One of my Blue Cat favorites. (2007) Very good... (2008) Not as good as last year, but still good!

Draught at the brewpub. Light yellow and gold colored body. Very sweet sugary candy and nutmeg/anise in the nose. A bit too putrid and spoiled of a flavor, with a large dose of hairspray, and some sweaty, musty yeast. Hardly resembles a belgian style at all. Nasty attempt at a Belgian ale.

on tap at Blue Cat. pours an orangey amber with a fast fading head and little, if any lace. nose was clove, candi sugar and a hint of yeast. flavor was more of the same but with an unusual tartness. as the beer warmed up a bit the flavors seemed to come together better than when it was first served. palate was much too thin for the style! not one of this brewpubs better efforts.

Draught at the brew pub. Clear orange-brown color with 1 finger of off white foamy head that dissipated quickly and didn’t leave any lace. Smelled of light brown sugar and subdued clove. Grainy flavor with a dash of malty brown sugar, grape candy, and a touch of clove. Watery mouth feel and no sweetness to speak of. Thin, very thin. I didn’t detect any hint of the advertised 10% alcohol and there was a strange tart finish.
