Bottled. Copper colour. Vinegary nose. The acidity is cherry like, reminiscent of Rodenbach, but more yeasty and flowery. The mouthfeel is clean, and I’m sure the marked acidity is unintended. Still I kind of enjoy this freaked out beer.

This is how I like an ipa. Some hop bitterness and lots of fruit flavors and aromas. Orange color; head starts large and leaves a lace.

Ruby-amber color, cloudy. Malty aroma, red peppers, salami, magnesia. Some malt, but probably infected… Not very good :-(

An unclear amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is of hops, coriander, and somewhat sour. The flavor is sour with notes of citrus and overripe fruits. This was a disappointment, I usually love Victory beer, and this is a 10% ABV Belgian Ale - how can it be sour? infection?

An orange beer with a dense beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander, oranges, caramel, and finally dusty hops. The flavor is strong with alcohol burning the tongue and caramel sticking in the mouth, but also notes of oranges, coriander, and mango.

Lightly hazy golden ale with a thick luscious white...beard. Very spicey pinhey hops in aroma, with pine needles. Sweet malt with intense hops in mouth, yet very smooth due to vodka notes. Alcohl comes out more than hops in finish. Excellent. Yahoo! Thanks to PisskyNight!

2005 draught at Redbones. Copper gold amber color, white head. Aroma of light, floral hops. Medium body and a much more papery, dry malt and flavor profile than the UK version. Well maybe not much more, but it is somewhat less fruity and more stale/bland tasting. The UK seems to be more alive and fresh, with earthy notes, while the US version is very neutral and dry. Still a good amount of hops, medium body and lightly crisp.

2005 draught @ Redbones, 2/6/05. Fruitier notes from the aroma, a bit more earthiness but the same amber-orange color with a clumpy, small off-white head. In both cases, the hops take front-seat in the nose, but in the flavor, the British yeast adds more fruity notes and even some more crispness. The difference is still, not that big. I’ll take the clean, buttery and fruity flavors of the British. Less paperiness as well.

XBF05 draught. This beer pours a nearly transluscent mahogany brown, with some dark chestnut and light auburn tints. Any head that forms while pouring, rapidly disipates. Aroma smells VERY strongly of sour German yeast, hints of baker’s chocolate and light notes of ash and roast. First sip proves to be quite flavorful, with sweet caramel and milk chocolate notes on the forefront. As I drink more, a sour yeast flavor creeps up and sets up shop. Now I can’t seem to get the yeast flavor out of my mouth. Lactic and very out of place, it seems to dominate the flavor. The body is slightly watery, with notes of dry, almost astringent yeast or overly roasted grains. Though, I make it sound too dry, when it does have some decent chocolate and earthy brown malt flavor. A beer that demands another sample.

Ruddy orange-red body, thin quickly dissipating off-white head. Chewy aroma of banana, clove, tangy wheat, and caramel, slightly sharp. Sweet caramely body, somewhat toasty, with plenty of banana and clove with some development of sweeter fruits (e.g., cherry) from the sugar-charged malts. Surprisingly strong; alcohol is evident at the finish, after which the banana sticks on the palate for awhile. This is a very good Weizenbock, and certainly a sipper rather than a session beer! Thanks Dan (jah noth) for the bottle!
