CharlesDarwin (1408), State College, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 20, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Aroma is a spritzy cookie sugar, faint. Flavor is a gently spicy brown sugar, glowing with some hop cone dust and lemon residue. It’s rather quiet overall and doesn’t really have a lot of the flavors that I would expect from a Dubbel. As well, the hop promise doesn’t really pan out as I expect some amount of good bite in the back splash of this beer. Underwhelming, but clean. Zach Diesel (907), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 22, 2004 yeasty banana esthers, cloudy light orange, initially soft with a burst of spicy hops then yeasty with some sour/spritziness and a hop resurgence near the finish Styles (1653), Taylor, Michigan, USA Nov 20, 2004 Tap: Orange/amber in color. Strong hop bite up front. Well balanced through the middle. Slightly tart/sour finish. Pailhead (2323), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Nov 16, 2004 On tap: Citrus aroma with light sourness. Goldish-orange, lightly hazy with a small white head. Okay lacing. Citrus up front. Some light banana. Nice bitter finish that balances well. A little tart.
