Butternut tripel yeast aroma, and when you really suck in you can just catch muted cinnamon at the end. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, muddy yellow. Tangerines, a nice crisp/bitter roll to the beer. Not sweet, not too spicy, a bit bready. Tangerine on the lips, medium-light body. Nice brew.

Beer Pours a light golden with a faint haze. Head is thin white bubbles rapidly disappearing. Nose is hoppy clean, citrus happy. Light and fresh. Taste is rather hoppy cidery and dry. Body is rather thin. finish is clean with a small hint of an aftertaste. Getting a bit of a sour thing going on. kinda ruins the finish.

Hazy yellow with a medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with lemons and coriander. Flavour was somewhat sourish with wheat and lemons. Sourish dry finish.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-whiote head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and citrus, leading to a dry cardboard finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of brentfeesh. Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Perfumy coriander nose. Light body, very tart citrus bordering sour. Dry, citrusy finish. Lingering infection I reckon. 111009

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.
