CBF 2009: Yellow. Has a white head, lasting. Very hoppy aroma, herbs and grass. Flavor starts heavy sweet and finish heavy bitter. Dry texture, heavy alcohol. A bit more sharp than the reference.

(375ml bottle) Pours a hazy golden orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of lemon, vanilla, pineapple, and apricot. Flavor of vanilla, lemon, pineapple, and white grapes with a dry wood finish.

Bottle at KBH Festival, 2009. Oak, grain, hops, sweetness, warmth, blackurrant, pine and citrus. Smooth.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a hazy deep golden color with a small off white bubbly head. Notes of lemons, white grapefruit, sugar syrup, and nuts. Medium to long finish. The american oak imparts additional notes of honey and smoke.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, golden in color, and has an off white head. The smell is wood, fruits, light, and ok. The taste is vanilla, wood, fruits, more woody than the french.

11.2 oz bottle from Perfect Pour. Pours hazy dark orange with large fizzy white head. Aromas of oak, vanilla, yeast, some hops, and caramel. Flavors of oak, vanilla, grassy hops, and some yeast. Would have liked to try the base beer to compare to but not at this price point. Kind of a bland IIPA to be BA offering.

bottle at dak’s 8/14/10 i blind guessed this one correctly! same color as the french but without the clumps. there are additional notes of peppery spice and smoke attached to the base beer. it is the sweetest of the three and my least favorite.7/4/6/3/15/3.5-

tasting on 8/20/11. deep orange pour with a 1-2 finger white head. aged hop nose with caramel - again not picking up any oak. sweeter malt mouthfeel with citrus notes. semi-dry finish with light fruits. so far, I’m having a hard time getting any oak out of this series. I don’t think 7 days is long enough for the oak aging.
