Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread, malt, caramel, and straw.

(bottle) Clear, deep golden to amber colour with a thick and slowly lacing foamy white head. Sweet cara-malty aroma with a shy citrus-fruity and slightly flowery hoppy blend. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, cara-malty and subtle fruity taste; moderately dry, malt-accented, slightly nutty finish, again combined with subtle fruity notes. Likeable (31.10.08).

Bottle 50cl @ home.

At Spuyten Duyvil from a pine tar pitch laced cask. Light, tart aroma, very fruity, a touch of wood. Body lacks carb but is very easy drinking. A touch of tart in the flavor, and almost a little smoke. The tartness in this is not normal, and perhaps was from an infection from the cask. It worked somewhat but was very weird.

Sampled at Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn. Body is clear brown with no head. The aroma is sweet, the taste is pretty good.

sampled on tap in Brooklyn , has a very unique sour/tart orange flavor to it. Aroma is iced tea

Gravity pour from a pitch-lined wooden keg. Very pale golden-amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly tart and even a little bit cidery. As it starts to warm, I get a little bit of light pininess that I assume is from the pitch. There is also a fairly lactic sourness as well. Lean malts with a bit of woody character that gets fairly pronounced. I didn’t like it at first but it does grow on me a bit. It’s very strange though. I’d like to try it on a regular cask or keg.

Bottle in Quinns. Aroma is malty, bready and small roasty notes, but mainly sweet. Taste is similar, very malty, id have guessed it a marzen over a dunkel though.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Quinns.
Hazy gold with a thin white head. A very wheaty but otherwise standard weiss. Sweet finish. Really I can’t be bothered.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Malty bready aroma. Sweetish malty and bready caramel flavor with some fruity hints. Sweetish malty bready finish with some hoppy hints.
