UPDATED: FEB 19, 2012 (Draught) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of coriander, clove, orange peel, grain, and yeast. Flavor of green raisins, yeast, pepper, light citrus, grass, and clove with a dry finish.

GABF 2010. Pours a clear golden with a thin off white head. Aroma is slightly tart, fruity, citrus, earth, grass, leather, toasted malts, spicy and sweet with piney sappy hops. Flavor is more white pine sap, grass, hops, slight dirty doughy yeast, phenolic, crackers, wheat and toast with more fruity juicy tones in the finish. Strange beer- not great, but not horrible.

Pours a clear yellow with no head. Aroma of citrus-orange and peach with mostly orange and peach flavor with enough spice to take the sweetness from the fruit flavors. Decent beer.

From a growler from Goldtwins. Grainy, peanut aroma, slight cilantro. Nice fluffy head. Chemically, bandaid flavor. Bleh.

on tap-pours a disappearing white head and gold color. Aroma is clove, barnyard, medium/light fruit, yeast, some malt. Taste is lots of clove (too much for me), barnyard, medium/light fruit, yeast, some malt, peppery. Good effervescence.

07.12.05 Tap at brewpub. Orangish gold with big white head that fades to nil. Light and tropical. Some spice on nose. Lots of spice on palate, maybe more than the malt can handle. Lots of citrus and some pineapple. Wet finish.
