Apr 20, 2007 24 oz. bottle. Light amber with big head that disapates quickly. Orange, tinge of fusel and bannana esters. Sweet toasted malt, smooth caramel with cloying and spicy finish. Medium mouthfeel. Could be better attenuated or less dextrousness.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle.
Yuck - I had this about 6-7 months ago and remember hating it... tasted like a cheap malt liquor to me - maybe I need to give it another shot. But I know the balance was way off

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Bottle provided by csbosox, thanks Chris! Pour is cloudy straw yellow. Smallish off-white head. Taste is malt, yeast and hop in that order. There are also banana and clove in there as well. After taste sticks around just a touch too long for me.

Apr 10, 2007 Slightly cloudy, golden/amber appearance with a large, off white head and decent lacing. Yeasty, herbaceous aroma, lots of spicyness, with some floral hops in the background. Malty, yeasty taste, balanced by a nicely hopped, bitter (but smooth), spicy, dry, herbal range of flavors. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel with a long lasting, dry, mildly medicinal finish.

Apr 8, 2007 Pours a hazy yellow with lots of yeast floaters and a creamy, fluffy head. Aroma is clove spice, banana and lemon. Taste is the same, strong flavor though. For me, I think this is a damn good Abbey for being brewed in the United States. It should actually be considered a new style as there is no way these new beers can compete with their pedigreed uncles from across the pond. Still I liked this one, including the yeast floaters and all. Sampled from a 650ml bottle.
