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.

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.

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.

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.
