I don’t think this is retired. Too sweet for me. All malt flavor got boring by mid-bottle. Low carbonation but not especially drinkable because of the sweetness. Sweet aroma.

Orange color. Flavor and aroma are sour. Some sugar. I had three bottles from this brewer in one night, and all were infected.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JUL 9, 2007
"Courtesy" of Brentfreesh. Dark gold color with no head. Sour malt aroma. Tastes slightly vinegary and soured. Wow... all kinds of infection going on here.

BDR (2535) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUL 9, 2007
Thanks to Badgerben for sharing. Vaguelly sour caramel nose with a light brown color and white head. Mouth puckering sour taste with faint grain. I think there might have been an infection or a bad bottle.

jcwattsrugger (8692) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - JUL 9, 2007
12oz bottle- thanks to Joe/jwc215 and Danner-pours a thin off white head and gold color. Aroma is light/medium malt-butterscotch/English/earthy, fruity. Taste is light/medium malt-butterscotch/English/earthy, fruity, faint hops. Seems like a diactyl/bacteria influence. Drain pour, if its supposed to taste like this, I should score lower still.

Skyview (4739) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - JUL 7, 2007
From a 12-oz bottle shared by badgerben, pours a clear copperish orange brew with a quick dissolving off-white head. Aroma has citrus peel, vinegar and a touch of caramel. Taste is highly carbonated, very acidic and metalic falvor with a sour aftertaste. Finish is sour with more vinegar character. This beer has been infected. For a Flemish style sour brown ale, this beer would receive a higher rating, but not as a heller bock beer.

Kevin (1951) - Colorado, USA - MAR 9, 2007
bottle from brent. light copper body with a diminishing head. aroma is very laquerlike, weird cherry scent too. dry wall and caramel flavor. light grape note in the finish. a touch of graininess permeates this. overall a bland lawnmower type of beer.

egore (4) - Madison, Alabama, USA - FEB 7, 2007 does not count
This beer is better than earlier offerings. Low amber color with nice head retention. Malty flavor with good overall ballance. Earlier versions were somewhat fruity with a tad of diacetyl. Definitly better that what I tasted earlier.
