A RED SCARLET-X Video Review and Short Film
Sebastian at Cinema5D has released a short film shot on his Canon-mount SCARLET, and some very nice video overviews to go with it. Since you can't get your hands on a RED camera at a normal camera shop — they only sell direct — these video overviews are very helpful. Here's the short, which was shot in 3 hours on the Canon 24-70mm f2.8L lens (more details on the shoot here) and graded in DaVinci Resolve:
Sebastian and crew recorded sound to a Zoom H4n — they couldn't get audio working on the SCARLET, likely because the SCARLET (and EPIC) have balanced 1/8″ inputs. These are nonstandard 1/8″ inputs — they are superior to unbalanced stereo mini input, but require special adapters (I have two of these, which work, and also one of these, which I haven't unpacked yet).
Onto the video overviews. These are collectively less of a review and more of a well-done introduction to the camera. Note via FreshDV that there are reports of firmware 2.0.5, which is the release version for SCARLET, causing issues on EPIC cameras — though 2.0.5 is still marked as BETA for EPIC cameras.
I'm going to leave this one up to you guys to evaluate. What do you think of the images?

So nice. I highly recommend downloading the HD file on the Vimeo site.
The images are awesome. Great short! FINALLY… something that can keep my attention that was shot on Scarlet.
A decent short although it looks like it could have been shot on a DSLR. I guess I was expecting something more out of the image because of it being shot with a Scarlet.
The reviews of the camera are fantastic.
I agree with Jeff.

What about lighting?
It was all natural light, I believe. If they had used some additional lights to help sculpt the imagery of the scene, the camera could have really shined.
That being said, still looks good as is. This could have been with a 5D? Well duh. But they had a Scarlet and were using this short a test to see how the camera worked in the field. Not every short or camera test is gonna push a camera to its limits, nor need it have to.
Fauxtogramme on 01.4.12 @ 11:52AM
It would have been nice to have a detailed establishing shot of the forest, just to check the amazing detail the camera is capable of.
Ryan on 01.4.12 @ 12:30PM
I agree too, the should have used a 5d as a cam on transformers, and drive, and mission impossible, it all looks the same right?!
Carlos on 01.4.12 @ 1:55PM
Ryan on 01.4.12 @ 1:59PM
I guess I should have been more blatant with the sarcasm
Carlos on 01.4.12 @ 3:58PM
haha rereading it was pretty blatant, just been some crazy comments on here lately !
trevor on 01.4.12 @ 4:32PM
they actually did use the 5D for some of the interior car shots in the chase scenes on Drive…
just sayin'.
dirk on 01.5.12 @ 9:21PM
definitely could NOT have been shot with a DSLR. i'm no RED fanboy, but there's currently no dslr in the world that will provide that level of clarity and definition at 1080p.
Brian on 01.4.12 @ 2:09PM
Am I the only person who thought this just wasn't very good (besides the acting)?
It's a camera test. Good movies take a lot of time in prep to make… doing a test with what you have handy, and shooting something that resembles a narrative film, is far more helpful than just shooting people's faces or resolution charts. To me, anyway. Hell, I shot a test film that doesn't even have any dialogue! (coming soon). But I think you have to manage your expectations for test shorts. We're looking at image quality here.
Huascar on 01.4.12 @ 2:30PM
How you compare the batteries of this camera to, lets say, Canon C300?
I actually found there to be a lot of ART in this film.. even if they just whipped it together.
Sure you can probably achieve this look with a 5d, but the flexibility you have when shooting RAW is what makes this camera a winner.
I agree! I liked it…
uh, I have a 5dmkII and don't think in heck it would hold up to this. It would be beautiful and work fine but it would not be nearly as sharp and the highlights would be blown way before the scarlett.
Just adding some realism. I can't afford a Scarlett or C300 so I'll probablly get a mkIII
Oh and the workflow could not of worked with a 5dmkII or even a C300 – on the write up they show the light difference that occurred between the shots. Since he had true raw, he could match the shots perfectly. This would not be possible with a limited codec. I've tried in Davinci and it gets ugly!
Ryan on 01.4.12 @ 4:33PM
I would also add that my 5d would have little to no detailed information in the darks of the scene, especially the dark jackets, plus there are no noticeable compression artifacts, its clean, my 5d is not.
lordbronco on 01.4.12 @ 4:34PM
1/8″ Balanced inputs-interesting! I take there are two inputs-left and right, then. You could just chop up two 1/8″ PC speaker plugs, and wire each individually with the extra ground connection. (For example, it would take two PC speaker adapters-one for each channel, Left and Right, assuming the Scarlett records in stereo). Time to bust out ye olde soldering iron and heat shrink wrap. The signal path would then be 1/8″ balanced male connector to Female XLR or 1/4″ balanced.
The resolution is breathtaking in natural light but I think the real test for the Scarlet will be how it handles artificial light and situations with a higher dynamic range or low light source. For now I am more interested in shorts that are going to test the capabilities in different scenarios. Also want to see various ISO and frame rates before I weigh up its practicality. I know the Sony F3 is a very diverse camera for shooting different situations and by the looks of it C300 has really good low light performance. 5D MkII to Scarlet is a massive difference, will be interesting to see what Canon bring to the table with the MkIII though
Trankilstef on 01.4.12 @ 6:46PM
I pretty much like the shots in this short film. The image and the resolution is just outstanding.. That's what's important to me, to see what this little thing holds inside !
Granville on 01.4.12 @ 6:50PM
Thanks Sebastian.
The actors were very committed and interesting to watch.
The resolution was intense and to me 4K is an entirely different look than film.
I had an adverse reaction to the bokeh. I will have to work out what the factors may have been.
I think that it is constructive to point out the blocking (lack of) simply as an aspect of conversation over the finished product. I am more frustrated (feeling cut off from the story) by having to view the back of the characters, or negative profiles for 75% of the film (and often at crucial reactionary moments) than I am by low resolution. I point this out as a director, but the frustration came from an audience members perspective. I agree that expectations should be managed, but most of the blocking issues would have been somewhat resolved by a few steps to the left or right by the camera op.
Food for thought. . .
i thought it looked really good.
imagine the same thing shot with a min-dv camera from ten years ago. it would look like a wedding video or the blair witch project. i think the point is that this camera shoots stuff that looks 'cinematic'. in my opinion the footage rests in the 'cinema, narrative feature' category and not the 'low-budget, wedding video, home movie' category like old school digital.
Great Picture! Nice colours as well.
Here's a new short of mine:
James on 01.4.12 @ 10:34PM
It DOES NOT MATTER what you shoot on. The camera WILL NOT MAKE YOU A BETTER artist. I've been shooting a web show on a DSLR. I now own an epic. I personally think the better episodes were shot with the DSLR. Focus on getting strong performances and a cohesive story. The camera is not going to do that for you. Here's two episodes..
DSLR episode
EPIC episode
Ned Barth on 01.5.12 @ 7:30PM
James: Joey and Turbo absolutely rock. VERY funny stuff, I was laughing my ass off. Can't wait for more episodes. Also, sorry to disappoint you, but the Epic episode was just gorgeous, don't know if I agree that the DSLR episode was better. You are right, the performance are the thing…I'd watch those clips shot on FisherVision.
Ryan on 01.5.12 @ 8:44PM
+1 Doing casino on epic rather than dslr was a good choice even online
james on 01.6.12 @ 9:31AM
nice shorts i'll be sure to follow the series. the epic is clearly 'better' image wise than the dslr episode. plus, really a lot of dlsr/5dmk2 stuff is starting to look really samey. vimeos littered with it.
I enjoyed both, but the EPIC episode is way more Epic. Good work!!
I thought this was great. Nicely shot, believable performances and an engaging story about a selfish man who should have thought a little harder before he spoke.
John Jeffreys on 01.5.12 @ 2:01AM
Wow, I want a Scarlet really bad now. The amount of freedom in post seems godly.
But why, why so expensive? :/ How does a normal person go about affording one?
Gabe on 01.5.12 @ 2:25AM
You rent. :)
It shouldn't be long before a fair number of people get their hands on a Scarlet…find your local owners and see what their packages go for. You should be able to find better rates than the rental houses offer.
John Jeffreys on 01.6.12 @ 12:03AM
I feel like if i rent, and then fall in love with the camera (which i will), i would be renting so often that it would make more sense to just buy one.
can i lease one or something
moebius22 on 01.6.12 @ 1:33AM
Rental prices could very well plummet as all the debt ridden Scarlet buyers dump their cameras on the rental market.
Gabe on 01.6.12 @ 3:59AM
In that case you get a loan, and then be one of those owners who rents their camera out so you can pay off the loan. I'll bet you can find a fair number of people interested in renting.
I really like the story of this short. That's great. Good characters and all, but the camerawork.. The terrible follow focus. Why? It makes it all looks so DSLR. That's the big problem I have when it comes to shorts made by Cinema5D. It started with that lowlight scene in a industrial place with the C300 and Scarlet. Same thing with the short film they shot with the C300. It all looks so DSLR and unprofessional in a way. The product reviews of the RED Scarlet are really good though, but this definitely confirms that the RED Scarlet is not a camera for run-and-shoot. It takes time. It takes good character positioning, good follow focus and good lightning. This is not worth the camera. It can do so much better than this.
Gourley on 01.5.12 @ 10:39AM
Why are people so harsh on the camera work? It's just a quick test of visual quality. Aside from that people are always trying to put film making in a strict box of rules and regulations. Not everything has to be shot with a locked off establishing shot followed by medium over the shoulder shots and then start moving in tighter when the story starts to get more emotional. Also keep in mind that they had no control over the ambient sounds like passing cars and such so the only options they probably in editing was to use a take with the camera panning to the next character or just commiting a jump cut so that the sound jumping around wouldn't take you out of the moment.
Granville on 01.5.12 @ 2:12PM
I think this is a testimony to what can happen with decent actors and a premise that is grounded in something that most can relate to. The test short is being talked about as if it is a bonafide short, and people are drawn to the other aspects of production:
Resolution √
Story √
Cinematography. . .
I for one was not being harsh. I liked it! Seriously, when you get a "real" thing happening in the frame, the audience gets invested and conversation moves beyond camera specs. That is a pretty rare thing in test shots or short films in general. Thin skin is not conducive to rapid growth.
cows on 01.5.12 @ 3:30PM
I think this is a fine example of cinematography, and I also think it does a very good job of distinguishing the Scarlet from a DSLR. You could get a passable approximation of this look with a DSLR if you really worked at it, but the point is that the RED makes it a lot easier, and obviously all of the things like resolution and color quality are on the RED's side as well. I don't really think that's the main point, though.
I think the point is that, if you actually want something better than a DSLR, you'd have a difficult time of getting a better image than this (at least under these particular settings), at least without spending more than $100,000.
I guess I'm probably more drawn to natural lighting than some people, but this is by far the best demonstration of the Scarlet that I've seen.
Granville on 01.5.12 @ 4:11PM
I am all for climbing (or flying) out of the box.
Some might say the point is mute because this was a test shoot, but hey man, those actor's weren't just standing by a tree holding a chart. They were cookin' . . . So my simple point is that the best camera in the world pointed in the wrong direction, or at someone's back when the story is around the other way is a problem and ultimately the story loses impact. I read some of the harsh criticism over at vimeo. There were a couple of guys there taking pot shots at dogma style filming and so on. I, actually like the fact that in the last thirty years handheld has become a much used technique. It has a very different emotional quality (perhaps more immediate, in some cases, more intimate) than locked off or even steadi-cam.
Even if you jump out of the box, you have to get the action in the frame. In this case, the story got across, but some good stuff was not seen . . .
I am putting together a website that focuses much more on the what's in the frame. Testing writing, acting, camera techniques. I think that as the technology tips fully into affordable HQ, these areas will inevitably be a bigger part of the conversation. These aspects of film making artistry cannot be bought with money. They require inner payments that lead to the long and winding road of understanding the vast human experience.
Detail is pretty darn nice.
Mike Faunce-Brown on 01.12.12 @ 1:59AM
The Video was fine creating a depressing atmosphere. What could be more depressing than a break-up!
Video is only half of it. In English with a clear cut Audio, so much better.

