Jan 24, 2008 Bottle from beerlando and served in my NB worthy glass: Clean deep golden hue with a frothy head and very good lace. The aroma is quite phenolic with banana, starfruit, clove, gingersnap, biscuity and caramel malt, grassy and aromatic hop and a hit of sugar.
The taste starts shockingly sweet and sugary supported by a fruity background. An interesting bitterness appears towards the finish and helped slightly with all that sweetness. Spicy and medicinal notes found upon the aftertaste. The mouth feel is a tad sticky but has good carbonation and alcohol to keep to palate refreshed.
Has anyone actually cellared this beer 2-3 years? Maybe it would help because right now it is too discombobulated and flabby. There is some potential under it all.

Jan 22, 2008 Nose is heavy on the banana. Also hibiscus flower, ripe papaya, and tres leches. Golden honey jewel color. Taste is banana candy with caramel. Mouthfeel is soft, kind. Clean finish and warms up well. All in all not a bad beer, and makes for a nice strong but refreshing sipper.

Jan 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to dirtymartini: Pours a clear orange gold with a quickly dissapating white head. Aroma, fruity esters, banana, yeast, some clove, and floral notes. Flavor, sweet pale malts, floral hops, banana, bubble gum, some spices, most notably cloves, good bit of floral bitterness towards the end. Not bad.

Jan 13, 2008 Fruity pear banana aromas some sweet malt in backing, sweet fruity taste jumps out at you at first ,sweet candy malt followed by the grain flavor and bitterness of the Saaz hops,extremely strange to taste the initial Belgian taste and then get hit with all that hopping. I guess thats how they got the name of this brew. Thanks Kingpin

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle from Homebrew Mystery swap. Gold, white head dissipates quickly. Nose is light caramel & fruits, some breadiness, lemon. Flavor is toffee/caramel, rich malt, a hint of raisin. Honestly I thought this was an ESB and not a Belgian Strong Ale.
