Small sample at OSLO and Guerde’s tasting on Friday, 5-23-08. Pours a cool, hazy, dark gold. Very good, cream-like, floral aroma of buttered wheat biscuit and vanilla, as if it had been aged in a bourbon barrel. Flavors of biscuit and green apple. The taste is sweet, perhaps a bit too sweet. Medium body. I was one of the only people at the tasting who liked this beer.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a copper orange color without a head. Nose is dates, caramel, and nice freshly ground malt. Taste is a little bit like a watery mix of strawberries and cantaloupe that has sat out. Medium mouthfeel. Odd.

Oct 22, 2008 Bottle at bu11zeye’s. Pours with a tight, off-white head and a golden hue body. Good lacing. Aroma of rotten fruits and cereal. Taste is cantalope, strawberries, and a bit of lime (’’a fruity fuck’’ as Lumpy called it). Light bubbles.

Oct 2, 2008 Gold with a decent plush head. Mild Belgian aroma and flavor. Bready notes. Drinkable and mildly flavored for the style. Ok, but not too memorable.
