Location: 22 oz bottle from Oak Tree, 12/2/12
Aroma: The aroma is sour yeast, funk, some fruity notes, and a little caramel
Appearance: It pours a dark orange-brown color with a small beige head and medium lace
Flavor: The taste comes off mostly sour, with sweet notes, overripe fruit, and some yeasty flavors
Palate: The body is medium, it has an average-to-soft carbonation, and a dry, sour finish
Overall Impression: Not too bad at all. I felt like they actually made a pretty solid Flanders. It could use some work to make it more then just decent, but it's on the right track. I've only tried a few things from Climax, but this was by far the most interesting one thus far.

Aroma: The nose is fairly fruity, with some lemon, apple, spice, hay, and a little grass
Appearance: This one pours a hazy orange color with a fizzy white head and light lace
Flavor: Tastes rather sweet/fruity, some spice, and actually a touch tart too, without much bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, this one has a rather fizzy carbonation, and a slightly tart finish
Overall Impression: This one is fairly interesting, but it isn't really that well done. It's not really on style either. I'd call it solid and interesting, but it didn't totally work.

Poured at home from a 12 oz bottle. Both sweet fruit and sour yeast notes in the nose. Sour cider flavor. Perhaps off? Not real tasty.

Sampled on draft at the House of 1000 beers this beer poured a yellow-gold color with a large creamy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was faint, buttery, tangy and had a hint of vague fruits. The flavor was bitter, tangy and buttery with notes of toffee, faint vague fruits and cooked vegetables. Medium length finish of butter, toffee and fruit. Medium body. Disappointing.

Perfect hazy golden coloured body with a light copper glow and a thick, four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of hay, grass, wheat, coriander seed, yeast and a little sweetness. Medium-bodied; Assertive banana, clove, bread, yeast and coriander seed flavours come through with more wheat than anything else, and a strong but nice blast of sugars and yeast. Aftertaste shows a very good wheatie quality with a nice freshness, some mild yeast notes and a good sweetness that isn’t bitter at all. Overall, a nice hef with a bunch of good flavours and the typical over yeasted/over sedimented Climax beer - but this one is worth searching out for. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2012 for US$6.95 sampled at home in Washington on 12-September-2012.
