Jul 14, 2007 Draft at Carlsbad Pizza Port. Aroma similar to a hefeweizen or wheat beer, but not that much sweet flavor. It was somewhat disappointing.

Jul 14, 2007 On tap at Carlsbad location; for the style this was pretty good, but tasted alot like a higher alcohol hefe. Lots of banana/yeast and clove; a little vegetable element. Pretty malty as well.

Jul 14, 2007 Bottle at beerbistro. Golden body with a smallish white head and a touch of lacing on the glass. Toasty malt in aroma with an odd note I have smelled before but cannot place it - spice? coriander?. Light boozey notes. Flavour of the same unnamed aroma note. Dry spicy alcohol in the finish lingers. It is a nice example of the style, but it starts to grate on me just a little as the glass warms up. Average palate.

Jul 13, 2007 750 ml. bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a medium head. Very tart aroma, almost like sour apple candy. Flavors of yeast and earthiness, with a nice creaminess.

Jul 13, 2007 750 ml bottle. Granny Smith apples from the aromas off this golden yellow slightly hazy pour. Decent head the whole way through. Flavors not at all tart like the aromas suggested. Much more earthy and spicy. Some lemon zest, and then a very nice finish. Pretty good stuff.

Jul 11, 2007 On tap at Pizza Port. Hazy golden with a foamy white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, honey, and fruit. Semi-sweet citrus taste with some biscuity notes, a hoppy bitterness, and a dry finish.

Jul 11, 2007 Nice packaging; interesting label. The beer is orange. Aroma has light spices, almost a yeasty, barnyard weirdness but not quite, because it doesn’t smell sour enough. Flavor is surprisingly sweet for a biere de garde, and has considerble yeast. Also very malty, and probably the thickest and heaviest beer I have had in this style. Finish is sweet malt with wild herbs and spices.

Jul 7, 2007 Updated: Dec 18, 2007bottle....very nice on a warm day here in chicago.....aroma: wheaty with pretty assertive orange notes. as the citrus diminished, this gave way to more of a sweet malty backdrop.....appearance: hazy orange brown and pure white head that stuck around for awhile....taste: bready/wheaty with a medium creamy body. little citrus and some spices to boot.
