Draft @ Max’s. Pours a bold, clear, tarnished-golden color; off-white head with glistening, fine-bubbled lacing. Honey, sticky tree fruits, apple juice, and yellow fruits in the aroma; intricate, interesting stuff; actually reminiscent of Le Woody without the tart aspect. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: slightly sticky, chewy malts, sugar, cake, and a nice yeast character; not overly sweet, but a touch sweet; solid malt and Belgian / bready core. Interesting. Medium finish: breadiness, yeast, toast, and a touch of yellow fruits at the far end; finishes dry.

Jun 5, 2008 Tap at BT. Orange amber pour with a sticky white head. Well balanced and drinkable, but not hugely exciting. Pithy citrus, chewy, good mouthfeel. Good and summery.

Jun 2, 2008 Draft at capones and blind tiger. My favorite both times. Pours a orange amber body with a mild white lacing. Aroma is honey sweet, fruit sweetness, and a light sour aroma. Flavor is that with a dry chewy fruity body i really enjoyed this one!

May 29, 2008 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a clear reddish-amber with a lacy white head. Aroma is largely sour fruit with an interesting funk characteristic in there as well...After I let it breathe for a few minutes, the taste was a wonderful mixture of bread/grain notes, dark fruit, sour, and slight malt sweetness....Finishes with a bitter snap that really ties the whole thing together. Well done, Southampton. Well done.
