Jun 19, 2007 Light golden colour. Funky, fruity aroma with light mossy hop accents. Lightly alcoholic in character, with some plasticy phenols and too much sugar. Argh...another cloyingly sweet strong American attempt at a Belgian. My kingdom for some attenuation!

Jan 19, 2008 Fine haze in orangey-clear beer with small whitish head. Very fruity nose, white candi sugar, reeks of high fermenting temperatures, artificial strawberry aroma, and bitter almonds. Finishing oxydized. Prematurely oxydized malts, stuffy grains. Alcohol prominent, including fusels à gogo. Alcoholwarming, medium bodied. Dry thanks to the sugar, but too sweet all the same. Ouch. Too Belgian by far - forced, I mean. Thanks Carl, rare one.

Nov 3, 2007 Bottle shared by goldtwins. Pale golden beer, thin white head. Light apricot and a bit of cotton candy like sweetness, toast and sweet slightly rotted peaches. A hint of spiciness on the back. Flattish flavour. It’s okay, but it could use some more oomph.

Feb 16, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to Kevin. Slightly hazy honey yellow color. Doughy biscuit and cracker nose, heavy on the alcohol and with some Belgian yeast esters. Thick, big, a little boozy, sticky and chewy, but very fresh and vibrant, with a chewy honey coated barley flavor. Finishes with a frothy bite. Interesting stuff.

Jun 17, 2007 Tap @ Brewpub: Gold, light head and lacing. Nose of sweet alcohol and floral hops. Some husky malt. The flavor is very sweet and spicy, lots of alcohol and medicinal esters for so little of a malt body. Finishes sweet and grassy, a bit odd.

Aug 12, 2008 A golden ale with a thin white head. A perfumey malt with caramel and light vanilla. In mouth, a crisp sweet malt, grainy, with a bit of oranges, alcohol and lingering belgian hops. Almost like a Saison. Medium bodied. Very nice. Bought at Booze Bros, Reno, NV, August 2007.