Drake - HYFR (Hell Ya F**king Right)
Artist: Drake
Featuring: Lil Wayne
Producer: T-Minus
Album: Take Care
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 26 total votes )
It's not unheard of for couples who survive a few decades together to gather all their friends and family for a second ceremony and reception; renewing one's vows brings back dope memories, allows you to reconnect with loved ones and, if you couldn't afford an open bar when you were just starting out, it offers an opportunity to have the wild party that you missed out on the first time around. While this isn't quite as widespread a practice when it comes to Bar Mitzvahs, that hasn't stopped Drake from staging a repeat performance of the traditional Jewish passage into manhood on the official video for T-Minus-produced banger HYFR. The work of Toronto heavyweight Director X, this video shows Aubrey Graham partying alongside his old friends from synagogue, along with a few newer faces. One of the latter, Young Money boss Lil Wayne, begins his guest verse in a panda bear ski mask—a fashion choice heads across the net are already hotly debating. Now it's your turn; are you feeling Drizzy's latest single selection and video? How about Weezy's choice of headwear? Whatever the case may be, you can still purchase your very own copy of Take Care wherever fine music is sold.

When the Occupy San Quentin rally ended, San Rafael police followed us to the Richmond Bridge. I don't know if it was Jabari Shaw's orange CDCR jumpsuit that kept them wondering – Is he an escapee, one of ours? – or if it was the sheer magnitude of fearlessness represented by women like Kelly, a former prisoner who would not let her traumatic experience silence her. One brother got so full looking at the guards on the other side of the gate watching that he looked like he was going to leap the gate and hurt someone as he recalled the violations of his person over and over again.

