Commercial Description:
So simple in its creation, so magnificent in its maturity, this wonderful ale begins with Nature's most humble offerings, water, malted grains and hops. Our soulful yeast breathes life and depth into each brew. The steady hand of time orchestrates this alchemy into the splendid ale before you. Cheers!

The aroma had a dark fruit sweetness, caramel, but thin and a slight hint of nutmeg. THe flavor had dark fruit, caramel, slight spice, and nutmeg/flowers. THe beer poured a reddish orange color w/ no head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light and creamy.

A very malty aroma. No head on this one at all. A yeasty flavor with a sugary orange taste. The alcohol is present in the aftertaste. Overall its good in small doses.

Bottle from Styles. Hazy medium amber color with a nice white head. Malty aroma. Medium bodied. Alcohol is fairly subdued, nicely malty in flavor.

Bottle: Very malty aroma. Lots of fruit. Citrus, yeast, and caramel. Pours a dull orange with little transparency. Off-white head is short lasting. Malty up front. Citrus in the background. Caramel, fruit, yeast. Definite alcohol burn in the finish but then really seems to fade and become non-existant as you drink. Light sourness in the finish. Excellent beer. Thanks to Styles.

Bottle from the brewery. Thumbs up across the board for this one. A grand cru that I’d put on par with Chimay blue, at least, for about half the price. Victory does it right again.

Deep hazy orange amber with a light fluffy Belgian laced head. Spicey yeast aroma with light coriander and strong vodka. Light orange peels also. Sweet candy sugar with whiff of warm alcohol. Some notes of pears and pineapple. Light hops in finsih. Rich and smooth bodied, with a rather quick finish.
