Nov 8, 2009 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from Riley’s Wines of the World in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy golden amber colored brew with an average sized off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of golden grain malt, candi sugar, a hint of sweet apples and some clove. Taste is full bodied, flavors of golden grain malt, candi sugar, some yeast, banana esters and a hint of clove. Finish is semi-sweet with some fruity profile and Belgian yeast aftertaste.

Oct 23, 2009 Hazy golden color with very little of a white head. Fruity nose with apples, some banana and spices. Honey sweetness with a bready backbone, some banana, apple, tangerine fruitiness and a clove spice. Yeasty, as you would expect, and the alcohol only becomes noticable as it warms.

Sep 29, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours pale amber with no head. Aroma is rather sugary. Medium plus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is tripel like, but turns rather honey/caramel. Fruit and clove are rather mild. Despite the sweet there is bitter. Also a hint of heat. With a bit of time I could buy bubble gum. Not terrific, but a pretty good beer.

Sep 23, 2009 nose is ultra juicy fruits including a near pinapple note and some spiciness as well that finishes with a hit of booze. body is cloudy even by dark horses standards, looks thick like liquid caramel. flavor is more fruits with huge round juicy center that makes my mouth water. big yeasty finish with good bitterness to boot on the way out.
