miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Dec 27, 2008 Bottled Summer 2007. Pours copper with a big frothy white head. Aroma is flowers, spice, perfume, hops and lemon. Flavor is very complex. Spicy and hop up front with some citrus zest finish. Quite dry. Interesting beer if not a favorite. watson1977 (250), , Pennsylvania, USA Dec 26, 2008 great beer...very enjoyable! thick and foamy head with great retention. i get flavors of oak and leather with just a hint of sour. sundevil27 (45), , New Jersey, USA Dec 25, 2008 Bottled on 7/5/07 and best before 7/5/2012. Poured a golden brown color with very thick head. Includes hints of fruit. Overall a pretty solid beer, but prefer others in its class. rds (224), USA Dec 24, 2008 A deep amber body with a thick beige head, the aroma is malty with notes of plum. The taste suggested more than the 6.9% ABV in mine, but it was a very smooth and steady flavor experience with a surprisingly crisp finish. An excellent ale.
LtDan (471), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA Dec 24, 2008 Updated: Aug 23, 2009Appearance: Poured slowly on a slant into my glass, and found a super monstrous foamy head flying out of the bottle and into the glass. Beneath this large head is a dark, dull gold, that lets in no light. I am amazed that this large crown of foam barely went away.
Aroma: Mild, yet very noticeable brettanomyces funk. Then some spiced green apples,and dry malt.
Taste: With a nose of funk, I didnt know what to expect. What I got was a sturdy mouthful of hops followed by a slightly funky finish. The funk included So perfectly balanced.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied and carbonated just right.
Overall: A beer made with brett that was not over the top. There were two stars of this show, and neither tried to out do one another. My hat goes off to the yeast and the hops for stealing the show. badwhale (51), Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 24, 2008 Bottle to chilled mug. Ridiculous head that lingers. VERY smooth & tasty. dry finish. dont know if I would buy a case for myself. I scored the six pack for free
bonfunck (149), Waasmunster, Belgium Dec 24, 2008 33cl Bottle in the local pub. creamy foam head.very specific taste, citrus caramel noise. very hoppy aroma and dry fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA Dec 21, 2008 Somewhat disappointing. Very mild drink - I was not expecting a big bruiser but this one seemed so weak in all categories that despite all the great, subtle components, it just seemed a little stale and plain.
