On draught at the brewpub in downtown Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that nearly dissipates clean with no ring or lacing. Aroma of candi sugar, some apple, a hint of banana esters, and some wintergreen. Taste is full bodied, quite sweet with flavors of candi sugar, a hint of wintergreen, banana and some alcohol presence. Finish is still quite fruity sweet, syrupy with a lingering aftertaste of candi sugar, banana and yeast.

Hazed straw color with a small lid of white bubbles. Big estery aromas. Lots of over-ripe light fruit with hints apples and bananas. Some lightly earthy honey and malt also in the nose. Light fruit flavors as well. Some honey, pale malt, and floral flavors as well. Some decent flavors. A touch of alcohol. Thick, smooth feel, with just a little zip. While the aromas are a bit unbecoming, the flavors make up for it. Finish and lightly dry with a bit of floral flavors. A sipper for a cool day.

On tap at the brewpub, pours cloudy, and smells like feet. Guess that’s not a stretch given the name. The taste is interesting, it’s sweet then quickly sour, fruity, candi sugared, it gets sweeter as it warms too. Talking to one of the brewers, he said it was just brewed, so it was a young beer, he said try it again in a week or two. I will the next time I’m in town. It’s ok.

On tap at the Grumpy Troll brewpub. Cloudy yellow with a white dissipating head. Aroma of alcohol and fruit. Taste of fruit, malt and alcohol with a bubbly body that finishes a bit fruity.

Tap. Gold/orange in color with a medium head.yeasty aroma and a nice creamy palate.Tastes like a good weiss beer with a fruty finish I’m very happy that it tastes more like a weiss than anything Belgian. Also over 10% Alc but no alc flavor to take away from the rest of the beer! This is one great beer and me and my growler are within walking distance. Now if you’ll excuse me...

Wow. What a different looking beer. It looks like a orange-banana juice and leaves a cloudy appearance on the glass. It looks very cloudy and banana yellow. Taste is banana, clove, pear. Quite tasty!

On tap at grumpy troll. Pours out a deep orangish yellow with little head. Some additional filtration would have helped. Aroma is actually quite good. Banana, clove, pear, and light cherry make an appearance.

A fair-to-good Belgian, probably a little more drinkable than would be ideal, but very tasty. Notes of orange peel and clove and maybe a little cherry on the nose. Nice Belgian-ish flavor, orange peel in the background. Coming after a meal and a barrel-aged stout, this was a nice palate-cleanser.
