Bottle 0.75 l. Hazy golden with firm head. Sweet fruity nose. Fruity, malty and a bit acidic flavor. Vanilla and cream maybe, yeast. Somewhat mixture of a lager and a belgian tripel. Interesting and surprisingly good food companion. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Gets a bit boozy when warm.

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2007 Pours like sparkling cider with fluffy light head. Nose is bitter, but the flavor is not bad at all, with a touch of sweetness. I’m really surprised at the low score, as this was a pretty good beer, but lacking in the flavor. It hides the % well. It was a bit pricey though, as I am probably one of the only suckers that paid full price for it.

0,75 l bottle.
Poured cloudy opalescent pale straw with a medium foamy white head that collapses quickly and diminishes to a small lacing one. Moderated one with a light aroma of fructose and honey, rice, sourish yeasts. Medium bodied one, light fruity character of alcohol, grains and rice, moderated flavor, sourish yeasts, lurking hops.

0,75 l bottle courtesy of Armando629, thanks! Olyan sárga színe van, mint egy jól megcitromozott teának, vékony, fehér buborékos habja van, ami gyorsan de nem nyom nélkül tűnik el. Illata enyhén citrompótlós, pilsesen vizes lópokrócos és malátás. Íze citrusos, malátás, édeskés és nagyon enyhén komlós és élesztősen fanyar. Nem túl testes, igen szénsavas és eléggé érezni benne a magas alkoholtartalmat. Utóíze édeskés és egy kicsit savanykás. Érdekes egy sör, de nem lett a kedvencem...

rocbyter (1473) - Waterbury, Connecticut, USA - SEP 2, 2008
light grain aroma with hints of fruity yeast. Hazy yellow color with a large white head that quickly diminishes. Mild sweet malt beginning that fades in the finish. Chewy palate.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 24, 2009
Golden yellow with next to no head. Aroma of fruit, pale and sweet malts and perhaps a touch of lemon. Taste of toasted malt, mild fruit and sweet malt. Body is very effervescent and ends up with a semi peppery finish.

75cl bottle. Hazy and orange in colour with an ample but brief white head. Sweet, very malty and fruity aromas. Thick and syrupy with plenty of spicy malts. Crisp, dry finish. Nothing exemplary but rather quaffable.
