A hazy golden ale with a thick lacing off white head. An interesting doughy and yeasty aroma, with citrus notes, honey and fruity esters. In mouth, a good creamy mouthfeel, with vanilla fudge, coriander and curacao. Rich, creamy and intense. Bottle obtained around 2007. Tasted with Probstk, Jan 11 2009.

2 year old keg at Earth. Brilliant gold with a huge white head. Apple,spicy, bretty aroma with lots of complexity. The taste reminds of of orval with lots of grass, lemon, pepper and brett. Aged beautifully.

Aroma of apple, hay, dust, yeast, spice, maybe some grassy sweetness. Hazy dark orange with a thin white ring around the edges of my tulip. Green apple, spice, yeast, biscuit sweetness, a little grassy lemon pepper bitterness in the finish. A touch of alcohol comes through. Pretty enjoyable, I wonder how old it is?

12oz bottle. Yeast heavy aroma. Apple skin and cider, honeyed malt, cinnamon. Slightly grassy, earthy and herbal. Pours a thick, hazy dark gold with a resilient white head. Flavor is dominated by loads of yeasty esters. Dried, earthy malt. White pepper. Cut grass and hay. Simple, crisp and refreshing. Overbearing and mouthfilling carbonation. Finishes grainy and dry with a touch of banana yeast esters. Thanks John!
