Feb 14, 2008 On tap at Orlando Brewing. Pours a translucent golden amber with a creamy white lacing head. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel, something a little funky, Belgian yeast, tobacco and mixed citrus. Flavor of Belgian yeast, mixed citrus, spicy notes, Cheerios, some banana and lemon.

Mar 12, 2008 Pours clear copper with creamy off white head. It has a very mild aroma hinting at lightly roasted malts and not much else. The flavor is much bolder than the aroma indicated. I get roasted malts, Belgian candi sugar and some caramel. I get some malt astringency that plays very nicely against the malty and candi sweetness and the dark fruity esters that follow which float notes of prunes and dates. Excellent medley of flavors that go well together.

Mar 1, 2007 FBG07. Yeast sour nose, some malts come through after a little white. Golden with thin patchy white head. Opens sour, settles into hop balance. Crisp drinkable palate. Surprisingly good.

Jun 3, 2007 Hefeweizen properties. Banana and orange peel in smell, taste. Some spices, decent backbone. Nothing to take my shirt off over. Drinkable little beer.

Apr 14, 2007 Draft... Clear amber ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Vinous, fruity aroma with addtional notes of caramel and steamed grain. Nice little malt bomb, this one... sweet flavor with lots of crystal/caramel malts. Full-bodied and oily with fizzy carbonation. Sweet, then dry finish. Sort of complex for an amber as I found a few fruity esters in the nose and flavor. Oh, I hadn’t read the commercial description until just now. I guess the Belgian yeast would have something to do with this brew’s complexity... complex for an amber ale, that is.
