Bottle: Poured a clear deep golden color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of orange and tea is more dominant then expected and very unique. Taste is quite intense with lots of notes of tea and orange with a bland malt bill. Body is slightly fuller then I would have expected with good carbonation. I must admit that this was a more intense experience then I was expecting and even now I am not sure if I would want to try this often thought I wouldn’t say this was a bad beer.

Bottled at The Globe, Central, HongKong. Clear pale golden, rich firm head. Perfumy nose with mild grss, viola and paper. Sweetish up front, getting drier as it goes. Light-medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Slight spicy finish with a papery touch. A simple beer with good drinkabaility, seemingly designed for mass consumption rather that slow sipping and rating.

Nice hop bite to start with a very earthy overall feel to the flavor. The taste is less fruit and has a more bitter edge to it

tastes like a good cup of joe, cream and sugar included. The touch of sweetness is barely noticeable but plays its part well.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice thin white head and a million bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of corn, wheat, curacao, yeast and a lot of coriander seed - nice! Medium-bodied; Assertive carbonated feeling and a lot of lemon and citrus character up front fading to a slightly mild coriander seed taste ending with a good light wheat taste - very nice and complex. Aftertaste is mild, subdued, sweet and slightly tangy from the citrus. Overall, a very nice wit, definitely good for the style due to its complexity throughout the beer! I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto or can get it at an LCBO! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from the LCBO in Toronto (Summerhill), Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 11-October-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 16-April-2010.

2009 ceramic bottle thanks to blutt59. Batch 09-669-673. Pours with a hazy golden orange body with no head. Aroma of caramel, alcohol and some apple. Taste is sweet, boozy, alcohol, with a bitter finish. Syrupy with very light bubbles. Not my favorite barley wine, not too much character or depth.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small white head and a hazed golden body. Aroma is tart with lemon, coriander and other spices. Taste follows through with the tart and lemony character of the aroma with perhaps a bit of pineapple. Tingly carbonation. Refreshing.
