2 week old can A: Medium gold pour with very little head or retention. Coarse sediment with even some chunks floating around. S: Citrus, florals, sweet honeysuckle and a faint whiff of alcohol. T: Very fruity and vinous. Alcohol again present but no bitterness. Jasmine is evident but I don't think it really adds much and probably overpowers the hops. Sort of like a hoppy boozy kolsch, not IPA. M: Low, soft carbonation, medium full body, and wet finish. O: I was intrigued by the jasmine aspect but came away disappointed.

2 month old can A: Poured gently to a minimal head that held a ring. Somewhat hazy dusty gold color. S: Citrus, pine and toffee with a whiff of alcohol. T: Strong, boozy and malty flavor of wood and toast with faint tart citrus notes emerging and making a feeble attempt to linger. M: Full bodied with low level of sluggish carbonation. O: Disappointing. Nothing about this stands out or reminds me even remotely of champagne. And at this unnecessary strength, you're better off just having a glass of champagne.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Cracker and caramel aromas. Crisp with sweet, bready caramel and mild earthy hops in the medium length finish.

4 month old bottle A: Pale orange gold pour with a persistent snow white head. Light haze and a few bits of sediment. S: Orange, pine and pronounced caramel sweetness. T: Light bitterness of orange, pith and light pine. Like the nose, lots of wood and caramel malt sweetness to balance, dominating the hops. M: Medium light with average amount of soft carbonation and clean finish. O: I expected maltiness at 7% but this is almost too sweet, like a DIPA. Of course hops pop more when fresh so worth a revisit.

7 week old can A: Pours deep dull not quite clear orange gold with a big frothy beige head that holds up for several minutes and laces in sheets. S: Faint scent of sweet tangerine with a little pith and dough. T: Very fruity with bright citrus flavors of tart pulp and bitter pithy aftertaste. Not sweet. M: Light, crisply carbonated and fairly dry except for light resin. O: Hoppy indeed for a blonde ale but very enjoyable and worth a repeat buy.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A black beer with a mid-sized good lasting tan head. Aroma of sweet dark malt, mild roasted malt, wood, coffee, vanilla. Taste of sweet chocolate, vanilla, cookies, strong roasted malt, a bit sticky, fascinating stuff!

2011 vintage. Dark deep caramel. Fresh malty, deep and rich. Dried fruit, dark plums with deep and burned caramel. Spices, deep and rich, warming with a fantastic layer of wood in between. Extreme round and smooth, caramel, fresh and round, extreme deep in the aftertaste with dark molasses, not too sweetish, lots of wood fitting in fantastic, round and deep. Excellent brew, well balanced, fantastic deep, rich and full of dark aroma.
