Bottle. Haha i have that glass in the picture and ive never used it, its so cumbersome. Pours a hazy golden orange body with a 3 finger off white head. Lightly spiced, over ripe fruit, light malt. Just didnt come together so well.

good beer, but not for what they are asking. fortunately I got this on a super markdown at bevmo, but before the discount they were asking $18.99 for a sixer!! that’s criminal. decent beer, but the pretty box shouldn’t mean you can charge whatever you want!

Bottled. Pours out in a clear amber colour with a large white foam. Metallic aroma with notes of almondy yeast and acidic red berries. Medium-bodied with notes of almonds, mild yeast, orang-peels and metal. Rather clean mouthfeel. Mild finish of metal, almondy yeast and berries.

Cloudy orange, big white head. Faint fruity or winey aroma. Kinda reminds me of 7up, actually. Flavor is cherry at first, with a nice cerary note. A little bit woody at the finish. Pretty enjoyable, actually.

Smells a little sour. Looks good. This has a surprising sour flavor to it. A nice sour coat finishes it off as well. Different for a winter ale but pretty good.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2010 Bottle. Dark amber color. A big head. Good malt, with really great hops as well. Very spicy, with caramel flavor and a strong cherry taste. A decent Belgian brune ale with just the right amount of fruity flavor and good spice as well.

Sampled at Carborro Beverage Co. Pale hazy brown with a thick fizzy light tan head. The nose was tart, acetic, earthy, fruity. The flavor had a strange fruityness to it, tart, earthy bite.

75cl, last tasted at KBF2008, not complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, hazy, good head, nice Winter brew
