(Bottle 35,5 cl) Golden beer with a big, creamy head that sticks to the glass. Very fresh and aromatic from the two German aroma-hops which also leaves a considerable bitterness. But first and foremost this beer is soft, soft, soft.

(On tap) As a supplement to his standard range of beers master brewer Garrett Oliver runs a series of special brews under the name "Brewmaster’s Reserve" only brewed as draught beer in limited quantities for short term availability - Organic porter is one of them. Very dark close to being completely black. Typical notes of coffee and chocolate with a fine lightbrown head.

(On tap) As indicated by the "Blanche" tag this is a wheat by Belgian standards, therefore very pale in appearance with prominent touches of coriander and orange peel. A seasonal for the hotter months - and only on tap. Fresh and very fruity and a formidable thirstquencher. In a plastic mug at "Brooklyn Pig Fest" this beer may not have the most prominent appearance, but it doesn’t hide the fact, that this is an excellent Belgian Wheat which has beaten Hoegarden Wit in several competitions.

Beautiful deep blond color. An ordinary Pilsner, without the necessary hop character, a bit papery. Quite high metallic bitterness.

On tap at Summit Tavern in Atlanta. Clear brown color with an average sized white head. Aroma comes on as it warms providing some malt and fruitiness. Although the palate isn’t qite as rich and chewy as I like my Dubbels to be, this provides a nice easy drinking brew that delivers some nice malt and fruit flavors on a palate that is light and never heavy. Smooth and very drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black stout with dark brown foamy head with medium retention. Aroma is comprised of chocolate with strong malt and some subtle coffee in the back. Taste is very enjoyable with some chocolate being easily noticeable with again strong malt and a coffee and bitter ending. Very fine beer for those last cold winter days…

Bottle. Shiny clear chestnut colour. Malty and sweet caramelly flavour with peppery caramel aftertaste. Might be a bit cloying if not for the generous carbonation.

Had this one on draft at Smokin Joe’s in Pittsburgh. It poured a caramel color with a small tan head. The aroma was sweet molasses and caramel. The flavor was sweet, sugary, and had some molasses, caramel and light fruit. A subdued hop presence was in the background. The mouthfeel was reasonably thick. Reminded me very strongly of Maredsous Double.

On draught @ Redbones Feb 2005. Yellow-gold body, lightly hazy, small white head, decent retention. Aroma of clove, bubble gum, a touch of honey and lightly dry hops. Flavor begins with a big Belgian Witbier sort of thing. Bubble gum, sugar and coriander. Not sure why they thought making this a wibier would be much like a saison, as it’s not. Not much to identify this as a saison. A bit of a belgian yeastiness as it warms, but not much else. Good, but not a saison.
