Dec 15, 2006 First big american micro i have bought in bottle in arkansas (shitty distribution for this state). Aroma is spicy and peppery hops with candy sweetness. flavor is surprisingly peppery with some sweetness behind but is in general light for its alcohol. lots of hop for a belgian style.

Nov 26, 2006 Nice golden color, good lacing and carbonation. Aroma is a little "thin". Peppery and spicy flavor, with plenty of fruit overtones as well. Not as complex as I was hoping, but a good Belgian ale.

Nov 26, 2006 Clear, bit hazy, golden orange color, short head. Aroma of hop, fruity, citrus, bit herbal, floral. Very sweet, bit hoppy taste, honey, bit dusty. I expected some more of this brew. Not better than average.

Nov 23, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours a light copper with very active carbonation and an off white semi-thick head that leaves clean lacing behind. The nose is full of fruit, smoke, alcohol, and an earthy grain. The taste starts with an apple/apricot fruit combo with a background of hoppy kicks throughout the flavor through to the malty sweet yet earthy finish. There is a very spicy quality to this brew, which offers an unusual balance to the hops. The palate is thin and bubbly, leaving a slightly dry mouth. Although the bubbly feel and these types of hops aren’t my favorite qualities in beers, this beer is complex and interesting, with many fruity hues throughout the temperature changes.

Nov 19, 2006 Bottled, UDRBG. Aroma of hops, oranges and mandarines. Hazy, yellow coloured with a medium, off-white head. Taste is way too sweet, makin it nothing close to a belgian style beer. Even Leffe is not this sweet. Oranges, honey and hops. It is tea with too much honey. Very disappointing.

Nov 19, 2006 Bottled, UDRBG. Aroma is nice, herbal, floral and fruity apple. Hazy, yellow color white head, good lace. So far so good. But then the flavor. Overwhelming sweet, honey and fruity, very malty, bitter finish, sticky. I’m sure there’s more in this beer but the sweetness hides it all.

Nov 15, 2006 Deep golden hues, thin head. Floral sweetness, great belgian style aroma! Hoppy and full on the tongue. Slightly too sweet and undercarbonated. For the ABV being high the alcohol is masked. Good job.
