Apr 11, 2005 On tap: Lightly sweet aroma with even lighter hops. Slight hazey orangish-amber with a white head. Nice lacing. Lightly yeasty up front with a much stronger pine hop finish than I expected.

Apr 4, 2005 Slightly cloudy orange/yellow, lightly carbonated. Aromas of definite hops, mango (honestly), banana, sugars, slight malt. Strong hops in the flavor along with sweet fruits, citrus w/o sourness. Hops remains long into aftertaste.

Apr 2, 2005 Tap. Copper colored with a decent white head which leaves good lacing. Aroma is quite hoppy and a bit sour. Nice malt presence balanced out with a very big hop bitterness. Much more hop than I would expect from a true Belgian, but quite nice. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Mar 2, 2005 Poured a cloudy peach color when poured into a pint glass. Maybe someone can explain to me why American brewpubs pour Belgian style ales into pint glasses. I just don’t get it. Anyways, the pale pours with a small egg shell colored head. Candy sugar and banana dominated the nose. Taste is lively and peppery with some notes of light banana, clove and slightly astringent. Mouthfeel is really lively. Brewed with Chimay yeast.

Jun 14, 2004 Nice orange transluscent color with good head. Estery yeast aroma, with little hop aroma. Descent malt flavor, a little Belgian yeast flavor, hop bitterness but not too much hop flavor, overall clean and tasty. I found it enjoyable, I didn’t expect a ton of hops, and I thought the hop/malt balance was good, but I would have liked a little more of the Belgian yeast character

May 7, 2004 Updated: Jul 21, 20042004 Draught. Moderately to heavily hazy. A warm orange with red tinges, slightly pale around the edges. Small white head, mostly disippating. Aroma has plenty of alpha hops, light belgian yeast. A light hint of toasty malt in the background, provides decent balance, but the hops are amazingly high in alpha content (cascades) and turns this in to a hybrid of an american pale and a belgian pale. Interesting, but I’m not sold yet, could use some more malt and yeast.
