Had this while visiting FSU for an audition. All I wrote down besides the numbers was: BIG clove/phenolics; no balance.

Bottle from mixed 6 at ABC. Poured cloudy gold with a decent white head. Aroma of light spice, coriander, yeast, wheat. Taste is also wheat, yeast, citrus, and light spice. Mouth is pretty light - lots of carbonation make this very refreshing. A solid summer ale.

Pours a cloudy yellow. Smells of citrus and yeast. Citrusy taste with slight bitterness. Nice smooth finish. Wouldn’t mind seeking out this beer again in the summer.

Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - APR 4, 2009
Pours a cloudy yellow body with fading white head. Smells of grass, mild citrus and mild spice. Taste is tart, almost sour with a Belgian yeastiness. Pick up some lemongrass and coriander. Tart funky finish.

12oz bottle courtesy of Dyan, thank you very much for the opportunity. Nice vibrant orange color, completely cloudy. It smells like orange peel and yeast. The taste is juicy adn lots of range flavor. very easy to drink but maybe a little heavy on the orange. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-14-2008 00:28:38

Beershine (4562) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - FEB 2, 2009
Draught, North River Tavern. Clear golden with thick creamy white head and lacing. Mild aroma. Slightly fruity and slightly earthy. Palate is velvety and smooth. Mainly sweet, in fact too sweet as if honeyed. Clean finish but after a fruit candy middle.

(Bouteille de 355 ml. - Dégusté avec french tickler) Biere de couleur Or pale avec un mince collet non-collant de couleur blanc. Odeur d’humidité , un peu de sucre, et un peu les pommes. Gout de blé, un peu de sel et orange.
