Derek881 (489), Frederick, Maryland, USA Dec 31, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass to drink. The beer had a clear orange-copper color with a good-sized, foamy, white head that had decent retention and good cling. A candy and toffee aroma with sweet caramel and a touch of citrus and perhaps pine hops. The taste was sweet and candy like with a bit of citrus with some underlying bitterness. A lighter, fizzy feel with a drying effect that was a little bit rough. Definitely a good beer, but not one of my favorites in this genre. michael-pollack (2606), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 30, 2008 330ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, light alcohol, yeast, slight sour apples, sweet malts, light herbs, light grass, slight pepper, and a hint of funk. Poured golden/amber in color with a medium to large-sized, rocky, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of fruit, nectar, yeast, hops, slight resin, light herbs, malts, and light grass. Medium body. Slick, oily texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, yeasty finish is a tad dry. 10.5%ABV is completely hidden. beerlady (443), lucerne, Switzerland Dec 30, 2008 golden colored slightly hazy beer with a white layer on it

Nice bitter taste with some citrus in the background. JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland Dec 26, 2008 A 0.33L bottle at Brics Inn Jyväskylä. Slightly hazy pale golden yellow colour. Mild slightly sweet nose. Mild slightly alcoholic taste. Some vinelikeness. Grass notes in the nose. White head. Soft and slightly sweet taste when getting warm. At the end some hoppy bitterness and some hints of apple. craven5000 (55), Westville, Indiana, USA Dec 21, 2008 Cloudy gold color and very very little white froath. Smooth, slick, medium body with piney and slightly citrus flavors. A bit more aggressive, sharp and lasting piney notes finish that is firm but not over powering. The alcohol did not stand out until the bottom of the glass. I enjoyed the balance of this beer. If I try another I hope will be at a slightly warmer temp. This was straight from the fridge. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Dec 17, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Musty, grassy nose. Very very earthy. Flavor is about the same. Alcohol is very apparent. High alcohol is always cool. None too good. Wouldnt get this again probably. rds (224), USA Dec 15, 2008 Clear golden body with tall white head, very hoppy on the nose, super balance of malt, punch fruit notes and spice.
