Notes from May 2009. Bottle from 2008. I figure it's of the last sixers from the old facility. Can't quite make out the batch... 9(8?)7229(8?)5(9?) Purchased at the Oak Tree Buy Rite in Jersey in early July of 08. I like it with a little hair on it. :) Ommegang Anniversary glass. Left out of the fridge till it sweats a bit. Big foamy bottle bomb of a pour, giving off a puff of lemon/lime yeast as it levels off. Digging my nose in I get much more macerated lemon & a little orange zest. It was a little more floral, & less intense 4-5 months ago. A settled, wheaty/amber body & wavy sporadic lace finish off this description. Taste is very crackery & yeasty. Immensely dry. Slight bit of a grassy bite. A few months ago it had quite an oily bite of zesty orange, though it was still quite dry on the finish. The bubbles bite just as hard. Past it's prime, even for my tastes. With the help of some sloppy notes though, it's suddenly a positive, if a bit nostalgic review. :) I've seen the banner floating in the new brewery, so hopefully it's just as enjoyable.
