Hazy orange with a grand head. Lots of coriander an oranges in the aroma. The flavour is very sweet and spicy with coriander and yeast being dominant plus oranges and a bit of citrus. A good tripple.

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.

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.

Jul 29, 2008 750mL bottle purchased at Corti Brothers in Sacramento. Aroma definitely has some mustiness as well as a bit of anise present. I just get lots of licorice and a fair amount of veggies in the nose. Not sure, doesn’t smell too appealing. Mild-moderately hazy golden-orange body with an off-white head that is medium-sized. Good lacing present. Pretty balanced beer. Has a nice sweet kick early on, but it never totally fades. Lingers in the background behind some dusty, spicy yeast flavors and a nice light citrusy hopped bitterness to finish. Nice mouthfeel. Not overly ethanolic. Balanced and drinkable. Well-crafted. Wish the aroma was more pleasant, though.

Jul 29, 2008 33 cl. Gushing from the bottle head settles to a thick cream atop this foggy orange-amber beer. Aroma is citronella and light fruit. Flavor is spicy yeast with apples and grapes, honey, resin and peppery-orange liqueur. Light-medium body tries to be smooth but is too champagne-like; has some nice chest-warming alcohol and finishes mostly dry.
