Weak banana aroma. Milky golden with an enormous light yellow head. Pears, white grape, and spider web flavor, vinous. Dry and bitter finish. Thin body. A bit off balance, but still enjoyable. Pairs pretty well with Gouda fondue.

Bottle from Septemberfest. Cloudy gold with a lasting creamy foam. Nose of banana, white wine and funky farm. Taste is the same with a tad of toasted nut and brown sugar. Light-medium body is smooth and dryish.

Gravicask, one-third pint. Unclear, orange body and a minimal head. Smell of hay and spicy hops. Hoppy-herbal characteristics in flavour with a touch of yeast and a nice lingering bittersweet finish. Good (GBBF, 05.08.2009).

Bottle at lithy’s Septemberfest. Pours an orange hue of gold with big rocky offwhite head. The aroma is spicy yeast with warm wheat notes and light citrus. The flavor is mild orange and papaya with a warm bready feel. It finishes on an earthy note with angel food cake, coriander, zest, and wood. Simple, and a little sweet for the style, but still quite good.

Orange, big rocky head. Sweet aroma, some citrus, maybe? Sweet and a little syrupy flavor, citrus with some herbal notes. Not bad by any means, but a little heavy and sweeter than I usually prefer.

Pours a orange with nice white head. Aroma of lemon bread, citrus hops, spices. Nice and earthy. Similar taste. Dry, warm finish.

Sampled at Lithy’s Septemberfest Tasting. Near clear gold with massive off white head that fades eventually. Slightly funky nose with clean wheat and a little pepper. Flavor has some lemon citrus and more light barnyard tartness, but not sour. Exactly what I expect from this style. But the bubbles seem to have left this beer a little flat and syrupy.
