22oz. Bottle: Aroma of yeast, herbs, toasted malts, spices, and a hint of fruit. Poured golden in color with a large, foamy white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is very earthy, herbal, and grassy with some light spices. Medium body. Creamy, tingly texture. Lively carbonation. Bitter herbal finish.

Bomber, poured into a tulip a clear yellow gold with white bubbles, some effervesence, poured into a trappist (Gouden Carolous) it looks the same with a touch of haze, faint malt, malt sweetness, yeast, pear and apple fruit with some floral fragrances, some malt, fruit and sweet flavors, faint spice and pepper, with some citrus bitterness on the tongue that gives a medium dry finish, bubbly and light on the palate, alcohol is hidden pretty well in this brew.

(Bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of mustiness, horse blanket, apple, and herbs. Flavor of floral/grassy hops, clove, light fruit, and herbs with a dry, bitter finish.

Bomber. Pale yellow, semi-hazy with a soapy white head. Nose of bananas, spice, and lemons. Slightly spicy, citrus flavors with a little Wonder Bread thrown in. A touch of alcoholic burn, but really a very clean drinking beer. Not much flavor, not much scent, but easy to drink and very refreshing. This would be a good summer beer, though maybe not worth the price.

Tap @ GD. Poured a clear bright yellow color with a white head. The aroma was malty with a fair amount of Belgian yeast character. The flavor was yeasty with a sweet malt start but a very dry bitter finish. To dry for me. Medium bodied.

Very bright yellow with a pale, white head that fades very quickly. Skunky aroma with a gentle, herbal spiciness. The flavor is very similar to a lager, cold-conditioned, and its not very Belgian-like for me.

Clear, very pale golden pour, with a fizzy, short-lived head - light belgian yeastiness in the aroma, with some banana, floral notes, and a hint of spice - light flavor, tingly in the mouth - light honey sweetness, quite a strong floral character, some herbal notes, and a touch of lemon - a medium hop bite combines well with a moderate spicy character near the end - quite a nice, mellow belgian ale, which is a surprise coming from a brewery that seems to specialize in big beers.

Pours a clear gold color, with a small white head. Smells of crisp grain, light hops, and mild citrus fruit. Plain and simple. The flavor was slightly musty, some decent sweet malts, mild hops, and grainy bitterness. Kind of had a weird flavor to it. The mouthfeel seemed al ittle off to me. Wasnt too big on this brew. This and the samurai have been disappointments to me, especially coming from these guys.
