Commercial Description:
The conception and naming of this beer happened in one fell swoop. Unsure whether to offer a light session beer or a fun ball-buster as our warm weather seasonal, we decided on a beer that would be “a big, fatty boombalatty” version of a Belgian white. And away we went, taking a recipe for a white beer and ramping up the grain bill by 50%; we dropped the amount of wheat by 75% to keep the beer rough around the edges. We bucked tradition by steering the bitterness in the direction of a pale ale, and coupling hops with coriander in the fermenter. The resulting beer gives you all the bubblegum goodness of a big Belgian, with enough crispness to cut through the sweet profile, thus making you want to sip it again and again. Dangerous, indeed!

Lightly hazy deep gold with a think white head. Bubblegum, then more bubblegum. Taste is juicy, explosive, punchy, lots of bubblegum, loads of banana, orange peel, clove, yeast, and, at the end, a big kiss of hops to dry it out and finish it off. Great spice, big wheaty esters, and the palate just rocks--full and rich and juicy as hell. Really nice stuff, very drinkable and still good, perfect for a hot day. Of course, I’m having it in mid-September in Minnesota so I won’t have any more hot days, but I’ll just use my imagination.

Golden toned and hazy with a white fluffy head. A nice aroma with yeast, coriander, bubblegum and hops. A decent example of a belgian ale - I enjoyed it.

[Bottle] Pours a hazy dark golden color with about a appropriate sized white head. Aroma of yeast, bubblegum, spice and sweet biscuits. Taste is of clove, wheat malt, citrus zest and moderate hopping. The alcohol is somewhat noticeable, especially in the finish. Quite sweet overall, except for bitterness in the finish. Decent body, but a little out of balance. Not as good as I had hoped.

Bottle from allendodd. Thanks! Pours a lot amber with a decent fluffy white head. Interesting aroma - almost like nuts. Medium body with mild carbonation. Agree with the site; this is little like a wit; it’s standard Belgian ale. And a pretty nice one it is. I don’t usually get the "bubblegum" references, but this time it fits. Pretty spicey, pretty hoppy, pretty tastey. Coriander is noticeable.

12oz bottle from MrPickles - thanks, Andy! Hazy gold pour with a ton of sediment and a pretty sizable head. Crisp and light body for the most part, and it’s pleasant to roll around in the mouth. Aroma is a bit sharp, very intense grass and yeast backed by a bit of spice. The somewhat aggressive hops combine with that same yeasty sharpness for a flavor that’s a bit imbalanced to me. But it’s sweet enough to be enjoyable overall, and I’m glad to have tried this one.

Gold colour with a medium white head. Aroma is orange zest, lemongrass and corriander wheat tones combine with a candy like Belgian sweetness. Flavour is nice medium sweet maltiness cut through with a tart balgian wit profile. Alc is well blended showing just a hint before a dry finish.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Steve’s Liquor in Madison, WI. Hazy dull orange pour with a thick, creamy white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, wheat, and clove. Mostly good flavor; Belgian yeast, banana, and ginger. Something leaves a slightly bitter feeling on the palate that doesn’t do it for me. The aroma is better than the taste. A good beer but not as good as the aroma.

12oz bottle from Casanova. Poured with a thin white head, dark orange in color, cloudy. Strong yeast & wheat aromas with notes of spice in it. Thick mouthfeel with a very tangy yeasty flavor. Very full bodied for a wheat beer, lots of good stuff going on in this beer.