SHERWOOD – One of the strongest football teams in western Ohio will be denied access to a state tournament bid due to the complicated method state officials employ in selection of teams to participate in the post-season tournament.
Wayne Trace lacked three points from making the elite dance. The Raiders finished 11th in Division V tournament rankings. Only the teams in the top eight are allowed to go in post-season play.

Hundreds of students at Reid Park Elementary got their hands on a brand new pair of shoes Thursday morning. Thanks to Samaritan's Feet and sponsorships that cover the cost of the new shoes, children from kindergarten to second grade were fitted with new pairs of kicks for free.
Teresa Hucko with Samaritan's Feet says while fitting the kids for their new shoes, volunteers noticed some of them were wearing shoes that were 2 sizes too small.
"If a parent has to choose between shoes and food first. They're just going to keep putting off that need of buying shoes," Hucko said.
During the morning shoe giveaway program, volunteers fitted new shoes for 341 children.

As the crippled Carnival Triumph is tugged closer to Mobile, thousands of people are awaiting the arrival of the 4,000 passengers and crew who have been stranded for days on a ship plagued with problems.
The ship drew closer to the Alabama shoreline Thursday afternoon, being pushed and pulled by three tug boats. The towing stopped earlier in the afternoon when one of the towlines broke. The towing resumed about 45 minutes later after the towline was repaired and reconnected.
Carnival representatives said Thursday afternoon the ship is not expected to arrive in Mobile until sometime between 9:30 p.m Thursday and 12:30 a.m. Friday. After it docks, it will take another four to five hours for all of the passengers to disembark from the ship.
The Triumph will be the largest ship to ever dock in the Mobile port, Senior VP of Carnival's Marketing, Terry Thornton, said in a news conference. An extra 200 Carnival employees will be on hand to assist the travelers when they get off.
Thornton added that there is currently only one functional elevator on the cruise ship.
The vacation-turned-nightmare began Sunday with a fire in the engine-room, resulting in loss of power, few working toilets and a limited food supply.
Once the passengers get on land again, Carnival will offer them two choices—to take a seven hour bus ride back to Galveston or Houston, Texas, or to take a two-hour bus ride to New Orleans, where Carnival has booked 1,500 hotel rooms. The company said in a release issued Wednesday they will fly the passengers who chose to stay overnight in New Orleans to Houston the next day.
The president of Mobile's Visitors Bureau said Thursday that Mobile has plenty of hotel accommodations available for the 4,000 passengers. He and others are questioning Carnival's decision to send the passengers to other cities instead of providing hotels and transportation in Mobile.
PHOTOS: Crippled cruise ship tugged toward Mobile
Family and friends of passengers on board are beginning to gather in Mobile to welcome their loved ones home, and the Salvation Army is offering them hospitality services as they wait.
To help ease some of the stress, the Salvation Army is offering hot chocolate, coffee and food to the friends and family who still have several hours of waiting ahead of them. You can follow their updates on Twitter @SalArmyCoastAL.
Salvation Army spokesperson Katie Herrera said friends and family members are "really anxious" to see their loved ones, and many are frustrated with the cruise line. Some are worried about getting in touch with those on board to let them know they're waiting, since many of the passengers don't have cell phones with power or reception, she said.
Carnival has released two phone numbers for family members to get in touch with passengers or crew members on board the Triumph: 888-290-5095 or 305-406-5534
A multitude of media outlets are setting up in Mobile to cover the cruise ship's arrival, including a crew from FOX6 News. Reporter Vanessa Araiza is heading up our coverage from Mobile, and you can follow her Twitter updates @AraizaReport.
We will have live reports from Mobile in our 5, 5:30 and 6 p.m. newscasts. You can watch it on TV, online at www.FoxAlabamaLive.com or the WBRC smartphone app.

A mob of kangaroos delayed a professional golf tournament in Australia on Thursday.
It happened at the LPGA Australian Open.
Dozens of kangaroos began running across the course.
Australian golfer Karrie Webb had to wait while the animals cleared the fairway in front of the ninth hole before continuing play.
The tournament is being held at the Royal Canberra Golf Club at Canberra.
Another golfer was bitten by a spider in a pre-qualifying round the day before. Daniela Holmqvist was not seriously injured in the incident.

More than 9,000 reports of child abuse and neglect were recorded for Lubbock last year. But we found out by looking at the 2006 data book that over half of those cases, 5,300 of them, were ruled as unconfirmed cases. That means staff either couldn't find enough evidence a child was in danger or that staff was unable to complete its investigation. Could that mean there are children falling through the cracks of the system?
Four-year-old David loves to do a lot of things. He loves to show off his truck, play with Matchbox cars and thinks goldfish are pretty interesting. But beneath his smile, you would never know he is a little boy caught up in a system his grandparents feel is failing him.
"Every child deserves to be raised in a good and decent home," said Melinda Raymer, David's Step-Grandmother.
Melinda and Ronnie Raymer have custody of their grandson. They have spent most of their time and money in and out of the court system. They were hoping CPS could help them, but Melinda says it is only adding to her frustration.
"I'm a little concerned about some discrepancies that we've come across since then," said Melinda.
Two years ago, Melinda made a report to CPS about the filthy living conditions at David's parent's house in Littlefield. A Littlefield caseworker was assigned and found the risk at the house to have a, "significant history but all cases have been ruled out." But another report in Lubbock said something completely different.
"The Lubbock case states, two different places in there we found where they said there were risk factors for the children to be at home and there was a risk factor with him not having supervision, that it was neglectful," said Melinda, "But at the end of the report it says no risk factors assessed. To me, that's confusing," she added.
To add to the confusion, Melinda's Littlefield caseworker would not be testifying at a scheduled court hearing. Last year, David was attacked by his parents' pit bull. He still has the eight staples in his head where the dog bit him. Melinda wanted David's visits to his parent's house changed to supervised visits to Lubbock. But the caseworker who had been employed with the agency 14 years no longer works for CPS.
"We asked what happens now because that was very vital to our case. She said, well, I don't know. They're having another caseworker look at it. They haven't been able to find all the notes. That really threw us for a loop because it's like wait a minute, this is a government agency. Those notes should be accessible by anyone, her supervisor, anyone," said Melinda.
There are other cases like the Raymer's. "I think it's become more about the system," said a concerned foster parent, resulting in the same frustration.
"They aren't always truthful about the status of a child when you're asked to accept a child into your home," said this woman.
She is a foster parent for CPS ready to adopt her foster child. She requested we conceal her identity. She's upset with CPS because she was told her foster child would soon be available to adopt.
"(The) parental rights were just about to get terminated and we would get to immediately adopt. We kept seeing there were problems and why hasn't it happened yet? Then months later, it was if we never had the conversations about adopting that child," said the woman.
Now, she says her foster child may have to go back with his biological parents. That raises more questions for this woman.
"I know CPS's goal is reunification. That's what we were told during our training. But we never thought they would reunify when there are still questions of safety. What we're seeing is that this list of requirements they give parents to do doesn't have to be completed," she said.
Both families you've just heard from feel the system is not working for the best interest of the children. They're concerned if other families are being treated this way, a child is going to either get hurt or return to a home that is potentially dangerous.
"I know we're not the only case. I know that. I know they say they're overworked, but to us this is very important. One child that falls through the cracks is one too many," said Melinda.
CPS spokesman Greg Cunningham says they know they're not perfect and they make mistakes. But while CPS is trying to continue improving the system, they want to hear from people having difficulty with the system. Call the Offices of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-720-7777. You can also make (online) complaints.
NewsChannel 11 called Representative Carl Isett's office and found out the entire Department of Family Protective Services is up for a review in two years. That is a time when state lawmakers take every complaint they receive and decide if the department needs to be revamped.
If you feel like your complaint is serious and CPS is not listening to your concerns, call your state representatives.
KCBD viewers have also called us to complain about the Report Abuse Hotline availability.
CPS says they have 282 people answering phone calls. In April 2006, they answered 38,430 calls to the hotline. This April, the calls significantly increased to 46,788.
CPS says they have asked for 92 more positions to help with the answering calls. They say the average waiting time is 12.4 minutes. Their busiest hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is a 24-hour hotline.

