Golden in color and hazy with a pretty good head. Bananas and spices in the aromas. Slight alcohol. Coorinador and other spices in the taste with some lemon zest.

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.
