Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2011 750 ml bottle slowly poured in tulips and shared with friend. Tantilizing gold with lots of carbination. 3 " head which left nice lacing. Aromas of tangyBelgium yeasts with fruits minimal spices mixed with lightly roasted malts and alcohol.Tastes closely resembles the nose of this brew. a perfect representation for this style
750ml poured. Comes out a very nice almost golden hay color. Smells of coriander and oranges. Tastes bitter with a bite right away. Tastes strongly of alcohol and warms your chest right away. Light sweetness with a hint of sour on the end, mostly tasting of the yeast. Very lively carbonation. Very much a living beer.
750 ml 09 Vintage I do believe. Pours a Hazed hay color that has medium depth and color. Aroma of coriander oranges and a certain yeast. Flavor has strong alcohol character with a light sweetness and maybe even a lighter sour. Goes down crisp with a very clear palate for the depth of the ale. Very good.
