Cloudy light orange with a thin white head. Lightly spiced with slight bitterness from the hops. A little sweeter than I prefer but not a bad Belgian ale. I might try it again if the price would come down. $6 seems a little excessive.

pours a clear amber-orange with a small white head, good lacing.
smell is caramel, spice, roasted malt.
taste is thick and creamy, caramel, spice, malt, few hops in the back, end is on the thick side.

Sampled from bottle: pours a vibrant, translucent golden-orange colour with a small white head. Lacing left behind is scattered, but noticeable. Based on my stuffed up nose, the aroma is of bananna, honey and ripe mangoe. Taste is sweet, bubbly with plenty of tropical fruits. Pineapple and lime. Finishes very nicely.

Bottle. Pours golden with thin white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Taste is of fruit, slightly sour. Pleasant beer, nothing special. Needs refinement.

Bomber. This beer reminded my a lot of New Belgium’s trippel and it made me hard not to think that. True to the light Belgian style ale with the alcohol not very noticeable. Banana and yeasty notes complimented with a little bit of hops. I guess I was expecting more or maybe I am not very fond of the style.

Tap at Pap. I don’t usually like lighter Belgians, but this was very nice. Reminded me of Castelaine de Garde but stronger and with more bite. Tart mulberries, yeast, sourdough bread, funk are what I picked up, mixed up in that classic ’trippel’ taste. Tastes like it’s from Belgium, not Boulder, so I guess they hit their mark.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy honey color with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is mild apricot/citrus aroma and yeast. Taste is yeast, light bubblegum, spice and a bitter hop finish mixed with alcohol. Medium, tingly mouth feel. Not bad, but not something I would seek out again.

Had the version of 2008, 2005, and 2002 in a vertical tasting. Very nice and still the 2002 version was the best
