Another great brew from these guys. It pours with a cloudy golden body topped by a huge head with lots of lacing left on the glass. The aroma is swet and fruity (banana, peach) with a slight tartness and yeasty accents. The flavor is similar to the aroma, however the tartness is not as evident and more spiciness shows theough. A touch of alcohol is also tasted. Medium bodied, smooth and warming.

Aug 4, 2008 Updated: Aug 5, 2008Bottle, aged over 1 year. Pours a medium-dark golden orange color, mostly clear, but with some very fine floating particulate. The head dissipates so quickly, I could barely get a glimpse of its tan hue. What’s left is a completely smooth, syrupy looking body that leaves thick, sugary legging on the glass after a swirl. The aroma is massively sweet and boozy, heavy of golden raisons, candied orange peels, Cointreau, citrus blossom honey, and just a touch of coriander for bitterness. As sweet as it smells, the flavor just takes it up level to borderline liquid candy status. Golden raisons pureed with honey comes to mind. Spicy, floral hops attempt to balance things out, but wind up getting crushed by the saccharine intensity. Thick and sugary in the mouth, with little carbonation, it almost drinks like a low ABV mead. This one is over the top sweet, even after a year of cellaring. I’m not a fan.

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle at RBSG grand tasting. Thanks to whoever brought this. Pours a cloudy copper-orange color with a small off-white head. The aroma was ripe with sweet fruits and spices. The taste was overtly tart with oranges, white pepper cashews and malted grains. The mouthfeel was full and malty. The finish was medium in durations with lingering sour oranges. Overall: A very interesting concoction. Recommended

Jul 13, 2008 Orange beer with a big off white head. Sweet orange citrus nose. Thick flavors of bitter orange peel, coriander spice, and good bread. Long bitter orange peel finish. Very nice full flavored and full bodied beer.

Jun 28, 2008 I got this bottle from someone, but who the hell was it? Thanks to whoever it was. Pours a cloudy orange with a good size foamy head. The aroma is tons of citrus; oranges, coriander, and pepper. The taste is very smooth and full; tons of spices and citrus along with a malty background. Very easy to drink and quite nice.
