750, corked and baled. Pours hazy dark gold with a lacy pale yellow head. Aroma of tangerines and fruit with a touch of spice. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet peach, bread and citrus taste. Softly resin-bittered finish. Seems to leave me with a hint of perfume and funk. Interesting, but in a good way.

Bottle from SL. Poured a golden to amber color, decent typical BSA head and lacing. The aroma was fruity, yeasty, some notes of alcohol. The flavor too was a little hot, but a nice fruity, yeasty BSA with a touch of hops in the finish. Light wheaty, even bretty sour and bitterness also present. A nice brew.

Hank1980 (942) - Athens, Georgia, USA - MAY 1, 2008
Bottle at Trappeze. Pours a cloudy orange with a large head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, spice, and hop. Taste is a nice collaboration with plenty of hops mixed nicely into a yeasty belgian brew. Taste of hops, yeast, spice, fruit, funk, and citrus. Mouth is relatively light and smooth. A solid brew.

750 ml. Hazy burnt orange with a large head that leaves sugary lace all over. Aroma is orange, clove, banana, apple and lemon. Flavor is banana, melon, bubblegum and more light fruit on the front. The yeast and slight hop flavors tame the luscious fruit into a citrus tang and a nutty, wood-grass finish that also shows a hint of alcohol. Medium body is smooth, with some occasional carbonation flare-ups, and has a dry, slightly warm alcohol finish.

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, thanks to notalush. Light orange / yellow pour, some white head. Aroma is some citrus, clove, some funk and yeast. Flavor is sweet / fruity malt, bubblegum, herbal spices. Pretty good, but subtle.
