I swear this smells like freshly fried Belgian fries with some Brett and oranges on them. Caramel, bready, bretta, milk chocolate mouth that is surprisingly light. Alcohol is well hidden. Hard to define style, but very enjoyable and unique.

Sampled at PP SAF. Decent head on this golden orange pour. Citrusy aromas. Belgian yeast is evident too. Not too tart in aromas or flavor. Maybe the Brett will come in a bit later. I will have to re-visit my stored bottle in about 4 months. Flavor was still a bit hoppy but with a nice malty flavor too. Pretty good.

ABUSEDGOAT (1937) - California, USA - OCT 6, 2007
UPDATED: OCT 24, 2007 Hazy orange, moderate head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is fruity, bret, some basement notes as well. Bret is very minor, more of a fruity Belgian. Interesting, enjoyable.

SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA - DEC 25, 2008
Sampled at the hellbilly holiday tasting. Hazy amber gold color with a fluffy lasting head. Light fruit and yeast in the aroma. Flavor of caramel malt, sweet fruit, a bit of yeast and hops on the dryish finish. Smooth on the palate. Pretty good stuff.

Cloudy amber-brown with a large off-white head. Aroma is of brown sugar, caramel, pie crust, apple light funk and earth. Taste is of apple, light tartness, earth and light hops.
