375 ml corked bottle, bottled 06/12/15, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks!
Golden-orange, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of young cheese, sweet yellow fruits, yeast, apples, some sweet bread, some citrus, spices.
Tastes of yeast, citrus, grass, apricot, berries, red apples, some cheese, some sweet bread, some peppery spices.
Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes dry, medium bitter, a bit sour, a bit sweet, fruity, yeasty, a bit peppery, with some piney hops.

Very nice. Really smooth and greatly balanced, easy and quite complex at the same time. Sweet, fruity and yeasty in the beginning, but finishing dry and hoppy, really interesting. One of the better style examples I’ve had, I would gladly drink again.

Bottle shared. Thanks Jon! Pours a hazy straw gold with a one-finger head of foam. Apple and pear nose with some good clean yeast on the nose. Light body with the yeast making up for the lower malt flavor and soft carbonation. Smooth and easy drinking beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Redemption on 18 Nov 2015 at 21:08 - Score: 8

Pours neon yellow with a half a finger of clean white foam into a wine glass. The nose shows rich round malts. The palate is light bodied and lightly carbonated. Very light on flavors and light malts. Understated but still quite refreshing. One can see easily see the contrast with the Damnation.

Batch number 12, 375 mL bottle poured at Brouwers cafe. They always seem to have some sort of treat in store. Excited to try this at what I consider a decent price. Pours a clear apple juice gold with a limited foam head. Watery grain aroma. Bready amd grassy forward flavor. Doughy. Very doughy. Comes off as a super awesome cream ale, if such thing exists. Lingering yeast forward, bready finish. I don’t think I’ve ever had a beer like this one. On a Russian River scale, it’s alright. On an every beer combined scale, it’s a damn good beer.
