markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Dec 30, 2008 Not what I expected. Pours a dark hazy yellow with an off-white head. Nose is yeast, citrus, straw, pepper, and barnyard. Flavor is yeast, pepper, and citrus. A bit heavy in the mouth, the yeast hangs around with peppery bitterness. It straddles the line between golden, saison, and tripel with characteristics of all. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 28, 2008 Clear golden with a medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with yeasty notes. Somehwat hoppy flavour with yeastyand fruity notes. Finished mild bitter. JonMoore (1561), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Hazy orange with a slim white head. Aroma has orange peel, candy malts, grassy hops and some spices. Flavours are floral hops, orange peel , candy and spices. Nice lingering bitter finish.
Medium to light mouthfeel. It is good and I am enjoying it. ajm (903), Los Angeles, California, USA Dec 25, 2008 Tap at Pap. I was very impressed. TAstes like the nicest, cleanest Pale you ever had. Faint notes of cream, hops, and sweet orange. The finish is cloudy and textured and reminds me of what Orange Blossom used to be. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 23, 2008 Updated: Dec 24, 2008Pours a darker orange golden with small fine frothy white head. Aroma isnt particularly strong, sweet candi malt, orange peel, and grassy hops, almost seems like there is some coriander in there. First taste is quite bitter, some vitamin C, grassy and floral hops, light candi malt, some orange peel, lemon-grass and yeast. Finishes quick, dryer and bitter. Lighter mouthful, soft abundant fine carbonation, very light. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Dec 23, 2008 Pours a hazy golden colour with a soapy white head that has moderate retention. The nose is pleasantly fruity, with lemon zest, earthy, grassy hops and sugary doughy malts. The flavour is zesty, lightly fruity and bready with some farmhouse tartness just barley coming through in the finish. It is pleasant, drinkable and round on the palate. The carbonation could not be any better, being effervescent only on the palate and not in the appearance. A slightly slick and full mouthfeel also contribute to create a perfectly palatable beer. The finish is crisp, with spice, zesty hops and bready malts lingering for some time. kegbear (265), Orange, California, USA Dec 16, 2008 Bottle. Liked this one a lot. Sweet fruit, lemongrass, light spice and bread. Delicious. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Dec 12, 2008 750ml bottle from the Sam-apostrophe-s in Downers Grove, IL. It pours a slightly hazed golden body with a somewhat rocky head that disappears in odd clumps. Spotty lacing. The aroma is honey sweet covered by dried lemon grass and citrus zest. Sprtitz mouthfeel. It tastes of sweet malt, herbs and warm spices, and a growing lemon zest bitterness. Not bad. Would be refreshing in warmer times.
