Sampled at the DC Local Tasting a 750ml bottle pours a transparent orange wth some cloudy white head. Nose is sweet, candy sugar, oranges, a little perfume, a little maple. Flavor is sweet, maple, orange candy, some grass, some Belgian yeast, banana. Medium bodied, sweet finish.

Bottle. Looks like soup. Aroma of boozy yeast. Taste is smooth and bready. Not bad.

Big thanks to Sean for sharing this! Pours a hazy orange gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains and bread backed by light notes of light fruits and funk. Flavor has notes of sweet grains and sweet bread with some backing sweet fruit with a hint of funk, but a bit too sweet.

Draught tulip at the brewpub on 4/8/06
Gently-hazed golden-honey colored body has sporadic bubbles rising to bolster a white head that is small and held at partial cover, with no real lacing.
The nose imparts a fresh, zesty Belgian yeast, baked hay and dough mixing together with light minerals and an orange and lemon zestiness that combines with light alcohol esters to really deepen the aroma towards the end. It really lulls you in at first and then the spices explode, matched by esters and well-extracted pils malt.
Flavor begins with reserved pils maltiness that initially coats the palate, but the soft, appropriate carbonation sweeps in and wisks away the honey, replacing it with mangoes, warm bananas, curacao oranges and light pepper-like phenols. Imagine Allagash trippel at about 66% of it’s strength and you’re not too far off. What is most common to it and Allagash’s gem is the well-done yeast. Not meaty/fatiguing or even overdone in any way, but light, fluffy, with some doughiness, but plenty of fruits and phenols. Alcohol warmth is kept in check, but is notable somewhat. Warming produces light vanilla blossoms and more flowery hops, with a satisfying easing of the carbonation allowing more malt to stick to the palate. The malt depth, which seems to always be one of the most difficult things to master, is lacking here. But don’t get me wrong, what is there, is excellent and wonderfully-done.
