On draught at the brewpub in Northern Minnesota (man, is that breeze off Lake Superior cold!). Pours a hazy golden pale brew with a creamy white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring and film top. Aroma of Belgian ale character with scents of light banana esters, yeast, a subdued cloves and multi-grain malt. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of light multi-grain malt, yeast and a touch of banana esters. Finish is semi-sweet, some fruity aftertaste of banana and apple.

Reeks of hexane and rotten lemons. Light golden clear pour, with totally diminished head. No lacing. Extremely strong ester profile, which is too much for me. Tastes like a rubber sneaker. Palate thins out fast and leaves a little oily residue. Can’t really finger anything distinct, other than some orange flavor.

2004 ABR. Belgian style pale ale. Quite nice aroma; alcohol & hops. Cloudy gold in color, with small, off-white head. Similar to a Belgian wheat; doesn’t taste like a pale ale at all. Perhaps it was a misnomer on their beer list. Flavor isn’t very strong.

Amber coloring with no head. This is kind of a sweet and hoppy beer. Pretty smooth with little carbonation. Nothing special.

Amber Coloring. No Head. Hops, Wheat. Some Yeast. Very Smooth Going Down. Great Session Beer But Still Enough Flavor to Keep you Interested.
