Bottle at RBSG tasting. Pours orange gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus, honey, and some alcohol. I like the attenuation on this one. Flavors of orange and lemon with subtle accents of dry leafy herbs. Finish is dry and slightly bretty. Nice.

750 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium off white head. The aroma is spicy citrus, floral, sweet bready caramel malt, and yeast. The flavor has much of the same: a bready caramel malt backbone with floral and citrus hops. The Belgian yeast and slight alcohol round things out. Medium bodied with a slightly dry finish.

Bottle, sampled March ’09. Light gold, fluffy white head. Nose is honey malt, some yeast, a little grapey funk. Flavor is a bit "old" for lack of a better description. Slightly raisiny malt, yeast, nice enough bitterness. Flavor is flat & one dimensional overall though.

From a bottle poured a light brown with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a slightly sour finish.

Pours light golden color. Sour apple aroma, very subtle, not overpowering. Very carbonated. Nice sour apple, caramel taste. Finishes dry and bitter, Very nice.

Crushed with CaryTheDude and JakeBra. Orange pour with a big white head. Great big, fruity, leathery aroma. Brett is apparent. Flavor is fruity, a bit citrusy. Hoppy, but a bit too sweet. Regardless, I’m digging it. Pretty good for a random collaboration, and a random pickup.

Hoppy, grassy, sweet and spicy in the aroma. Pours golden blonde. Piney, with hints of citrus, sweetness, hints of brett like flavors. I wonder if this will sour up in some time? Nicely carbonated and easy to drink for 8.5%.

Cloudy amber pour with a frothy white head. Ripe fruit and honey aroma. Tastes Like slightly tart fruits and feels very smooth.
