Dec 2, 2003 750ml bottle. Aroma is intoxicating and inviting. Delicious smells of fresh apple, some spices, and yeast. Brew pours cloudy golden with an initialy large egg white head that is modestly retained. Flavor is multi-layered and starts out sedately. Then the flavor begin to open up middle is the fresh apples of the nose the finish is spicy/peppery. Very good beer.

Nov 15, 2003 750 ml. corked & caged bottle. Expired on 10.12.02, so it's 13 months out of date. Let's see how it stacks up. Poured out a brilliant golden yellow color, with not much head to speak of. Aromas mostly of lemons, so I believe this bottle has gone south on me. Not much in the way of hop aromas here. I can't really smell anything but lemons, and maybe canned pears in heavy syrup. Tasted ok, but nothing special. Maybe I'll try another one if I can find it fresher.

Nov 9, 2003 Slightly hazy, traffic light amber with a frothy head. Aroma is sharp and spicy, cashews, sea spray, maybe buckwheat honey. The taste is also spicy, zesty sourdough bread, damp earth, and a quick flash of bitterness. Well-carbonated even after head collapses. Dry finish with peppery alcohol burn. Interesting, but I wouldn't buy another.

Nov 7, 2003 Glowing orange-copper brew with no head out of the bottle (dated 04-04-04). Carbonation is minimal. The alcohol dominates the aroma and flavor. There seems to be something interesting going on underneath, but I just can seem to get to it. Too bad. I expect better from these guys! NOTE: Livened up a tad after pouring into another glass, agitating it a bit.

Nov 5, 2003 Updated: Nov 6, 2003Cloudy Orange, with a densly carbonated head that shrinks down to a nice sized foam island in my chalice. Smells of pears, oak, and...alcohol. . Woodsy hops up front and alcohol dominates the finish, with some subtle notes in the background - black pepper, some very restrained sweetness, and may be some breadiness. Not bad, but I wish the alcohol were better hidden.
