NEPA case split from Joe L. Dangerous (well hidden alcohol). It seems like an easy sipper with a nice floral aroma with some banana esters up front. (aroma beats flavor as far as fullness) The sip has some light citrus, malt, spices, and syrup. Swirl this one around and the alcoholic burn finally becomes evident. So does the complexity which isn’t obvious on the first sip-the malts become more pronounced, adding an almost woody cork like layer to the beer. It doesn’t seem thich and full for this style but it has a nice medium finish with enough carbonation to maintain an effervescent tone. At first I thought bland but was awakened when I explored it more. But this did not hold up in the long haul.

Aug 7, 2008 Pours with a fluffy full slightly off white head. Aroma is slightly weaker than it should be...slightly acidic, with diacetyl notes, some banana, little clove. Appearance is spot on, looks like it came straight off the farm (even though the brewery isn’t on one I believe). Flavor is moderate at first, then bites with much citrus and banana. Leaves a decent palate, could be a little stronger. Not bad overall!

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle shared at BCTC 2008. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty and bready but has a slight citrus hop nose and some fruitiness. Flavor has more spice and pepper notes then the aroma but also lots of yeast and grain as well. Very fizzy strong carbonation on a medium bodied brew. Overall I liked this one, I liked it a lot.

Jul 30, 2008 In italiano. Presa a Gavi al Cafè Cantante che canta Dante. Infatti i camerieri recitavano la COmmedia. Pesante, si sentono tutti gli 11 gradi, che è più o meno la temperatura di questa stanza grazie al mio nuovo condizionatore ;) Non sono riuscito a finirla e neanche il mio misterioso amico. Questo è il risultato di fare le cose senza pensarci prima.
