An unclear dark orange beer. The aroma is of peach and spices - of which coriander stands out. The flavor is very spicy, but also with notes of peaches and caramel, leading to an end where the hops dries out the mouth.

Hazy orange/blonde coloured body with a small white head. Barnyard scents with a flemish sour aroma. Light-bodied; Heavily carbonated with a good sweetness and residual tartness. Overall, great to try and a decent flavour throughout. I sampled this 75 cL bottle at the November RB party at Founder’s in Alexandria, Virginia on 20-November-2004.

750mL bottle @ the gathering. Peachy yellow/orange, good white head retained. Notes of sharp, acidic fruit esters, lots of yeast and some very dry earthy notes. Very acidic and assaulting up front. Strangely vinous, but it’s white grapes. I have the word Chardonnay in large capital letters in my notes and that’s what it reminds me of, lightly oaky, vinous and has some semi-dry peach notes. All in all it’s too much of a mix between acidic fruits, dry grape notes and dry yeast. Medium-light body, moderate carbonation. Sure is experimental.
