Aug 17, 2009 Pours hazy golden, thin white head with a small amount of retention and some lacing. Aromas of honey, sweet tree fruit, and spices, though perhaps slightly medicinal but not overly; flavor of honey with some cloves. Pleasant light mouthfeel, light carbo. Very nice indeed.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a thin to medium white head. Spicy lemongrass, and almost curry, with big coriander notes. On the thinner side of medium, spicy and a little minty almost. Very spicy on the gums. Finishes with some nice wheat notes, and a light hint of ginger. :

Aug 4, 2009 bottle: pint glass: Wow. A very unexpected, suprising Belgian White. Pours a very light caramel color, clear, leaving a thin white head. The nose is citrus, yeasts, no clove or banana. The taste is also citrus, balanced with some nice bitters. I tasted PICKLES!!! Some strange sour/sweet mix, but it was very enjoyable. Medium to high carbonation, very well balanced, very drinkable.

Aug 1, 2009 33cl bottle at a Vietnamese restaurant in Los Gatos. Having this beer with some spicy pho really highlighted its strength; its bangin’ with food. Hazy light yellow with a thick white head. Spicy ginger and lemon aroma. The flavor has dry and refreshing wheat with a tangy and acidic lemon bite, all domineered by spices and ginger. Light and effervescent. Quite spicy, with ginger dominating the spectrum. A very unique and awesome take on the style. Lots going on while remaining ridiculously drinkable.

Jul 31, 2009 Bottle: A very loose interpretation of a Belgian White; some different flavors, rice? ginger? not sure. Food Pairing: Sushi.

Jul 31, 2009 Shared a bottle with friends at Sunswick tonight. This beer was quite different from other Belgian whites I’ve had. Appearance akin to other wits. Flavor had heavy notes of ginger and licorice. An interesting interpretation of the Belgian tradition. Definitely worth a try.

Jul 30, 2009 Pours cloudy gold with stormy bubbles and a frothy white head. A good, slightly pungent aroma; very distinctive. The flavor is well-balanced; a hint of acid dryness and hops, but a good malt sweetness and warm, citrusy spices predominate. I didn’t know this style had caught on so well in Japan.
