The taste is fresh fruity, citrus and grapes. There is some hop bitterness. A little spices in the back. The aftertaste is a long time bitter.

Mar 8, 2009 Zythos 2009. Blond beer, very nice use of the Amarillo hops and resulting grapefuit aroma. Great bitter freshness.

Feb 18, 2009 (bottle) Pours hazy dark gold/murky orange with a small white head that sticks around and leaves good lacing. Aromas of must, basil, lemon zest, a little orange, coriander, tartness, pancake batter, and a bit of funk. Taste is rather light and subdued right away, holding a pattern of subtle apricot and honey with prickly carbonation. The finish is where most of the flavor is displayed, with a lot of bready, cracker-like yeast, bittter hops, and hints of spice. The bitterness lingers well on after drinking. Really nice contrast between mid-palate and the finish.

Feb 11, 2009 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy orange-amber with some sediment and an average size diminishing frothy white head. Aroma’s fruity and yeasty along with spices and more hops then I expected. Flavour of yeast and grassy hops along with bready malt and a spicy finish. Average bodied. Just good.

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, by bottle via trade with boutip. Cloudy amber pour, plenty of floaties, and a huge lasting whipped ice cream frothy head. Slight lemon tartness to the arom, sweet malt and waves of spicy yeast, not too dry - some grassy bitterness in there too. The taste was almost saison-like, pungently yeasty, quite grassy-bitter, not as tart as the aroma - had a very long spicy/yeasty finish. Average at best body, very astringent indeed, slightly flat on the palate, but overall while maybe a bit of a senior citizen, quite good.
