Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Fruity and spicy aroma, a bit of clove. Medium body. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, with banana, clove, yeast, and dough. Pretty good.

Medium gold body - clear and bubbly with a medium thick head. Faint aroma of flowery perfume and a hint of bready yeast. Flavors are malty with hints of butterscotch, hops, and cirtus. Slighty sour finish.

Fairly good hop aroma. Fairly yeasty in the body with a certain amount of grassiness. Nice and light. I would never have guessed it was 8%.

Cloudy pale yellow pour with a small white ring of suds for a head. Despite being cloudy, you can still see the debris from the lack of filtering. The aroma is flowery, and very belgian. The flavor is true to the aroma, nice and flowery. The finish is quick and crisp. The body is lighter then the aroma leads you to expect. A pretty good beer.

RFD tasting with MJ: A clody yellow beer. Pleasant taste with a nice lemonpell and bubble gum flavor

Hazy, golden body with two fingers of persistent white foam. Aroma of sweet, floral esters with light phenols, apparent hops, buttery malt, and some higher alcohol. Flavor is sweet and under-attenuated. Syrupy fullness in the body. Tastes like a sweet Tripel-Saison. Obviously American.

beer pours (decants) a very bright, deep gold, with a big fluffy white head that retains well and leaves bunches of lace. nose is sweet with a big clovey/phenol content, with perhaps some hop spiciness. good grassy malt flavor with some herbal hoppiness and a whole bunch of clove. also, very fizzy. a little too much clove to be really good, but a nice try.
