kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Sep 6, 2006 Golden with a medium white head. Nice wheaty vanilla and spice. Some grainy notes there too. Nice but a bit clean.
CaryTheDude (436), Ripon, Wisconsin, USA Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Aight, golden ale? This in’t a golden. Almost barley wine tendencies. Very very sweet nose and the alcohol is apparent from the beginning. Very interesting brew, with some good and bad tendencies. tarjei (1360), Bryne, Norway Oct 29, 2008 65 cl bottle at Skallerup Klit. Dark amber to brown color, disappering white head. Aroma is strong fruit and sweetness, hops and hints of alcohol. Flavor is very sweet with dried fruit and alcohol. Nice. sebletitje (512), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 26, 2008 Pours golden hazy, beige head.
Aroma, candi sugar and yeasty.
Taste, malty, thick grainy notes and lots of alcohol with sweet honey. Some fruits (citrus).
Overall sweet with a medium body and thick mouthfeel. Leaves a light apple/cider taste. sayravai (3208), Helsinki, Finland Oct 25, 2008 (Bottled, 0.65l) Hazy golden-amber with a small, lacy head. Aroma of grainy, sweetish malt, spices, yeast and berries. Sweet and cinnamon-spicy, grainy-malty flavor with berry hints and yeast. Without yeast the flavor is slightly rough with ashy hints, and a touch of alcohol. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. A bit too sweet and grainy, although better with yeast. The label is probably the most beautiful ever seen in a beer bottle, but the contents are merely average for a Belgian Strong ale. blipp (866), Grand Island, New York, USA Oct 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. The aroma is sweet fruity with hops and peach. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with light hops and general fruity esters. Lightly dry finish. Pretty good.
