Bottle from a trade with Chickencoop. Pours hazy burnt orange color with almost no head. Aromas of caramel, bread dough and pine. Bitter pine flavor with sweet caramel and some alcohol burn. Medium body with almost no carbonation. Decent, but not the great beer I hear it once was. Thanks Jeremy.

Bottle thanks to Wavers1. Pours reddish brown. Nose of caramel malt, slight honey, light hops and barley. Taste is barley, caramel malt and slight raisin in the finish. Body a bit thicker than expected, but still on the lightish side.

5th Annual Bistro BA Festival. Light gold with a white head. Lightly sweet and mildly sour. Good caramel and earth notes - kinda mushroom-ish. Some fruitiness, mint and lemons. Good beer but not a standout compared to past Valley specials. Can’t wait to try future beers from AgentSteve.

Crisp clear orange-hued golden coloured body with a bright glow and an odd oily-sediment topped (instead of any head at all) beer. Aroma of granny smith apples, candy sugar, yeast, coriander seed and a touch of apricots and oak. Full-bodied; Strong full flavoured beer with honeysuckle, apricots, peaches, yeast, oak, vanilla and a lot of sugar at the tail end. Aftertaste shows a touch of sweetness, a little drying flavour and a whole lot of sugar and fruits near the end. Overall, a good belgie, perhaps a bit too reliant on fruit and sugars without much other complexities. Nice to sample, but not one of my favourite belgian aless, but definitely not a bad attempt. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from City Beer in San Francisco, California on 29-June-2010 for US$7, sampled at home in Washington on 19-September-2010.
