Nov 7, 2009 Draft at Small Bar for their Stone night as part of San Diego Beer Week. The bar was kind of dark, but it appeared as a nice golden amber color with white head. Aroma is full of spice, citrus, yeast, and light pine. The spice is perhaps the most notable component of the flavor with nutmeg and cinnamon standing out. The ctirus peels are also quite noticeable along with yeast and some lightly toasty maltiness. The alcohol is completely hidden and it’s easily drinkable. Wish I had some at home.

Oct 21, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! This beer looks like honey in the glass. Gold with lots of active carbonation and a light gold head that lasts forever. Layered lacing. Nose is fruit and yeast with peppery spice. Flavor is similar similar. Pepper leads with tangerine and sugar. Yeast is in the background. As the beer warms less pepper and more fruit is noted. A smooth feel and less effervescence than expected. A very nice beer!

Oct 18, 2009 Flaske: Orange klar øl med et minimalt skumhoved. Kraftig duft af julekrydderi. Smagen er også domineret af dette julekrydderi og alkohol. Det der trækker den op er en god mundfylde og en god bitterhed med bid i.

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle. Orange color with small head.
Unfortunately, it was not very good. Too spicy for my taste. Ginger is a bit tricky, too much of it is not tasty.

Oct 2, 2009 2.2 year-old bomber. The girl that got away wasn’t even married that summer! A glowing reddy-orange pour with no lasting head is almost clear but looks thick - like molten colored wine crystal. glass. I’m getting flavors of candied citrus, licorice and maybe sarsaparilla, pale dried tart fruits such as apricot, A hint of banana esters, and peppery with lightly grassy hops. Great palate and overall fruit-spice aromas remind me of great Belgians such as DeDolle Arabier. Impressively rounded and multi-faceted. I may keep the 2008 for next year...
