Bottle, but different label than one shown, says "Belgian" on the shirt and "Belgian style golden ale" on bottom. aroma of bubblegum, straw, mlat vinegar. Slight haze on gold w/ green tinge, creamy head that holds on. fizz and a little oddness in the mouth. Has that bordering on malt liquor tone but handled cleanly with some hops that kind of balance but also kind of clash. A defintie warming with a dry finish.

Aug 26, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Dark sparkling golden orange, thin white creamy head. Soft apple and spiced pear nose rides a faint swirl of yeast. Soft tropical fruit and apple flavors round with a sweet earth hop finish. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Decent, but not my thing...

Aug 21, 2008 Updated: Aug 22, 2008Pretty average for the style. Dark golden color, small white head that disappears almost instantly with no lacing. Nice yeasty aroma. Flavor is sweet followed by tart apple. Light, fizzy body. So-so.

Aug 17, 2008 Smells citrus and yeasty. Taste is orange but not overly fruity. Mellow malt with a complimenting hop finish. This is a great beer.
