Bottle. An orange beer with a fantastic light orange head. The aroma is fantastic: it is maltsweet with notes of alcohol, fruit, oranges, corriander, and cinnamon - a wonderful nose. The flavor too is fantastic - it starts with a nice maltsweetness containing notes of oranges, fruit, corriander, cinnamon, and alcohol. In the end, the alcohol sting your tongue, before it leveaves you with a sweetness that lingers on your tongue and lips. It has a very nice palate. This is a great beer.

On tap at the Rake: Crazy lemony sweet on both the nose and tongue. It is a bit like squash overall. Some richness but no bite. All a bit childish for me.

Defreni (1779) - Husum, DENMARK - JUN 11, 2009
Flaske: Flot uigennemsigtig øl med et flot skumhoved. Dejlig sødlig duft af frugt og gær. Flot karboneret og frisk i smagen. Igen frugt og en smule gær. Virkelig en fantastisk øl,

On tap at Vintage Estate. Pours a hazy gold with funky grass and a little lemon in the nose. Flavor is pretty similar, but alcohol is surely there.

The commercial description hits the nail on the head...if you like golden ale or spiced ale you will like this beer.

pepsiedcan (1041) - The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA - JUN 5, 2009
On tap at the sanctuary Iowa city. Shitty iPhone rating number 6425. Hazy gold pour with a nice sized white head. Aroma is candi sugar and floral hops. Flavor is up front fruity, mainly apple and pears. Some spices come through, but I can’t quite figure out what. Finished on the sweet side, nice carbonation. Dry this out a bit and I’d really like it.

Bottle. Liked this more than the Mc Chouffe. Would be interested to possibly letting this sit to see if the flavor matures in a good way. But a great beer with good aroma and very good flavor eight percent doen’t even effect it.

MrGGen (300) - ITALY - JUN 3, 2009
UPDATED: JAN 23, 2010 Colore arancio scuro,abbastanza velato e nebuloso.Schiuma abbondante e cremosa, ottima persistenza. Aroma fresco e floreale, molto complesso e speziato,note di buccia d’arancia, caramello, zucchero, coriandolo e chiodi di garofano, eccezionali al naso.Il sapore fruttato, molto fresco e deciso. Lungo e dolce il finale.Ottima.
