legion242 (1519), Richardson, Texas, USA Feb 19, 2008 What a huge disappointment. Started out well enough with a decent nose and nice head. But the flavor had some strange perfumey elements going on through the whole bottle that was very distracting.
ogivlado (2244), Zagreb, Croatia Aug 30, 2008 Bottled(330ml). -Transparent golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, odd intensive alcoholic acetone nose. The taste is very yeasty, alcoholic and pleasant spicy with notes of fruits and hops. Slight bitterness in the finish. Jukkabro (2350), Tampere, Finland Aug 28, 2008 Dark yellow colored with medium sized white head. Cloudy appearance. Strong orange in aroma with yeast spices, mild alcohol also present. Some herbal-hopped note and licorice also here, good aroma. Medium to full bodied. Flavor has even more licorice with orange still, spices and yeast are more biting. Aftertaste dries with spices and mild alcohol. Excellent aroma, flavor is somehow unbalanced. fata2683 (86), APO, New York, USA Aug 21, 2008 Smells great, and has a light sweet taste with some spice and light bitterness. Yeast is present along with light alcohol considering it’s strength. Good Triple. probstk (660), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Aug 4, 2008 75 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Big GUSH. JN 30/08.
App.: Cloudy orange-golden, large rocky white froth.
Aroma: Yeast and dough, lots of citrusy coriander and sugary fruits, candi sugar, tree fruits and light dried fruits, a bit too much alcohol.
Palate: Medium body and fairly sparse effervescence.
Flav.: Spicey citrus, leafy herbal hops, sweet fruits, light sweetness, some dark dried fruits; sweet with a bit of bitterness, a bit of alcohol and light grainy fruitiness to finish.
A nice example of a style that I still don’t like much. mabel (1633), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 4, 2008 [1303-20080418] 1pt9.4floz. Light fruity hops and mid-notes of straw in the aroma, with mild yeast and a bit of lemon zest and pips. Hazy, pale brown orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Mild citrus yeast flavour has a mild tangy yeast. Light-medium body. Mild but drinkable.
