20071216 Bottle shared at Madness with the Moose v.2. Batch 002. Seems to be an average pale ale with an American twist. Bit of grapefruit character to the hops, not much yeastiness. Bit of a lettuce flavor, a bitterness balanced by apple sweetness.

Jul 25, 2008 750ml courtesy of BOLTZ7555. Pours clear amber with a big 3 finger off white head and great lacing. Nose is light yeast, spice and slight citrus hops. Taste is sweet malt, citrus, Belgian yeast and spice with a mild resin finish. Medium mouth feel. Interesting brew – thanks Jason!

Jul 14, 2008 on tap at brewpub. Nice belgian ale. Aroma is all yeast and malts with whiff of hops. Flavor pretty much matches the commercial description.

Jul 12, 2008 750ml bottle from ASymon13 on BA - thanks Andrew! I didn’t read the label description before pouring this one, and so I was surprised to see how brown it was. But oh what a bounty on the nose, rising cleanly from the deep earthy body and the fluffy, lasting head. Strong yeast, perky citrus hops, dry spice, subtle sugary malts. The yeast characteristics are definitely dominant, but like holdenn says below, it’s probably categorizable as a wild brown. Long papery dry finish a la biere de gardes. Extremely good.
