omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 4, 2002 Orange coloures, hazy. Fruity, sweet. Big apricot aroma. Medium bodied. Well balanced, but I don’t like apricots a lot... Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jun 17, 2001 Hazy amber; strong alcohol and yeasty flavours; cinammon and pepper. Good complexity, and I think better than the sum of its parts. argo0 (6284), Washington DC, USA Jul 13, 2005 (341ml bottle) Pillowy big white head atop a murky golden body. Aroma is moderately sweet, yeasty spicy, fruity (lemon, peach), herb. Taste is moderately sweet, lemon tart, spicy yeasty, light banana. Fairly pungent as well, as it took me a sip to adjust my palate. Light-medium body, somewhat acidic. Rastacouere (5418), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Aug 22, 2003 Hazy orangey yellow body with a monster head (irregular bubbles that leave very fast)that can't be controlled and it took me 4 tries to finally empty the bottle in a fin du monde glass (plenty of space for a 12oz). Spicy and fruity aroma of pepper, coriander, bananas, orange and especially peach. The taste is similar, but doesn't quite hold up to the promised complexity the nose suggested. It remains pleasant, probably my favorite product from this brewery, like chewing a big malty fruit. hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 26, 2007 341ml bottle acquired in trade (I think with sammy). Gusher alert. This one was so bad, I had to pour out the entire bottle in glasses. Poured a cloudy / murky orangish color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of fruits (pears and apples), spices, caramel, and light cardboard (not overly distracting though). Tastes of green apples, spices, toasted caramel, and lightly funky. With the gushing, I expected this one to be completely lost, but it wasn’t.
