Apr 23, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours pure golden in color with a huge, pure white head. The aroma is sweet, fruity, yet zesty. It has a smooth, creamy but light body. The flavor profile is a well balanced mix of spice, cloves, citrus, yeasty dough, sweet honey, and ripe fruit. Another great beer from Garrett Oliver.

Apr 17, 2009 A duvel clone with a full body, spicy nose, sweet taste with yeast. Slightly bitter finish. The fancy bottle and the ingredients don’t hide the fact that this is just a copy belgian, far less interesting than for example what port brewing is doing with their lost abbeys. I’d love to try something good from the brewery but there is nothing available near me.

Apr 15, 2009 bottle, sampled 3/24/07.
Pours a very bright, hazy straw color. Big 2 inch fizzy white head that sticks around for a good long time and leaves plenty of lacing. Aromas of sweet candi sugar, spicy yeast notes, and a sharp floral hop bite. Flavor starts with sharp noble hop bitterness and spicy cloves and oranges. Sweet sugar cookie brad flavors, sharp fruity phenols and some booze on the back end. Well balanced. Spice comes out more as it warms. Very crisp and clean on the palate, very easy drinking with a crisp clean finish.

Apr 13, 2009 Location: 750 ml bottle from Gilly’s, 4/13/09, not my first tasting, but the one I’m rating
Aroma: Lots of fruits, yeast, citrus, orange, a highly complex, extremely enjoyable nose.
Appearance: Hazy orange-yellow color, and huge frothy white head
Flavor: Great balance between the sweet malts, and the citrus hops, really nice flavor to this one.
Palate: Wonderful palate, great mouthfeel, lovely full body, drinks great
Overall Impression:
A really nice beer from one of the really nice Eastern US Breweries. Based on the ratings I see, I’d say it’s a little underrated, a really good brew. Even if it’s not your cups of tea, you cannot deny the greatness of the nose and palate. What’s not to like?

Apr 6, 2009 Pretty solid American Belgian style. A bit overspiced at times but still very drinkable. Nice sweet balance. Smooth and has a slight hop taste. Very good especially for the price.
