fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA 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. badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA 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. JK (2945), Richfield, Minnesota, USA 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. pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA 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. Retro42 (18), St Paul, Minnesota, USA Jul 1, 2007 Shared by BadgerBen. Aroma was wheat and spices. Cloudy yellow, with a white head. Taste had notes of hops, malts, and a touch of fruit. Not bad. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Jul 1, 2007 Bottle @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours a hazy golden colorwith a white head. Has a spicy, malty and yeasty aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweet malty yeasty and fruity citrus flavor. Spicy malty finish with a long bitter aftertaste. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jun 30, 2007 Beer shared by Badgerben in 22-oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow amber brew with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of northern white pine, citrus peel, sweet barley malt and a touch of apple. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of biscuits, apples and some mild spices. Finish has a citrus bitter aftertaste. badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jun 29, 2007 Thanks for the trade, DirtyMartini! Cloudy yellow color with a medium head. Aroma of wheat and fruit. Big wheat and orange flavors with a strong bitter finish. It strikes me as a Noble hop bitterness. Not a bombastic beer, but very nice.
