Aug 8, 2008 Bottle. Golden hazy orange colour, big fluffy white head. Aroma of hops, hops, yeast and malts. Flavour is hops, bitterness, soft sweet maltiness and some citrus, with a bitter finish. Soft and dry mouthfeel. I like this a lot.

Aug 6, 2008 Pour is murky gold with a pillowy head. Aromas of banana, sour brett, pepper, lemon, and some belgian sugar. That is pretty much where the sweetness ends, however. Very dry. In the description it mentions Orval, but it doesn’t have the same mediciny quality and is more hoppy. But it has a dry finish so I can still see the comparison.

Jul 31, 2008 On draft at Monk’s Cafe on 7/23/2008
Aroma - Light toasty grain, floral notes, bit of yeast and spice
Appearance - Fairly clear gold in a tulip glass, healthy white head and good lace
Flavor - Soft maltiness and honey sweetness is quickly overcome by a zesty bitterness that is pervasive and lasting.
Palate - Medium body and lightly carbonated, very dry, but not really as resinous as one would expect from a beer with so much hop bitterness.
Overall - Quite bitter, and not for everyone. Doesn’t have a huge hop aroma like many very hoppy American brews.

Jul 30, 2008 Interesting. Obviously Belgian pour ... hazy orange, great head. Not sure it was heavily barnyard, but more Belgian yeast and malts. Some spice and citrus / wheaty lemon, and a long bitter finish. Not a Belgian IPA, but definitely a hoppy Belgian.

Jul 26, 2008 On tap at Novare Res. Pale hazy straw with lasting white head and lace. Spcy yeasty peppery lemongrass aroma. Mild fruity apricot sweetness with spicy hop bitterness, and spicy floral dry finish. Medium-light body and medium carbo. Complex, flavorful, refreshing, excellent.
