Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of bread, spice, Belgian yeast esters, floral notes. Taste is marmalade on toast, heavy on the butter. limited honey presence, thankfully. Orange sweetie finish. But with a bitter linger.

Bottle. Appearance - golden with a thin but attractive head. Nose - bread with dried oranges, floral, light yeast/spice notes. Taste - oranges and bread again. Loads of honey piling in on the finish. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - good example of the style even though it isn’t bottled conditioned.

Flaska drucken på Nya Tröls. Massor av vaxig honung i doften, bakom det en tung blegostrig lätt parfymig doft med jäst, kardemumma och blombukett. Bäst är honungsnyanserna som funkar riktigt bra resten blir lite för mycket. Men ändå kul. Som en stor, tung och söt som dubbelwit på steroider. Tack Daniel.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods - Kirby,6/12/13
Aroma: The aroma is malty and grainy, some some straw notes, light grass, and mild fruit
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a small white head and some light lacework
Flavor: The difference from nose to flavor is more yeast and spice,, and the grass come out a bit more too
Palate: The body is fairly light, but it isn't watery, it has a soft feel, and a spicy tingle on the finish
Overall Impression: I was fairly unimpressed by this one. There just isn't anything too exciting here, and I thought I'd get a more inspired beer from SKA. It is not a bad beer, it just doesn't really excite.

Refrigerated bomber compliments of joepeesie poured into a trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with small white head that dissapates quickly. Small big bubble, medium/thin rocky body, low carbonation, slightly syrupy texture, and sweet aroma. Taste is doughy malt, some candy sugar, some honey, spice and light bitter finish. Not a great brew, but I like it because it is different.

Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium ivory white head that evaporates steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and yeast plus some banana. Medium body with a sweet fruity character and notes of doughy malt and yeast. The finish is short with a banana and wheat aftertaste. Pretty average overall.
