This unique copper-colored ale derives its fruity, slightly spicy aroma from authentic Belgian Abbey yeast. The subtle nutty and malty sweet flavors sing in harmony with the freshest organic hops available.

Some caramel and rust. A bit of house dust like not sweeping. Amber pour. Clean finish. Easy drinking.

Bottle at home two organic beers in a week. Not sure exactly what makes them less than fundamentally. Anyways fine copper pour. Nose is faint berry malt and cardboard. Tastes much the same some fruit and earth and paper. Smooth palate odd aftertaste.

Bottle with \"thanks\" to mom-in-law. So this pours a nice clear gold with a thin head. It smells like \"beer\" and tastes like \"beer\" and has very little to offer other than those humble observations.

Always a good fallback option

Had this at a dinner where everyone else was getting fancy cocktails or wine. Poured a clear dark amber color with a off-white head. Aroma was light sweetness, touch of booze notes. Caramel notes. Light nutty notes. Sweet malts dominate this one, caramel. Light earthy hops.

Location: 12 oz bottle at a random Bonefish near Fort Lauderdale, 7/25/13

Aroma: The nose is boozy and malty, spice, earth, seems a little off
Appearance: This one pours an amberish color with an average sized off-white head
Flavor: The taste is similar to the nose with malty and boozy flavors
Palate: The body is medium, it doesn't have a great drinkability, and it has an odd finish
Overall Impression: I thought this beer was a little higher in ABV. Anyway, it wasn't a favorite for me. It really just felt flawed on the whole.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grain with light sweet fruits and a bit of backing nuttiness. Flavor begins has light fruits and sweet grains up front with a note of nuttiness coming out in the finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-caramel color with a medium sized foamy off white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish with a sour caramel presence and touches of dark fruits and vegetal malts. The flavor was tangy and sour with faint caramel, dark fruits, vegetal malts and canned mushroom juice. Long sour caramel and vegetal finish. Medium body. Disappointing.
