boFNjackson (2705) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Bottle... Poured dark golden with a white-ish head. Bread-like character with loads of yeast spice, esters, and even a hint of tartness. Burnt, toasted caramel-like malts to balance the heavy dose of yeast.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - DEC 15, 2008
VRBT. Very happy to get to try this one. Medium, hazy orange yellow. Sweet malt aroma. Full bodied, dominated by light malts, a hint of brett, and some undefined fruitiness. Nice, but nothing really leapt out at me. I wanted more oomph somewhere.

cbkschubert (2685) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - DEC 8, 2007
750 ml bottle from AJ’s (Tucson) - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger thick fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is esters, spice, and light citrus. Flavor is much of the same. Beer leaves a little bitterness and zing to the palate. Medium to full body. A good beer.

There’s a lot of phenols in this one, but it really works. Peppery, pretty dry. A little on the yeasty side. Fairly hoppy.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 25, 2007
Bottle shared with mds, HogTownHarry, blankboy and tupalev - blankboy’s bottle. Aroma - wow! Very floral, along with notes of melon, cirtus and yeast. Soft mouthfeel. Flavour starts sweet and slightly medicinal, followed by fruit notes (grapefruit, melon, pineapple), and a herbal and dry finish. Very nicely done.

ucusty (2619) - Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA - APR 14, 2009
How have I sat on this bottle for so long?... Hazy orange pour fizzy off white head and a thick drippy lace. Green apple and brett on the nose. Fruit flavor (banana) with a tarty twist. Dry finish

Bockyhorsey (2590) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAY 2, 2008
750 ml bottle. Average grainy and frutiy aroma. Cabinated gold body with a creamy white head that stayed on top of body of beer, Flavor was average for a belgiun yeasty grain and some fruit. Alright with a bitter bite and seemed to have an alcohol effect on body. Denent brew.
