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.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 craven5000 (66) - 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.

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.

Clear golden body with tall white head, very hoppy on the nose, super balance of malt, punch fruit notes and spice.

On tap @ La Trappe. Brings me back to the old Sharp Edge days... Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice, white head. Hoppy, yeasty aroma, as you would expect. Light body, yeasty with a hoppy finish. Bitter... A step back in time.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Skidds (252) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 2, 2008
Pours an orange/gold with a thick, foamy nicely laced white head. Aroma is quite fruity and yeasty with a hint of spices. Flavour about the same with sour and bitter notes. Great.

Bottle - Poured a darkish amber in color with a small white head that faded to a thin rim around the top of the beer. A small amount of lacing on the glass. Aroma is quite malty and heavy with Belgian yeastiness... some citrus noted as well. Flavor is very fruity... apples, pears, cherries, lemon... with a plenty of malts and some spices (coriander, of course). Slight sourness with the citrus. Finishes with a nice hop bitterness. Alcohol, although apparent as you drink the beer, is not distinct in the flavor. Arrr... I like this one...

Dark golden with a white foamy head. Yeasty aroma. Smooth creamy yeasty bread taste, hides alcohol well.
