Dec 10, 2009 On Tap, pours orange/yellow with lots of head. Tastes sugar sweet with citrius and fruit flavors. Finishes nicely. This beer was more of a Tripel but still done well.

Dec 10, 2009 On tap at Paradiso in dupont circle. Pours a clear yellow/light orange with a one-finger, thick white head (a blonde quad?). Leaves enormous sheets of lacing. Covers the glass entirely like a nitro stout. Aroma is green and red apples, baked cinnamon apples, dried apricots, bananas, esters, candi sugar, yeast. Taste is very sweet but transforms midway into some raw, oatmeal graininess. Earthy. Some sweet cream corn and apple cinnamon oatmeal in there. Yum.

Nov 5, 2009 330ml bottle, Au Trappiste, Paris.
Hazy honey coloured body, big creamy white head.
Spicy aroma; clove, pepper, bitter citrus, backnotes of sugar syrup, apricot and peach.
Thick texture, sticky, slight creaminess combinates with peppery alcohol warmth.
Pepper and bitter orange on the body, unripe stonefruit and apricot and clove on quite a bitter warming finish.
BIG blonde ale, can’t imagine drinking many of these, but, man, it’d be nice!

Oct 14, 2009 Light hazy staw color with a white head. No lacing but a lot of sediment. Aroma is yeasty and fruity. Taste was also yeasty with the malty sweetness on the front and is stop in its tracks by its assertive bitterness at the end without being astringent. Finishes clean. Overall nice brew.

Oct 11, 2009 Bottle, BB Sept 2004. Poured slightly hazy medium orange with short cap of dense off-white head. The aroma picked up candied apricots and other light fruits & bready malts topped by spicy yeast and banana accents.. tart and brighter than expected, but alright. The flavor found tangy medium-skinned fruits and berries along with pale malts and sourdough bread.. white peppery spices and toasted banana around.. finished spicy, warm, and grainy. Medium-plus bodied with a scratchy feel on the palate.. this just didn’t come together well for me.
