Bottle into chalice. Pours cloudy brown with gargantuan pillowy , off-white head that settled in but stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma is kind of subdued -- yeasty, spicy, bit of sweet dark fruit. Taste is interesting -- prickly carbonation combines up front with spicy yeast and bittersweet dark fruits, opens up and finishes with spicy yeast, bittersweet dark fruits, with a lingering, dark fruit and licorice bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel has the carbonation spot on, but a bit watery. Interesting take on the style, great beer but has potential to be even better with a bit less watery mouthfeel.

Aug 17, 2008 Looks great in the glass - light hazel with mild carbonation, a white head the goes away quickly. Aroma is mild but dominated by coriander, clove and citrus (the 3 Cs you shouldn’t have in a beer). Tastes malty, creamy and thick at first but finishes dry, sticky and slightly bitter. Good, but not my first recommendation.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours an amber-brown with noticeable sediment and a bubbly off-white head that persists and leaves thin lacing. A sour-fruit aroma with some spicy notes. Crisp, bright, very carbonated with a light mouthfeel. Spicy start with some sweet, fruity flavors, something like apricot, amd a slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste.
