Jul 6, 2007 Maybe it’s more an imperial golden ale? Classic pilsner/saaz saazish aroma on top of powdered sugar &honey. just a couple drops of orange away from yellow, white head fades quickly. so quaffable but not without a bit of body. a slight hop edge followd by a wall of sweet but not cloying, fairly clean finish with warming.

Jul 6, 2007 Draft Peaks BrewPub. Gold body, nice white head. Aroma is sweet with corn, honey, pale malts. Taste is much like a malt liquor, some caramel, light hops in the background. Not sure how this is supposed to be a Belgian Strong Ale?

Jul 4, 2007 Draft. Pours with a golden color. Aromas of grains and hops. Flavors of alcohol, grains and some metallic finish but not much of a Belgian yeast. There is a caramel like sweetness in the background as well. More like an amped up blond than a Belgian but not bad.

Jul 4, 2007 This reddish gold ale poured with a miniscule off-white head. The flavor is very malty with a slightly bitter finish. There is a noticeable presence of candy sugar and spices, as well as a somewhat carbonated mouthfeel.

Jul 1, 2007 Aroma of citrus and light malt. Orange tinged golden color with a white head. Medium bodied, almost, with moderate carbonation. Starts with sweet caramel/candy, followed by some bitter, along with ripe stone fruit and citrus. Not much spice, except for a peppery sensation as a sip goes down. The finish is not dry, but there is bitter. The overall impression is of moderate sweetness accompanied by disparate flavors. Good stuff.

Jul 1, 2007 pours lightly golden with a thin frothy head that goes away pretty darn quick.
smells grassy with malt and a note of citrus.
a bit sour on the taste, bitter and not too heavy, with a hint of tangerine, and some fermented fruit, lively carbination, leaves the tounge a bit thick and dry.
not as good as their mirror pond or black butte but still alright.