By James Niedzinski
Staff Writer
---- — ESSEX — Residents packed into Essex Elementary School Thursday night for a demonstration of new proposals by planners with Brown Sardina, the design firm hired by the town.
James Heroux, an architect with the firm, noted the issue was a touchy subject.
But despite the sensitive nature, the two-hour presentation and question and answer period were civil, and people stayed within their two-minute talking periods and had relevant questions to ask.
Mark Lynch, former selectmen and chairman of the Conomo Point Planning Committee, listed being respectful and refraining from personal attacks as among the ground rules, before the presentation started. And while there was a flurry of written questions, residents were initially hesitant to ask questions about the plan, which calls for a reduction of bedrooms and thus the number of houses north of Robbins Island Road.
"This must be a first," Lynch said, after a few moments of silence.
Heroux said his plans emphasized bigger, open and green space parks, based off feedback from the first forum in December.
The plan calls for the number of Northern Conomo Point bedrooms to be reduced from 154 to 90, according to the codes enacted by the state Department of Environmental Protection. The Title 5 mandates regarding septic systems state the town must be in compliance with the anti-pollution standards by 2015.
Several plans proposed by Heroux opted to go under the 90 bedroom mark, in case the town decides to pursue any business ventures on Conomo Point.
"Why stop there?" asked resident Lori Henderson, referring to the 90-bedroom threshhold.
Henderson agreed with Heroux, saying that people who come to Conomo Point do so for the view, not to see the houses.
Lynch said that previous decisions by town officials opted to preserve as many houses as possible, staying close to the 90 bedroom limit.
In addition, Nicholas Cracknell, an outside consultant, said that any cottages that remain standing will only increase in value, as they would likely be located adjacent to a park and waterfront property.
Other proposals include upgrading the seawall surrounding the point, moving the roads closer toward the houses and expanding land out over the water, giving residents a better view along Clammer's Beach.
As for the actual removal of houses or bedrooms, the process is still to be determined.
Lynch said there would be no "bedroom police," as one written question asked.
Lynch said the town would be willing to work with the people who volunteer to have homes modified, moved, or taken down.
Some potential business ventures proposed by Heroux included boat rental kiosks, informational kiosks and boat storage facilities. The ultimate goal, he said, would be to create a passive park on Conomo Point — one for picnics, tossing Frisbees and other light, outdoor activies.
As for funding, Town Administrator Brendhan Zubricki said sales from southern Conomo Point — where the town is giving current residents a right of first refusal — could be used to develop a park. However, any use of the money would require a Town Meeting vote.
Town residents at the forum gave the proposals mixed reviews.
"It was a very well done plan, although I don't agree with any of it," said Robert Doane, whose family owns property on the southern end of Conomo Point. "Keep in mind it's just a plan."
Town resident Cynthia Cameron said the plan was well done, and described the previous plan in December as only a "necklace" of open space, she was in favor of a bigger park.
She said, however, that the small roads and limited space make the Sunday tradition of church services at Conomo Point difficult.
Lynch reiterated the importance of public input, as the Master Plan only has to be accepted by the Board of Selectmen. However, there must be a town vote to decide to act on anything within the plan.
The third and final public forum is slated for February, along with Brown Sardina's formal recommendation to the Board of Selectmen.

versailles rear
I've had a Few over the years , somewhere I have a pile of info about them. I traded the last one as partial swap for the glass 32 roadster body. Not much interchanges with them. bearings, caliper brackets, pinion flange are unique. The Ford design sliding calipers tend to wear out one side of the rotor. whenever I have one apart I sand-buff and lube the mating sliding surfaces. They are narrow, can easily swaped into an early mustang. Most are geared around 2.50, one had a detroit locker. I ended up doing a couple 8.8 in the wrecking yard builds. Fox mustang 8.8, 2 short ranger 5 bolt axle shafts and Lincoln Town car rear disc,

I have a 9 3/8 lincoln Disc rear under one of my T bucket projects. 5 on 5 pattern. I have always read that big lincolns and some of the big T birds were the 9 3/8 gears, but if you do some grinding on a big 9 housing you can get the 9 3/8 pumpkin in the large 9 .

I got my valve spring compressor tool done the other day.
Then I found a broken damper spring and the fun begins....
Got some new springs and they are .125" too short on the installed height....arrghhh.....
I'm thinking of taking the dampers from the new springs and shoving them into the old springs. They do seem to fit nicely.

Yes, I think you're right about the brakes John. Not sure if the axle pattern is the same on the Versailles and the Explorer, as I believe Versailles are large bearings, and may take a different bracket. But a drum configuration would work, or be doable if you opened up the holes.
Yes, I also did some street racing in hi school, and just after. Then when I came home from the military I started racing my BBC Camaro for about 16 years. It got where the car was tired, and so was I. Quit in '89, and hadn't been on a strip again until 3 years ago. These Billetproof events are a great way to race and just have fun. You can run your car as much or as little as you like, and win or lose you can return and run again. I'm really enjoying them, but only do this one race each summer.

Just got this video link sent to me by a friend! The 2nd match up is my Falcon, and a buddy's '56 Chevy. The last match up is a couple more friends, and Robbie's Willys coupe snaps an axle on the launch! Fortunately he didn't get too out of shape, and saved it!

Really nice axle though, with low mileage, from a '94 drum rear Explorer. I'll have no clean up to do, so just store it for now.

