, but the sweetness starts to become mildly annoying. Not really my thing.

Feb 12, 2009 750 mL bottle, 2008. Pours golden with a gigantic off-white head with some of the most solid lacing I’ve ever seen. The aroma has a nice orange-blossom note at the fore, with some honeyish malt and some floral hops. The flavor is very orangey with lots of sweet malts behind it. There are lots of floral nuances throughout, and a warm, yeasty finish. The alcohol is evident, but not intrusive. Not bad.
