aerosol999 (113), Quebec, Canada Dec 11, 2006 Aroma: Light pleasant citrus aroma. Straw and hops
Appearance: Light gold with big belgian style head of foam
Flavour: Tastes of floral and spicy hops and alcohol. Light fusel alcohol character but not overpowering. A big beer that is neither dominating nor cloying. A good balance of very complex and big flavours. Finishes light on the palate.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Very carbonated giving it a prickly rather than fluffy mouthfeel.
Overall: A good balance of complex flavours, none of which dominate or are overpowering. Finishes slightly acidic.
Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Obv. awesome art work. Pours an amber body with a white head. Sweet malty aroma with lots of spices, pepper and cinnamon. LIghtly sour finish apple and orange, wonder if some brett stopped by. imadeadguy (171), From NJ, now in Clovis, California, USA Oct 27, 2008 750ml. Pour is hazy amber with tons of foamy off white head. Aromas of sweet malt, fruit, and some citrus. Flavor is sweet, smooth, and has a slight sour in the finish. Another awesome brew from HW. WeeHeavySD (2034), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Oct 9, 2008 750 via trade a ways back this bottle was burried in the back of the cellar, I know I got one from hopdog. This was a mega mega gusher, not super fast but almost non stop even after pouring a generous glass. Pours cloudy orange with a small head. Nose is sweet and vinious which matches a rich matured beer that hold a lot of character, some fruitty sweetness. Its good but not as complex as I’d like. santoslhalper (252), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 7, 2008 4 year old keg at the Earth opening. Thanks Tom! Clear copper with no head. Apple, pear, orange, and citric aroma with some berries, slight dark fruits, acidity, and ginger spiciness. The taste is crazy fruity and funky, with apples, coriander, cloves, spice, acidity, and a pleasant sour finish. Slightly flat, but aside from that, freaking delicious!! Immy (1613), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Sep 26, 2008 Capped 750, not sure of vintage. Hazed amber with a nice white head. Initially, a tannic scent dominated the nose, a tad sour, but that dissipated after awhile, becoming far less noticeable. Bready and honeylike notes, spicy flavors. May be a tad past prime, but still delish. Well done!