Nice relaxing day yesterday. Just goofed off most of the morning, and then hit the cruise out at Beaches/PIR in the evening. Hit 90 degrees, but in the shade of the back row trees, and a breeze, it was really nice. Slow night until around 6:00 when people started showing up.
Going to hit the Pick N Pull half price sale today, and grab a spare 8.8" Ford rear axle in a limited slip 4.10 ratio. Can't pass up the $100 price today for a good spare, or future project.
|Yesterday 12:19 AM
nice work there, John.
Losing my mind without work. I can't really go out in the garage cause I have to help my wife with the kids so I'm just trying to enjoy it while I can. I did get my buck done and both sides of the new tank are taking shape, but one side is being stubborn and doesn't have the right bend so I'll work on that, but this tank is gonna be pretty clean looking, and cute. It's tiny-lololol it's gonna have a grill in the front like a real football helmet with 49ers logo and the way the tank looks it won't look as gimmicky as I thought. It will actually look cool so that's rad. So today I just watched my kids and when momma took them to the park I banged on the new tank sides. I also had to fax proof of my wages to unemployment cause my scum bag boss isn't honest with his taxes. It's ok though cause everyone he thinks he has fooled knows he's a scammer and won't do business with him anymore. The best part is the fraud department will probably alert the franchise tax board of his ways. Thing is, I know this cockroach and he's going to make up a lie and tell the coworkers I called the state/county on him but in actuality his dishonesty is what caused it, just like it has all his other problems.
|Spent 2-3 hours yesterday replacing the HID bulbs in my daily driver. 50 bucks for generic Chinese bulbs(pair) versus 90+ for one bulb plus labor from Toyota. I figure I saved about 450 or so. But all the time I was looking at my caddy and thinking it would be a 20 minute job on it.
|Too Many Projects
Cut out the weak spot on the rocker.
All better now...
Moved on to the bucket seat mounts. I had the left one welded in a couple years ago but the seat was offset to the left because I used the outer hole to locate it. Cut them off and started over...
Got them both done and grabbed the shifter hump. Drew a line around it for cutting.
And 30 seconds later, we have a hole.

Cortona, Palazzo Comunale and Piazza della Repubblica
The World > Europe > Italy > Tuscany
In ancient times, Cortona was founded by the Umbri. Later on it was occupied by the Etruscans, the Romans, Goths etc. It finally became part of the Kingdom of Italy. Cortona is a very fine town that kept its medieval character. It is located on a hillside and the streets in the old centre are narrow and steep.

The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.

Burlington, Vermont - November 11, 2010
New talks of a major addition to the University of Vermont. School officials now hope outside assistance will help them build a new sports arena on campus.
The plans to build an arena for UVM have been up in the air for years now. Thursday, the university said those plans are back on-- but with the help of outside firms they hope will take the vision forward.
The university released a request for information or RFI for a development plan to build a new multi-purpose stadium. They are soliciting ideas from professionals on how to move forward with what the university calls a much-needed facility. This comes almost two years after a campus task force documented the need for an arena. But there is still no specific plan for building one-- or any funding to build one.
So now, UVM is open to considering any combination of private and university involvement for financing, development and management, including enough space to seat at least 6,000 people for hockey and 7,500 for basketball. They also hope it will accommodate concerts and other events, and must be located on or within a mile of the main campus.
UVM officials say this is just one way to think outside of the box to get the arena built.
"I think we just had quite the dose of reality across the world, not only at UVM. We're just trying to be creative in a way to do this without a fusion of university funds or at least a primary infusion of university funds. There may be some other way to do this," said Tom Gustafson of UVM.
And so companies not only in Vermont but all across the nation, have until December 20 to submit a proposal to the university to be considered.
The document identifies two potential sites for the arena, including a 42-acre tract north of Williston Road and east of East Ave, which currently has a few UVM buildings located there. There's also a 21-acre tract on the current athletic campus, south of Main Street and west of Spear Street.
Officials said the cost if built in the near future could be around $85 million.

BOSTON – U.S. Sen. John Kerry announced his staff will hold additional office hours across Massachusetts to discuss local issues, offer assistance on individual cases, and answer any and all questions. They are in Gloucester and Rockport this morning.
"It's not always easy for folks in Massachusetts to make the trek to my Boston office so we're heading across the state to help out everyone we can in any way we can," said Sen. Kerry. "Whether it's providing additional resources or putting folks in touch with federal agencies – we'll be there to listen and help."
Office hours" has been a longstanding, successful Kerry constituent service initiative. In 2009, Senator Kerry and his staff held office hours in all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts.

Purchased 2 33cl bottles at La Cave a Bulles in Paris (along with 12 others)
Served in a goblet.
It pours a dark ruby hued cordovan color (way darker than the typical Flanders Rouge) with a frothy khaki/tan head resting on top. Loads of sticky patchy lacing edges the glass all the way down.
Smells of fresh ground barley, brown bread, cut oak and wet hay are upfront. A smell of macerated berries and fruit mingle with a bit of citrus rind and pennies. A slight whiff of Brett yeast peeks through and remains throughout.
The flavors are very well rounded...to the point, at first gulp, seems a bit bland. However, with natural agitation and aeration the different tastes emerge individually. Light brown bread, figs, mild citrus and a hint of a metallic tang mix and mingle. A very slightly sour/acidic bite is noticed but, it's where I prefer it...in the background.
The mouthfeel is slick and velvety. Not too heavy. Not too light. Not too oily. IMHO, it's the best part of this French version of a Flanders Red.
It may miss the original style's mark a bit, but nowadays,with so many style representations, from so many different brewers, what doesn't?

From 06/12/13 notes. Had a glass of this on tap at La Fine Mousse in Paris, France. Poured into stemware. I asked if this was a flanders and was told no, but it was.
a - Pours a dark brown, caramel looking color, with moderate lacing on the glass, one finger of fluffy off white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of brett, caramel malts, dark fruity malts, oak, musty notes, and earthy notes. Very nice nose; some sourness/brett to it which I like a lot.
t - Tastes of brett, dark fruity malts, spice, bready malts, caramel malts, toasted malts, citrus hops, and earthy notes. Very nice taste.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very smooth and easy to drink.
o - Overall a nice flanders, much better than their blonde I had a few weeks ago. Some brett to it and nice caramel and fruit, and super easy to drink. Would have it again.

3.93/5 rDev +1%
A - Dark, almost transparent chocolate/brown colour with a minimum of head.
S - Strong caramel aroma with dashes of liquorice & dark chocolate and a heap of liqueur (mainly spiced rum).
T - Very light on the palate with just a touch of bitterness. Flavours seem to match the aroma with plenty of dark chocolate and spiced rum. Some sweeter flavours linger as well such as honey and red wine.
M - As above it's quite light on the palate and actually a little too light. Lack of malt here denies this any real presence in the mouth, however it is partially balanced out by the chocolate.
O - The main problem here is the lack of body. It has all the hallmarks of a classic bock but without the texture it struggles somewhat and the pleasant array of flavours is not quite enough to save this drop.

330mL bottle into a Tripel Karmeliet tuilp with thanks to Beermasons.
Deep amber with a monstrous moderately dense beige head. Lacing is virtually non-existent, however a respectable film remains after it finally recedes.
Nose is impressively nutty and buttery, with shedloads of toffee and honeycomb, and a confronting dose of bready and vegetal yeast. Deeper down are sour cherries and raisins. Really different and intriguing.
Toffee hits first, followed by green apple, dark fruits and brandy-soaked muscatels. These are nicely balanced by an abundnace of savoury malt notes. Good stuff.
Mouthfeel is very thin and a major disappointment. There's absolutely no getting round how watery and diluted it is. The ABV seems way too low to properly showcase such bold flavours.
Despite such a major flaw, it's impossible to discount the charisma in the aroma and flavour. Don't really know what this is trying to be (it tastes nothing like a Flanders Red Ale to me) but as an 8% Dubbel it would be absolutely stellar.

