22 ounce bottle at the Publick House. Clear orange, thick, creamy white head. Aroma of dust and orange peel, and a ton of coriander. Taste is bitter, dry, licorice, pepper, orange. Unbalanced. Odd. 3.2 Re-taste: sample of 2010 version at Paradiso Georgetown. Significantly improved recipe with nice sour grapefruit and barnyard aroma and taste, much better complexity and character.

What a great name for a beer! Tap at Deep Ellum, recommendation of Judy - thanks! Clear golden color, thin white head, solid lacing. Aroma of white bread. Taste has citrus, apple, vanilla. Slightly sour, consistent with Brett and/or lacto. Very nice.

Pours a hazy deep gold into a snifter. Bright white micro head pancakes as it recedes leaving scant spiders. Orange, lemon and yeast aromas. Sweet lemon cookie and honey upfront turning pleasantly hoppy in the lasting saaz and alcohol burn. This one’s a winner.

Bottle sampled at Firefly, pours dark amber brown. Aroma of caramel malts and plum. Flavour is dominantly plum, not very sweet for a Quad, but very fine on the palate. Excellent drink.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with an enormous white head. Light citrus hopiness, light sourness, light spicienss. Fresh. Something about it reminds me of a pilsener. A laid back beer that still has got some character.
