Bomber poured into Belgian style tulip glass. Cloudy orange color with thick white head. Very good head retention with good lacing. Sour orange aroma. Toasted malt flavor with a mild sour orange hint at the back end. Sour blended very well to balance out this beer.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 orange with an amber, though the longer it sits the less amber hue it seems to have. Nice creamy head at the start ends up settling in clusters around the edges. Mild funk in the aroma, sweet oranges. The welcomes you as you take you sip and then comes the sweet. Caramel malt with some banana, some pear, something citric. Medium bodied, kinda creamy, but crisp. Dry finish. A very nice beer and at $5.99 a great deal.

22 oz poured into New Belgium globe glass. Light amber / honey color with great clarity. Thin white head and fine, vigorous carbonation. Musty aromas include sour apple and other fruits, with some floral notes. Mouthfeel is watery, but sports flavors of apple, citrus, and some spices. The finish is classic brett – sour but dry. Not my preferred style, but a really nice offering that gives me the urge to sit down with a nice cheese board and some smoked sausage.

Aroma- Some citrousy, spiciness, but not a whole lot of aroma.
Appearance- Beautiful hazy orange, tiny white bubble head.
Taste- Definitely citrous up front. Some spiciness in the middle and finishes pretty dry.
Overall- Drinks really well. Flavors could have been a little bolder, but overall, a good pick up.

Bottle, pours orange with a nice white head. A good brad dough flavor balanced with a citrus character.

2005..are we doing that with this beer? I’ll start by saying that I’ve looked forward to this one each year since first buying it. As with most NB beers (I haven’t had La Folie), I find that I slam dunk (dump?) the thing into their own "worthy" glass to attain any head at all, let alone the two finger’s width their website advises one to acheive. Not to worry though, by my own admission I like the brewery enough to have purchased said glass. Anyway, this white head I struggled to create, dissipated quickly leaving me to taste this year’s batch. Wheaty aroma with an orange zest highlight. Very full body, which is quite pleasing. Tastes of citrus and a bagel with cream cheese? Sounds funny, but that’s what I’m getting here. This one is always fun and worth the purchase.

Good solid beer.....like the spices and the strong flavor. Not my favorite beer but I like it.

One of my favorites, and maybe New Belgium’s best. One of the best tasting beers out there. Hopefully New Belgium brings it out this Spring or else I’m gonna lose it.

Pours golden with a white head that holds for a minute or two. smells of malt and some fruityness. runs well over the tongue with a good medium carbonation. good malty and fruity taste with a bready/fruity finish. very good beer next time i am going to let it sit in my cellar a bit longer.