Pours a clouded brown with ruby hues and a thick pinkish head. Nose is cherries, leaf tones, and apples. Flavor is fairly earthy, but not powerfully so. Mild cherry tones, like a mild Flanders. Feel is smooth on liquid. Carbonation is standard, I'd say. An easy drinker with a mild Flanders edge. Nice enough.

A-Bright, clear light red color with a large, foamy pinkish white head. Head hangs around and left nice lacing.
S-Light sour notes with a bit of oak and cherries.
T-Dry oak and sour cherry notes. Very pleasant biscuity malt in the background.
M-Medium-light body with zippy carbonation. Lasting oak dryness.
D-Crisp, light, refreshing. This brew would be perfect for a hot summer day. Lively, dry fruity notes are very tasty.

Bottle courtesy of Phyl21ca poured into a snifter. Thanks Phil!
Pours a deep hazy reddish amber with a huge three finger head that almost came out of the glass. Retention is fantastic and the head hung around for ages leaving some pretty good lacing. Smell is of sour cherries and bready malt with a little sweetness (maybe caramel). Taste is slightly tart with apricots, cherries and a heavy dose of sugar. There are also some spiciness in the taste though it's not easy to determine which ones.
The mouthfeel is fairly light and crisp with a definite pucker of the lips present. This is an interesting beer and I'm glad I tried it, but it's probably an average belgian ale, all in all.

Bottle: Poured a clear light reddish color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma of lightly sour notes with some oak notes. Taste is also a light mix between some oak and some sourness with some light vinous notes. Body is average for the style with some good carbonation. This beer really reminded me of the Classic Rodenbach and would be perfect for a hot summer day.

Drank that at the latest Mondial in Montreal. Talked with the maitre brasseur while drinking this delectable beverage. Frankly, I hesitate to call this a beer. Where I'm from, this would be refered to as a malted beverage. This is not a negative comment by the way. It's just so different from what I'm used to drink.
Poured out a hazy red color with a good lookin' head that lasted the whole glass.
Unfortunatly, I'm having a serious problem with my nostrils these days. So I could not detect the caramel and all the roasted malts that everyone's talkin' bout.
Taste was a pleasant one. Tastes of cranberry (?!) dominates this beverage. I'm sure this would be a great companion to grilled meat. Unlike other reds that have a roasted and sweet taste, I cannot perceive that caracteristic in that one. Funny thing, while I was there, we were joined by the maitre brasseur from L'Alchimiste. We talked about those different aromas and I think that the Lanaudois was on to something ;-)
All in all, a really pleasent drink and, if I get the chance to taste it again I hope it'll be in front of a great piece of steak :-)

Beer bottle (33cl), tasted in 2006.
Appearance : orange color with white foam head
Smell : roasted malts.
Taste and mouthfeel : Very aromatic beer, a little spicy, and is a remarkable table beer to accompany the meat.
Drinkability : Despite the name, it has nothing to do with style "red flandres", developed in Belgium, because it knows no lightning in the maturation of wood.

On our final night in Paris, we had our best meal of the whole trip at a wonderful restaurant called L'Ourcine. Everything about the experience was great. Careful time and consideration went into all aspects of the meal, including the beer. They only had two beers available - both regional artisanals from Brasserie Thiriez in Flanders.
The bottle was poured into a chalice and yes, it was rouge.
It had a pleasant aroma: dark cherry with strong malt and caramel flavors. It's flavor was less sour than expected, which is traditional for a Flanders Red Ale. The malts were the most prevalent taste with hints of fruits and raisins. It paired well with my meat dish, so no surprise to see a cow's head on the bottle.

Poured into Delirium tremens glass, consume by 11.07 on label.
Appearance: A dark copper red, a slam lace of head which dissappeared all too quickly.
Smell: Very malty smell with hints of carmel and some faint nector.
Taste: Very light, sweet on the front, more malty on the back.
Mouthfeel: Slightly thin, yet still rather smooth mouthfeel, solid in this department.
Drinkability: An enjoyable beer with no flaws, just didn't show me anything spectacular.

The beer was reddish brown with an off-white lasting head which worked it's magic to lace the glass.
The aroma was strong dark caramel with toffee and butterscotch. The beer was fruity with a very light pepper character.
The flavor was caramel with a very strong presence of diacetyl. The flavor was fruity with a light bit of peppery spice and a bittering that was fairly high and earthy.
The finish was dry with pepper lasting with diacetyl into the aftertaste. The body was medium with a carbonation high enough to lend a creamy mouthfeel. The beer was a bit too high in diacetyl for my tastes.
Draft at Bruxellensis (9/9/06).

Lot 1111, dated 12/05. Hand carried back from the brewery by a good friend!
Dark amber, semi unclear, khaki creamy layer of head. Pungent, malty, and yeasty aroma. Smooth and silky, just flows so nicely that you do not even feel the carbonation. Medium body. Dark malts, very balanced, hints of sugary sweetness towards the end of the sip. Tastes almost like a good brown ale. Very good flavor and feel!

Very fine and dense head on a nice orange/ruby color body. The smell is meaty and earthy, with some torrefied malts reminiscent of whisky. The taste shows some roasted notes of coffee and meat, some fresh and citric fruity and wheaty notes and a light but noticeable hoppy astringency. Drinking this beer just makes me want to eat the cow that's represented on the label. The beer was actually produced in reference to the Rouge Flamande, a specific type of cow of the northern part of France. This would be perfect to marinate beef, like in a carbonnade flamande. A little bit smoky, but greatly light and aired for all the meat impression it brings to my mind. Damn, this beer made me hungry. Mouthfeel is enjoyably round, showing some strawberry notes along with the more general soft melting meat character. A lasting aftertaste on the palate, not excessively thick or really chewy, but just not weak either.
Between a red ale and a Flanders red ale, with a wooden profile but very light hints of sourness, unlike many Flanders ales.

Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report December 12th, 2009
Blustery fall conditions have dominated our weather patterns here on the Mosquito Lagoon this week. The wind & rain has finally, hopefully moved off!! The temperatures have ranged from the 50s to near 80's, and the water levels are DROPPING! All this being said it looks like a great fishing week or so to come! Look for all of the lagoon species to be active with this weather break..Time to get out there..
On the days that I was able to fish, schools of redfish were found in several of their early winter haunts, also some days cruising reds along the banks crashing bait made for some explosive takes! If you see redfish crashing bait along the shorelines, try a small presentation such as a Riptide Realistic Shrimp on light tackle or a deceiver fly pattern for the fly-rodder, and hold on!
Topwater lures such as the saltwater chug bug will continue to produce this time of year early in the mornings and under grey skies.(Which we had a lot of this week). Quite a few nice trout were caught this week on surface lures. Other producers this week include the old reliable live shrimp and live mullet.
The fly fishing has been spotty at best this week. Sticking with the fly rod on those days when the wind is up can improve your casting. Keep this in mind and blind cast to likely fish holding ares, make a few quick strips, if nothing is interested pick up and find another spot for your next presentation. An effective pattern for this technique is a sparesly tied clouser or streamer. I like the brighter colors in off-colored water(such as lime or chartreuse), while sticking with more natural colors in the cleaner water areas.
The Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River should continue to swing into winter mode and the reds will continue to focus their attention on the bottom. This should make for some excellent tailing action in the weeks to come. It is absolutely the best time of the year to sight-fish for redfish!
Call Captain Mike at 352-255-8175 or visit us on the web at www.hotfishcharters.com to book your Mosquito Lagoon fishing trip! Happy Holidays!
Tight lines, I hope to see you out on the water soon!

Shared a 750ml with the homebrew club during their barrel project brew day 1/29/11. Thanks to Marshall for bringing this 3+ year old bottle to share as I am new to the Biere De Garde Style.
Appearance is amber in color with some soap like head with minimal lacing left around from the short retention.
Aromas of carameleized malts, some rum, wood and spice notes. A dash a musty and wood aromas were present.
Tastes as it smells with a spicy finish and lasting aroma is the feature of this brew.
I need to visit this one again if I get the chance to get some more deatiled notes. Overall the group consensus was this was a respectable example fo the style, I just need to try a few more before I can make a more objective judgement.

Pours a rich copper with a nice two finger head that settles nicely,aroma is definently spicey all malt and sweet caramel with a touch of bread.Very firm malt taste to this beer lightly sweet with a vegetable flavor that lingers in the mouth,I get a light burnt note as I drink more along with some over ripe melon.a rich and tasty brew that Iam sure goes well with hearty fare.

My first beer of my trip to beer hell (Rural Southern France) and also my first Biere de Garde. Surprisingly this readily available treat isnt half bad. Still its nothing to write home about. Rich amber color on the orange side. Thin white head that disappears immediately. Relatively bland. Sweetish with light caramel malts. Silky. Little to no hops are found in this. There is a faint odor of fermented fruits. Nothing particularly special going on here.

Deep amber pour with a frothy nice two finger white head on top. Hints of red coming through from the light. Nice. Sweet and sour mashed grain mixed with light fruitiness..hints of apple, pear and lemon. A bit underwhelming overall.
First sip brings a sweet and sour maltiness that has notes of fruits and some hints of figs. Quite sweet on the way down with some spiciness and lots of fruity character. An interesting farmhouse ale.
Creamy, medium bodied mouthfeel....goes down smooth. A tasty brew overall...but it's not something I'd drink regularly...nice for a change of pace. The sweetness gets to be a bit much by the end of the bottle.

Pours a sort of peachy amber beer. Cloudy with an off white form head -- slight stick, average retention. The beer clears up and drops real bright when warmed up a bit (deep amber).
Medicinal, phenolic spice (faint ginger), grassy aroma.
Smooth full-body. Meaty malt character with a pronounced sweetness and caramel malt backbone. Very sweet actually, but in a sweet tea-style way (thick-ish & sugary). Hops are soft and lend a gentle bitterness that is nearly masked by the malt character. Bit of a "gingery" flavour seems to be common throughout the tasting. Slight touch of oxidation (wet paper). Finish is rather clean, a bit dry, and has faint lingering flavours.
A classic Biére de Garde. Flavourful, refreshing, and impressive when unleashed on your non-beer drinking friends. Comes in a 750ml corked and crowned green bottle. Nice pairing for nearly any food type.

Pours a hazy copper orange with a small head that goes away pretty quickly.
Smell is of slight caramel malts, phenolic, and some spiciness.
Taste is more pronounced than the aroma. Very sweet malts hit you right up front, very bready, slight toffee flavors, sweet sugary, ending with alcohol and hop spiciness.
Mouthfeel is medium mouthfeel, feels creamy in the mouth, pretty carbonated.
Overall, this beer is decent. Not something I would go out of my way for.

Presentation: 750 ml green champagne magnum, blurb about the beer on the right of the label … not freshness date.
Appearance: Deep and drawn out reddish amber colour with an impressive off white head that stay two fingers deep for a bit then folds slowly into a curtain of lace all the way down the glass.
Smell: Earthy aromas of grass, mineral, fresh cut rinds of citrius and apple peel with a touch of honey sweetness.
Taste: Rich medium body, crisp and smooth all over with a semi slick mouth feel. Mild pungent twangs of citrus and apple peel with suggestions of spices like cinnamon, coriander and parsley. Hop bitterness is kept to a minimum though lends some flavour which doubles up with a phenolic character for a complex herbal and lightly medicinal flavour. Metallic? Malt sticks with a good dose of sweetness in the middle and gets almost honey like, vague raisin bread taste flashes quick on the tongue. Alcohol slowly emits a spicy tingling sensation that complement and enhances the brew even more. The finish consists of a dry phenolic astringency, remnants of the citric and apple peel and the spicy alcohol.
Notes: Big and beefy French Ale, treat this one with respect and bring it along on a picnic with assorted cheeses, beer bread and fruit. More of a "treat yourself beer" or something to toast with other than champagne. Obviously complex and sophisticated to say the least.

This is a new style for me, and it took a couple of bottles to get a handle on its character.
The pour is a clear, actively carbonated, copperish gold body with a two finger, bone ivory head that is tightly knit, retains well, and leaves some small chains of lace.
Aroma is restrained, with a perfume hop character and mild, swwetish caramel malt.
Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, with a soft, medium body.
The floral and herbal hops produce a mildly bitter and perfumey taste, akin to sipping a carbonated, lilac tea that is carbonated. Alcohol is a minor player.
I like the style. It's refreshingly different. Light and mild, overall, and the floral hopping combines with the malt presence very well.

Decent amber color, white head, trace amounts of lacing. Slightly sour, green apples, cherries, and maybe even some strawberry. Taste is of nice sweet caramel, with some very subtle fruit undertones. Higher carbonation, heavier side of medium bodied. Pretty good beer, I don't know that I'd get this often but I'm sure there are plenty of occasions in which it would work quite well.

750ml corked bottle. Poured into a tulip. I've now had 6 of these as many weekends and it's firming up as my go to regular because the balance of elements lends itself to a very enjoyable, slowly sipped amber.
Personally I like strong ambers and almost sweet tasting notes and this is the perfect blend for me.
Glad I found this beauty, we don't a lot of variety in this space in Australia. Dan Murphys has started stocking it alongside the regulars like La Chouffe and Chimay. It's replaced La Chouffe for me if presented the choice ( and I LOVE La Chouffe )

Small 11.2 oz bottle from a four pack...clear light brown with an orangey-red caste to it, bright and luminous. Whitish head rises above 1/4 of an inch and has average staying power. Simple lacing but a nice spread across the glass. Aroma is spicey, verging on metallic and with ample citrus qualities. Medium body, less carbonation than in some Biere de Gardes. Begins malty, biscuity and sugary lemon bars with powdered sugar frosting, some sweet apple pie. Makes a nod toward drying mid mouth and finishes with some yeasty tones and a very subtle hop. Could tighten up even more for me, the aroma had me thinking a dryer finish was in store. Still, this is a creamy and quaffable brew.

