Bottle at Funky Buddha/Case and Keg tasting. One of my least favorite beers of the night. A cloudy yellow with a hint of orange color. Aroma is weird. Herbs, earthy tones, old wood...not good. Flavor reminds me of a macro lager. Just bitter and really poor.

20070729 Tap at Ebenezer’s. Bronzed golden color with sudsy white head, not at all attractive. Herbal aromas, a bit musty. Very oaky, chardonnay vinous, dominant wood. Palate is slick with a long sweet, herby finish.

Winter Welcome Toronto. Aroma of spicy fruit, apricot in colour, pours a good sized fading white head. Taste is citrus, malt, light bodied., drying. Quite nice.

Cloudy straw colored with medium white head. Aroma of light spice and malt. Flavor of apricots and orange. Interesting, and better than most Italian brews.

Bottle 330 ml, Appearance: murky brown with green tint, bright white snowy cap. 3+ Aroma: sweet with light zest, flowery aroma, spiced ending with something extra (chimetto?). Finish with touch of green apple. Flavour/Palate: fruity tartness, mellow texture , spiced fig like finish. Mild bitterness on top. Interesting in Italo-wave style.

The aroma is malty and yeasty with spices, citrus, fruit in general, and grass. The appearance is golden and cloudy with a foamy head. The palate is thin but smooth. Overall it’s a really good beer.
