Bottle (courtesy of TURDFERGUSON). Light orange peel and malt aroma. Cloudy orange-brown color with small head. Mild orange juice and malt flavor - moderate bitter finish. I’m guessing the lack of pasteurization gives this beer a fresher and smoother flavor - nice transition from fruitiness to bitterness.

Bottle provided by WillBlake at the NYRBG, thanks Jon. 12oz bottle poured cloudy yellow with some lacing. Strong hop aroma (Amarillo?), citrus. Taste is citrus hop. No real malt profile.

2003 bottle sampled at Kuhnhenn Brewery, not sure where they got this. Pours a light greyish brown, but has some darker orange swirls in there. Light tan head that is small and disippating. Aroma has some roasted barley, burnt toffee, lots of hazelnuts and some dark chocolate. Flavor is much of the dry roast, light coffee and plenty of astringent nuttiness. Upon first few sips, wow, this stuff is way too dry, there is almost no sweetness whatsoever. As it warms, though, it gains a pinch of sweetness from some chocolate malt but the roasty/coffee/nuttiness really sticks and lasts through the finish creating a pleasant experience. Overall, it’s quite thin, a bit too carbonated, not well-balanced, but the flavor is decent on the finish and after. Interesting.
