Pours a deep cloudy yellow with a fizzy body and foamy/thick white head. Aroma of spices, orange, slight citrus hops, little skunk(should switch to dark brown bottles), banana, and a tad bit of caramel. Flavor is rich in estery fruit, some caramel, little toffee, and has a hop backbone of citrus. Rich, little dry, sweet, and bitter. A nice combination and a very tasty desert beer. A pricey choice but just about worth it. I was a tad disappointed with the slight skunk aroma. Wouldn’t happen in a dark brown bottle.

Dec 3, 2009 750ml bottle. Exploded with foam upon opening. Pours golden with big head and lots of lacing. Taste is floral, hops, but too dry and sour. Bottle may have been ruined - will probably try again.

Dec 2, 2009 Pours a massive hearty white head that takes an eternity to diminish. Hazy Golden in color. Aroma carries pine and citrus notes lemon and orange, with hints of grass as well. Taste is an excellent balance of strong hop bitterness early on, with a sweeter finish to follow. An excellent beer all around!

Dec 1, 2009 Pale straw yellow colour with an abundance of head. Blew out of my glass with a big foamy pillow white head. Aroma is sweet with hop. Taste is a great blend of hop bitterness and strong Belgian maltiness. I don’t know if that is a word but it is now. I didn’t really expect that much taste to come out of a beer that looked so pale and weak, but man was I ever surprised.

Nov 25, 2009 Pours a hazy very dark golden ripe banana/yellowish orange color with bright golden yellow hues when held to a light source and a massive three finger frothy, pillowy/soapy white head. Excellent retention, only slowly fading into a large lasting cap that coats the glass with chunks of soapy lacing. Lots of visible carbonation bubbling up.
The scent of earthy dank hops filled the room as soon as I removed the cap from the bottle. Although the aroma is dominated by strong earthy oily hops there is a nice bready yeast presence as well as a good bit of estery light fruit notes. Hints of apple, pear and grape as well as some nice citrusy grapefruit, lemon peel and mango from the hops. Slightly grassy and smells like really dank skunk weed. Slight peppery lemon zest spice.
Very hop forward medium body with a lot of bready yeast and estery Belgian yeast, proving a lot of crisp light fruit notes. The strong hop presence up front provides an excellent dry bitterness that lingers throughout into a long dry finish. There is also a nice amount of citrus peel and grapefruit from the different hop varieties, providing a lot of complexity. Strong bready yeast character comes through mid-palate with some more citrus peel, ripe banana and peppery spiciness. Lots of estery light fruit notes, especially apple and pear add to the sweetness and the ABV is extremely well masked making this beer dangerously drinkable. There are so many different flavors bouncing off of each other making this beer extremely flavor, complex and quaffable. Highly recommended!
