Cloudy orange, nice head, fades to film. Aroma dominated by raisn, sickly sweet almost. Faint yeasty character. Flavor much the same, with some faint spice, not much else. Very one dimensional.

750ml Bottle - Hazy amber in colour. Peach and toffee in the aroma. Sweet and slightly fruity taste with peach, toffee, caramel and some tangy, hoppy notes.

750ml bottle corked and crowned bottle. Bottle stamped #256 (out of?). Obviously, 2005 Vintage. Poured a medium and cloudy amberish color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of fruitiness, some oak, yeastiness/bready, citrus, and a light funkiness. Tastes of wood, fruity, lighter breadiness, vanilla, and some spiciness. Lighter funkines was in the finish as well. This one grew on me the more and more I drank it! Alcohol content well hidden.

Bottle shared by BrianK. Pours an amber body with 1 finger frothy head. Sweet malt vinegar balsamic oaky etoh. Dark fruit with esters woody citrus. Some orange with a hint of honey.

Pours with moderate carbonation. Sunset orange in color. Aroma is malty, with grassy hops. A sourness lurks. Taste is fresh and aggressive. The slight sourness is balanced by the malt and the yeast. Tastes like it could have been oak aged for a short time. Mouthfeel is good, and viscous for the style. I’d have another if I wasn’t so tired. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-27-2005 04:04:48
