Poured a nice hazt gold with white head, ok retention. Aroma of slight bannana, malt, clove, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt with light notes of bannana & Clove, and other fruity notes I can not identify. Palate is medium carbonation, medium mouth feel.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | May 18, 2008 Pours a hazy golden yellow, with a stark white head that dissipates quickly. Doesn’t look like much. Aroma is biting and sharp - barley and citrus will open your eyes - something reminds me of Blue Moon, coriander, orange peel? Cloves. Wretched taste that the slight alcohol burn on the end does little to help. It’s all hopped up and salty. Bitter apricot with a bit of creamy, sweet malt (if your paying attention). Medium bodied. Remind me to stay away from Belgian-style ales, regardless of color. craftbeerdesign (744), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 10, 2008 bomber. pours a light golden color with a 1/2" white head... spicy and citrus aromas. There is a lot of spice on the palate with a touch of apricot. Very soft over the tongue and finishes strong with a slight bitterness and heavy spice presence. Overall very enjoyable and easily drinkable. Solid. Rciesla (3565), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Pours golden color with a sweet malty peachy/pear aroma. Good spiciness is well detectable throughout this offering. One of my favorites from avery. MatSciGuy (630), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA

Poured a clear gold with moderate off whiteish head. Aroma is sorta musty, with some cloves and spice. Flavor is pretty malty and sweet with a gradually growing bitterness. Nice rich, full mouthfeel. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2008 The beer pours hazy orange amber with a thin white head that isn’t very lasting. The nose is a mix a stone fruit with an underpinning of hops and metal. The flavor is a very powerful mix of fruit coriander, hops and alcohol. The finish is a sweet mix of stone fruit and Belgium yeast. Juelze (895), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2008 Pours a golden color with light particles floating about. The head is off white and thin, and to top it off, it fades quickly. Aroma is belgian sugar, banana, nutmeg, clove, and alcohol. Taste is banana, nutmeg, clove, light funky yeast, Belgian suger and light peach. Palate is slightly alcoholic but not too abrasive. Overall, it’s a pretty damn good BSA. cstuartj (305), Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2008 Pours a sparkling golden yellow with a snowy white head. Noise is very spicey, with yeast undertones. Head is thin and lacing is minimal. Very spicey attack, malts and yeast back up the attack and finish is smooth and prolonged with a standout bitterness on the tip of the tongue. nice beer overall.
