17/04 A 0.75 l bottle, courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for sharing! It poured hazy orange body with medium sized ivory head. Very nice elderflower and honey malt aroma with lot of citrus hops. Somewhat spicy as well. Peppery, fine hoppy flavor, bitter but well balanced with vanilla malts and chalky yeast, to be smooth on palate. Quite full in body for relatively modest ABV. Finish was long, pleasant sweetish and slightly bitter. Really a pleasant Belgian ale.

Ogi’s. "La 9" and has 6.5% alcohol. Umm... What? Poured a murky amber-brown body with a big, fluffy nice off white head that went away relatively slowly. Nice, really fresh notes of elderflower and maltiness, with very light soapy notes, aroma hops, some orange. Fresh taste again, apricot, orange rind, nicely and very much aromatic, peach juice, slightly lactic, quite lovely and enjoyable - these last 3 Italian beers were definitely a nice surprise, though I’m sure that Ogi paid quite a lot for them.

11/04/2013 La Tana (handpump). Ambrata, miele, limpida, schiuma biancastra sporca abbondante e persistente. Al naso sentori di malto e luppolo, note erbacee. In bocca è un po’ confusa, l’attacco è dolciastro, maltato, il finale è amaro ma non così secco come mi sarei aspettato. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Un po’ caotica e confusionaria.

Bottle at marea in NYC. Pours hazy deep orange with decent sized fluffy head. Nose of malt and bread. Tastes bready, spicy of pepper and coriander, decent amount of citrus hops, caramel, grass, and light banana. It’s dry on finish and paired well my seafood feast.

Apple, dried leaves, and a little alcohol on the nose. Cloudy copper, no head. Dried leaves, oily rose petals, and lemon zest flavor. A bit like potpourri.

Draft. Hazy amber color, fluffy tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of dusty brown bread dough. Taste is bitter roots. Interesting.

Bottled. An unclear golden-amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit. Thanks yespr for sharing.
