Thank you notalush and his Santa. Very good. Nice aroma. Sweet and spice balance. Nice and complex with some fruit and bitterness too. Taste is sweet too. Malty and spices like cloves and dried oranges and figs. Nice carbonation too helps all the mellow hops shine.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2008 Bottle shared by puddintane: Pours a clear golden color with a tiny white head. Aroma, bready malts, some yeast and spices. Flavor, spicy, pale bready malts, yeast.
Re-rate: From a 11.2oz bottle, some bretty funk is starting to come through, a nice spice to it. Really coming along nicely.

Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Pours hazy coppery orange with a small to medium, creamy, off-white head. Great aroma with lots of flower and spice notes on top of a yeasty and light caramel background. Vanilla, oregano, roses, tulips, oranges as well. Lowish carbonation, quite dry mouthfeel with fine creaminess. Flavour has a feel like Duvel Tripel Hop, but this is far more spicy than hoppy. Sweet maltiness with lots of vanilla, flowery hoppiness and a slight note of tarty brett character. The alcohol warms brilliantly without ever being too much. I think this is a beer that loses something from a small sample - you really have to get it in a big bottle, swirl it around and enjoy the spicy complexity - and the brett only slowly enhances as the beer breathes.

750mil bottle from trade with bobkunz23. Thanks Bob! Pours a hazy medium golden color with a nice size white head.Aroma of yeast, caramel malt, wood and light hops. Taste of light fruit, malty, yeast and spices. A little different than what I have had in the past. Basically it is a light hopped belgian ale and it has all of the flavors to vaidate it as such. Alcohol is detectable but not overpowering.Has a semi sweet finish. Very nice and easy to drink.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2007 #400!!!!!!! ml Michael Jacksons beer of the Month Club. Very tasty. Yeasty, band aidish aroma. Probably the Brett. Pours a nice lasting head. Really like this brew. Some bitterness evident but the Belgian yeast seems to dominate in a good fashion. well done. cant wait to enjoy the next 3 750’s.

Bottle: Gold pour with a finger of sandy head. Thick, small sheets of sticky lacing. Aroma of light florals and fruity hops. Some faint Belgian spices. A sweet and overall inviting aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty with citrus, florals, and a sweet faded citrus hop element. Mellows nicely as it warms to room temp. Belgian spices and yeast play a minimal role; seems like a cross of I2PA and barleywine... Rather tasty at that!

Pous lite brown with a decent head. Spicy fruity aromas. Fruity Belgium yeast flavors with a touch of raisin. Very good.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2009 750 ml, expensive bottle, from EZ Liquors. Pours a clear golden burnt orange with lots of visible tiny bubbles rising from the center of ny Allagash tulipy looking glass with a large frothy foamy long lasting white head. Aroma is hops, piney cat pissy citrusy hops mixed in with some yeast tropical fruit, especially rinds, lemon wheat grass, and spice. Medium to slightly thin bodied with light to average carbonation and a smooth finish. Flavor starts off with lots of citrus sourness, lemon and lemon rind, then yeast, bready grains, tropical fruits, cat piss hops, grass, and wild herbs. This beer has tons of potential and is rather nice, much like that new show How I Met Your Mother, hopefully this beer won’t go down the same road of suckiness though.