From a 11.2 fl.oz. bottle. The label doesn't match the picture exactly. It claims to be a 'French Farmhous Ale' and doesn't mention its Biere de Garde status. Nonetheless, I'm fairly certain we're talking about the same animal here.
Pours a billowing white head over a deep amber body that is slightly orange around the edges. The head rapidly fades, but leaves a nice coating of lace on the sides of the glass. Aromas of ripe fruit, sweet malt, a touch of pepper and a bit of alcohol. More sweet and citric ripe fruit up front in the taste, with a mild yet complex profile of sweet and caramel malt. Not as much of the spice in the taste, but there is a definite warming alcohol presence, especially noticeable at the end of a sip. Rather lean mouthfeel, but the complexity of flavor carries it. Substantial carbonation makes it crisp and refreshing in the mouth.
This beer should be commended on its combination of lean body with an abundance of complexity and flavornot an easy feat. This is a bit leaner bodied and less sweet than some of the other biere de garde Ive had the pleasure of drinking. While I my own malt cravings would prefer a bit more malty sweetness in this one, its leaner body makes it refreshing and an excellent accompaniment to a meal.

Very drinkable biere de garde, not as complex as say, 3 monts, but very pleasurable drink, spicy, light to medium body, hints of caramel, but maybe a bit sweet at the start, decent.

(Served in a flute)
A- This beer has a warm light orangish-golden body that is crystal clear with a strong champagne carbonation. There is a thick creamy head that keeps growing and last and last.
S- There is a soft honey malt note and some nice spicy hops in the finish. There is a note of toast that mellows out the sweetness in the smell.
T- The taste of crisp dry lightly toasted malt balances with a nice German noble hop finish. There is a hint of fusel alcohol at the finish. The malt has a very faint caramel note as it warms and it is a nice compliment to the toasted malt. In the finish there is a faint sulfur note to the dryness and the hops.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a slight watery texture in the finish. There is no note of the fusel alcohol in the mouthfeel.
D- This beer has interesting qualities that remind me of a really good fresh kolsch but it also has some more depth and complexity in the malt. I guess there is a faint "cellar" taste that sets it off but it is not really a distinct flavor.

Blew some dust off of this at a coffee shop in Missoula, MT, and brought it to a good home...
This beer pours a very hazy, dense dark amber hue, with two fingers of foamy, creamy pale beige head, which settles to leave a small ring of lace around the glass. It smells of biscuity caramel malt, a bit of dark fruit, yeast, and earthy hops. The taste is bready, caramel malt, some more mild yeast, a bit of boozy fruit, and floral, earthy hops. The carbonation is on the soft side, the body medium weight, smooth, and moderately creamy. It finishes mostly sweet, with the caramel and yeasty fruit carrying on.
Overall, a nicely drinkable, multi-faceted ale. Well balanced, even reserved, but solid nonetheless.

Poured from a 750 ml. bottle into a Hennepin flute.
A--Beautiful French body, this is like the Carla Bruni of Biere De Gardes, with a deep russet copper hue that just shines near light. Soft periodic bubbles rise up to complete the portrait. Head was a finger and a half of white foam that died quickly and didn't lace, which was the only downside to the appearance.
S--This smells so malty as to almost be a barleywine. Weird. The caramel and toffee and significant alcohol whiff are all fine, but crowd out any fruit, funk, herbal, or earthy notes. Meh. Just an onslaught of malt, which is fine but not very funkay.
T--Same deal as the nose for the most part. There is a faint apple and pear thing going on toward the back of the flavor profile, but mostly there is so much molasses and toffee and caramel that this tastes like a werther's original that's been macerating in bacardi 151 for about six hours. There's a bit of damp earth in there, in the way way background, but not much. No hop presence--all malt all the time here. Again, very barleywine-like.
M&D--Both are fine. Carbonation is medium and soft, giving it a champagne feel. Drinkability is not real high because it's so dang sweet.
If you like barlewines, go for it, but this misses the mark in terms of earthiness and must and dank and all that cobwebby crap that I love in the style.

Cork popped rather easily off of this 750 but thankfully there was nol rush of beer. Poured a nice coppper color with a quickly dissapating white head. Smell was delicate and floral. Taste is full of subtlities, slightly sweet and mayber pepper?? I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me. A lot of malt is present though which grows stronger as it warms. Pretty drinkable in my book. A nice treat every once and awhile.

Smoky orange trimmed with a bountiful and long-lasting sandy froth.
Perfumed of lilacs and rose petals, touched with a cork spiciness and dashing malt sweetness.
Begins doughy and sweet, full of sugar cookies and toast smeared with apricot preserves. Corkboard and cedar, along with a dash of thyme appear midway as this gallops towards dryness. Ends with a fully expressed, but minorly bittered, floral notation, with those same lilac and rose promises from the aroma.
Mouthfeel is divine in its nible heft. A fully creamed, effervescent skim milk.
As easy to gulp as it is to savor.
It's perhaps not the most intricate biere de garde, but it's fully realized, cohesive and delicious. Just a joy.

Amber in color with a creamy, thin white head. Soft, barely detectible aroma with faint hay elements.
Crisp and very dry, leaving fuzziness on the tongue. Total hay and farmhouse in the taste with a touch of sweetness. Bubbles on the tip of the tongue, goes down easy.
Easy drinking and a nice change of pace. Really crisp.

A smooth easy drink. Strongly carbonated, refreshing. Like an amber with a purposeful off taste, some nuts, citrus, corriander, parsley salt,carrot, and malt. Different and it works. Good thing Volo Caffe held on to an LCBO bottle from a couple years back, although I think that took away from aroma.

Picked up a single at Riley's here in Madison.
Pours a crystal clear dark amber with a finger of bubbly head. Nose is subtle grassy tones with hints of apple skin. Taste continues with light grassy and overripe apple juice notes above a caramel malt base. Mouthfeel is clean amd crisp, but overall lacking. This beer reminded me of Viking's Honey Moon braggot, which I couldn't finish. I was able to finish this one, but it didn't quite sit well with me. It was refreshing, but not tasty enough for me to want another. I'd like to see what some other biere de gardes taste like before I write the style off however.

12oz bottle stamped with a best-by date of 03/2005. Poured into my Duvel tulip a dark amber hue with a nice, frothy 1-inch head. Good carbonation. Aroma of Belgian yeast, sweet malt, and light fruit. Mouthfeel is nice and sturdy, not too thick, not too thin. Palate is very fruity, with essence of peach and grapes, sweet malt, and light floral hops. Yeastiness comes through towards the back of the mouth, along with a bready character. Slightly bitter aftertaste is a bit unpleasant and keeps this from being a more drinkable beer.
