"04.23.05 Bottle after TAP NY enjoyed with mkobes and maibockaddict, bottle thanks to doubletriple. Orangey gold pour with some floaties and a giant white head. Aroma is grapey and boozy, sherry, and some musty cork. Fabulous, vinous aroma with nicely integrated oxidation. Very dry flavor with more wine-like qualities. More cork, more sherry. Lots of acidic grapeskin. Big plum sweetness is tempered by light funky sour notes, mellow wood, peppery alcohol bite. Has nice qualities of many Belgian strongs, but it’s unique and complex in its own right. Abruptly dry ending. A real treat, and worth the wait."

"This is a cloudy gold and its very well carbonated with an ample white head. The aroma is complex with apples, apricots and cigarette ash being some of what I’m picking up. The malt is a bit on the dry side. The fresh fruit and musty flavors are a nice combination."

"Honey colored brew pours with a dense tightly packed white head. Looking at the brew you notice that it is alive with bubbles. Nose has hints of green apples and soft notes of strawberry/banana smoothies. Lively palate makes this exceptionally easy to drink. Flavors are based on a solid malty caramel base with very soft somewhat sweet fruity notes floating in and around the tongue all ending in a quiet funkiness that is truly intriguing. An amazing brew that is definitely worthy of its Top 50 ranking."

"This was a pleasent suprise to see at the Noog Fest. This was a very LATE rating. Per my notes "A dark orange appearance with a champagne and M&M flavor. Caramel stickyness. It tasted like a spritzer almost. Orange soda and funky things" Hmmm you know what I don’t think Im going to rate anything else off of this particular sheet. Good stuff!"

"Orange gold color. Small to medium head. Aroma is orangish, fruity and yeasty. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Bright yeasts. Nice balance. An interesting mix of sweet and sour flavors. Crisp and clean. Nice refreshing beer. Lively carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter"
