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

From growler, courtesy of IrsichBoy @ RBSG2009. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Fruity and slight yeasty to spiced aroma. Bitter and spiced flavoured into a dry phenolic finish.

Dark golden with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, honey, some toast, spices, and alcohol. Taste of honey, candy sugar, toffee malts, some bready malt, and light alcohol in the finish.

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

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.

Draft at the brewpub! Nose of cloves, nutmeg, bananas, wheaty grain, and yeast. Murky yellow with a medium yellow tinged head with lightly laces the glass. Flavor of whet, bananas, spiciness, and very light bitterness. Finishes with a slight tinge of alcohol warmth. Can’t wait for the barrel aged version!

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.
