Bottle 65 cl. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Fat aroma of caramel, overripe fruit and alcohol. Solid body, thick and syrupy, fruity, peachy - overripe fruits. Some harsh hoppiness and a distinct alcohol feel in the finish. 100110

GABF2009 - upon first sip, I liked this beer, but things went downhill fast - this is one of those rare beers that is both too sweet, and too bitter at the same time, which I suppose is an accomplishment - very syrupy, sweet and thick up front, followed by flowers and seriously bitter herbs that just get more and more bitter, closing out the beer with an odd, yarrow/aspirin character - not my thing.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Transparent copper with zero head. Fruity nose, apples, pears with hints of booze. Fruity flavor with more apples and pears and some oranges. Sticky in the mouth, boozy finish and just a touch of alcohol heat. Unique for sure.

Pours clear copper with off white head. The aroma is rich maltiness, a moderate hint of wheat and additional malt notes. After a few more draws I started to notice mild dark fruity esters and some alcohol heat. The taste has a syrupy sweet start (as it should) with some mild pine hops followed by sweet malts, some wheated malts and persistent sweet maltiness. Nice tasting brew with a pleasing load of malts and not much on the hop side of things.

Pours with an off-white head over a clear amber orange body. Aroma of rotting orange, wheat and sherry. Taste is of turbinado sugar, rotting orange, sherry, soggy wheat, and dried apricots. Light bubbles and slightly syrupy.

100th rater Different paper label bottle shared by EDA @ jjpm74’s gathering. Pours very pale, clear, can see through the beer. Aroma is over-the-top hoppy-ass (resiny pines and tropical fruits) wheat wine. Ended up turning into a lactose/milk hop flavored beer. Get some cider flavors, hoppy bitterness, without substance. Seems like they could not decide exactly what they wanted to do with this beer.

Bottle: Golden pour with a light haze, modest white head. Nose is citrus, piney, and wheat. Taste is sweet and sour, hop and malt. Light wheat presence. Lingering bitters and alcohol warming. Thanks Indiana_Red for sharing.
