Oct 10, 2004 Clear, metallic yellow-orange body with mild carbonation and a loose sudsy white head that faded fairly quickly. Citrusy, bubble gum esters and some clove-like phenols in the aroma and flavor. Light peppery taste as well. Medium sweetness with a plasticky, phenolic and light bitter finish. Medium-light body. A couple properties stand out here, mostly yeast byproducts, and little else offers much balance. Comes across as a Belgian Ale that lacks depth.

Oct 10, 2004 Bottle #10: Pours a clear bright golden with a thick, forthy, and well lacing clean white head. Has a crisp lightly bready Belgian yeasty aroma with a touch of citrus spice and dry pepper. Body starts semi-sweet, quickly turning more dry and spiced with a decent Belgian malt and yeasty presence. Finishes with a touch of candy sugar, earthy hops and a mild peppery spice. A decent, crisp, and drinkable beer, but could use some more complexity and a touch more sweetness.

Sep 22, 2004 Great Belgian style summer Ale, brisk fruity aroma couples with a nicely spiced, not too heavy, drinkable Ale. Crisp and refreshing, orange yellow in color, great off white head and thick lacing.

Sep 18, 2004 Poured a vibrant golden color with a medium sized white head and nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet, light citrus, yeast, certainly a funky 7.7% Belgian ale. Taste was dry, light citrus and finished spritzy. Taste was a little duller than expected, this is alright.

Sep 14, 2004 Assertively Belgian, the yeast is the first and foremost flavor here. Light and crisp with a smooth wash of yeast, but as the beer warms the finish is a bit compromised. The high alchohol gives the bubblegummy yeast a sort of burnt potpouree flavor which is not alltogether bad - perhaps a bit like pipe tobacco. Honestly, I think the yeast is just a touch too overpowering. Some more malt is needed for better balance, but overall not a bad beer.

Sep 8, 2004 Nicely pale with lots of Belgian style esters in the aroma. Only improved as it warmed, but was nicely balanced. This was a very nice beer and at $3.50/22oz, I may have to go back and get some more, however it is not a mind blower. Definitely a surprise given their reputation for IPAs and BWs.
