Hazy golden coloured body with a white head and a nice amount of bubbles. Aroma of hay, wheat and a bunch of dry coriander seed. Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie flavour with a lot of curacao and sweetness and a good dry character. Aftertaste is very nice with a cool, dry character showing a touch of sweetness on the finish. Overall, a nice wit with good characteristics and a surprising complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Draeger’s Blackhawk in Danville, California on 18-March-2011 sampled in Danville, California.

Bomber from the Co-Op in Davis, CA. Pours very dark brown with a foamy 3 finger beige head. Warm dark malt aromas. Near full bodied. Flavor evinces a touch of heat, but mostly a lot of malt, dark, and I think there’s a lingering note of kandi. Very lightly spicey. I’d suggest it’s not undeserving of consideration as an abbey ale. It’s certainly very good, though perhaps a bit light on spice. There’s just a little. Yummy.

Bottle from New Star-Ell Liquors, San Francisco. Hazy dark amber pour with a bit of sediment swimming about and a small fading off white head. Nose was pretty dang uberbastardhoppy, and almost sickly sweet with notes of butterscotch. Somewhat lacking in finesse but bloody tasty, the flavour was again sticky sweet, and a little on the syrupy side of the tracks. A sack of resin sodden hoppage steam rollered through to give some semblance of balance though. A big in your face beer that packs a big hop hit. Niiiice 1.

Bottle. This was the next to last beer of the evening, so my notetaking skills had slackened considerably. But I remember this one to be fairly lain caramel.
