Commercial Description:
Enchanting and enlightening, this golden, frothy ale boasts an intriguing herbal aroma, warming alcohol esters on the tongue and light, but firm body to finish. Exotic spices add subtle notes to both the aroma and flavor. Strong, sensual and satisfying.

Very small (almost no) white head into golden colored body with particles floating around. Aroma of bubble gum, some floral hops, and honey. Flavor is very clean-initially some bitterness and then finishes sweeter. On the dry side, medium bodied, with a lingering finish. Some warming from the alcohol. Wasn’t sure what to expect from this beer, but was pleasantly surprised.

Bought a six pack of 12 ozers from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Fort Mill, SC. Poured a clear gold with a 2.5 finger white head. Aroma was very spicy. Flavor was spicy with some apples and other fruit. Alcohol was moderately warming. Medium body with moderate to high carbonation. Very complex beer.

750mL bottle; lots of sediment which I had been trying to settle for weeks, some escaped during pour; golden yellow with light cloudy hue; smells sweet, spicy, clovy; tastes of candi sugar, spice, complexity; nice but wish I could have settled the sediment.

Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle (bottled on Feb 22 08) and served in a tulip. This tripel poured a hazy golden hue with a lasting head of off-white foam. A bit of light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of apples, clove, cinnamon, orange peel, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor consisted of spicy yeast, apples, pears, orange peel, cloves, and a slight alcohol warmth. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. Crisp and refreshing. Complex and highly quaffable. Very tasty!

Hazy bright gold, small head. Fruity aroma. Lots of tropical fruits including custard apple but also a few orchard fruits including pear. Then nutmeg, clove. Like a fruit custard. Nice carbonation level but feels somewhat heavy. Sweet but pleasant, fun. Lots of fruit like strawberry and also spice with coriander and fennel playing together, boosted by alcohol. Not bad!
