mcbackus (684), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Nov 27, 2008 bottle:pours a light haze dark gold colour with a decent white head. aroam is still ok too with the age, sugary malts, and a decent grain, slight pepery yeast. flavour is a little peppery with plenty of yeast adn grian flaovur. Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 31, 2008 A long time display bottle for the artwork. Pours a hazy golden body. Spicy hoppiness. Lots of fruit apricot, pear, citrus, and sweet sugar cane. Still had this tart finish to it. GodOfThunder (160), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 22, 2008 Thanks mcbackus! I got the bottom of the bottle, so it was a super-cloudy gold color with some brown chunks. Mmmm... The smell was of tart western apples and vanilla cookies with a slight alcohol kick. The flavors are similar. Vanilla cookies and apples and just a bit of sour. Overall, it wasn’t that pretty at the bottom of the bottle, but it tasted good. Beerlando (1460), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 21, 2008 Courtesy mcbackus. Pours a hazy, glowing, golden straw color. A small, frothy, cream colored head leaves wet, micro-spot lacing on the glass. The aroma shows sweet pale malts, candy sugar, golden raisons, and a hint of tangy apricot. Flavors follow suit, sweet up front from the candy sugar and golden fruits, but slightly sour on the back end from the young apricot note. Not much in the way of hops going on here. The mouthfeel is substantial, with a fizzy carbonation that has lasted all this time. It’s a nice brew overall. Not really my style, but the hint of sourness saves it. joshwilfong (559), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 16, 2008 reddish golden with white head. flavor of malt with some nice depth, no discerning hop presence but well balanced with some spicyness. a nice version of a belgian although it doesn’t really fit a tripel or dubbel style. an enjoyable beer
