Jun 25, 2007 Picked up at McScrooges, Knoxville. Clear gold, big foamy white head that quickly subsides. Grainy aroma at first, then it gets pretty fruity and yeasty - some pineapple, some banana. Flavor is pretty much what you’d expect from the aroma, although is finishes a bit drier than expected. More alcohol heat as it warms. Shooting for a Duvel Clone, perhaps?

Aug 18, 2007 Savannah, Ga. Habersham Beverages, 22 oz bomber. Medium golden pour sporting a silky white head with good lacing. Pretty much of a neutral aroma, very brief hints of citrus and maybe some spearmint - not much else. Flavor has some fruitiness - of the melon variety, not overpowering - very mellow. Hint of spiciness in the back end, some candied sugar notes - but overall, not very "Belgian". Mouthfeel is slightly spritzy. Overall, let’s call this one average.

Oct 13, 2007 Bottled. Golden coloured. A small off white head, which dissapears quickly. A bit unclear. Sweet, yeasty and fruity (Banana and slight apple). Alcohol, light banana and some loads of yeast. But the alcohol is a bit too dominant for my likings. Medium bodied. Quite dry and acidic. Ends on a yeasty and fruity note. Is a bit bland, but can stand up to a lot of "orignal" belgian ales. Nice and refreshing.

Dec 27, 2007 Bottle: Misty yellow gold color, light head and lacing. The nose is malty with light pilsner notes, some yeast spice, floral noble hops and a light spice afterthought. The flavor is a bit bitter but has a decent malty mouthfeel. Lacking some of the trademark Belgian yeast esters. Restrained and safe approach to a usually doable style.

Jan 17, 2009 Pours a cloudy, golden color. The aroma is mild and disappointing, maybe a hint of sweet malt doughyness, along with a trace of spice, but it took a lot of work to reach that determination. This is a flavorful beer compared to the aroma, however its still fall short of most classic Belgian ales. Somewhat yeasty and sweet, with gentle carbonation, and spice, accented in the finish by a touch of hops in the finish. Overall a good quality beer.

Sep 26, 2007 Hazy and blond with nice sized lasting head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty with a touch of candy sugar. Sweet upfront before thinning as it finishes. Malts are not overly deep to keep this one thick.

Jul 2, 2009 Clear gold with a thick, fluffy white head. Soft Belgian yeast nose, fruity and saison-like. Flavor is much the same wit ha light citrus tang. Sweet and subtle. Nice.

Aug 3, 2009 Sweet citrus aroma comes through in this bright golden ale with a big thick white head that lingers. Taste is smooth and sweet with some banana, and the tartness one expects in a Belgian. Some pleasant sourness in the finish. Alcohol does not present itself, but there is a little warmth after the swallow. Good stuff.
