Nov 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to travita. Pours with a white head and a hazy gold body. Aroma of some sweet grain, grassy hops, belgian yeast and banana esters. Taste is belgian candy sugar, belgian yeast, and more fruity esters. Quite sweet overall. Light bubbles, not bad. 737314

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle courtesy of travita. Clouded yellow pour. Smells like grandfather’s hand soap. Wow takes me back. Also some tart scents in the smell. Taste is fairly smooth with a sweet grain fruit.

Sep 14, 2009 22oz bottle, no date. Clear golden with a 1/2 finger white head, fading to a thick ring before long. Belgian yeast up front with some banana, apricot, and (very) faint lemon. There is also some light dusty spice and alcohol. The flavor added some light grassy hops. The flavor was pretty sweet, not quite dried out enough from the hops or alcohol. Minimal bitterness. Full body that is a little heavier due to the lower than average carbonation. Not too bad, but gets lumped in with the other American versions of Belgian styles that are too sweet.

Aug 15, 2009 Growler. Slightly hazy golden with an off-white head. Sweetish fruity aroma with yeast and alcohol showing. Quite full-bodied, very sweet fruitiness, a little yeast and phenols. No bitterness. 110709

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle; poured an amber color with a smallish white head. Aroma was quite good and got better with some warmth; bubblegum, dry wheat, banana, yeast and fruit. Perhaps not the truest version of the style, but it was quite tasty. Alot of alcoholic notes, with yeast, banana and a bit of spice. Some vanilla like notes as well.

Jul 31, 2009 Yellow with a light head. Light, fruity aroma. A bit of bubblegum, but not the depth of flavors as some examples in the style. Growler shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.
