Dec 6, 2007 Bottle. Not what I was expecting at all. Though I didn’t read any ratings, I was thinking this would be a bready, clean belgian. Not the case! Quite hoppy, bitter, belgian yeast is noticeable but doesn’t really play a central roll in the beer. I think I’d more quickly call this an APA than a BA. So it goes. I’m not really that crazy about the whole hoppy belgian thing... some of them are great, but belgian styles are so clearly defined and so delicious, when a brewer just decides to amp it up in a typically American way with more hops it often bores me.

Dec 4, 2007 Bottle from dirty_martini. Thanks Larry. Pours an extremely cloudy golden orange with a thick white head that lasts making for some nice lacing. Nose is bready, yeasty, and slightly hoppy--right on target for a nice belgian ale. Very smooth flavor that mimics the aroma with a nice spicey hop finish. Easy drinking, alcohol hardly noticed. A nice, and highly sessionable, belgian ale.

Dec 3, 2007 Beer pours attractive golden color with a big, egg white head that is totally retained. Aroma is fairly muted, with some rich baked bread and a light hop aroma and pepper. Flavor is likewise subtly with a nice light hop bitterness and lots of spiciness in the finish. A bit of dough and earth as well. Beer is wonderfully constructed in the sense that the carbonation is perfect and the texture of the beer is wonderful.

Dec 2, 2007 Cloudy orange, big white head. Very sweet, fruity aroma, like a bit of jam on toast, plus some caramel notes. Surprisingly quaffable. Mildly dryish at first then some fruity flavors, and toast, plus some peppery notes at the finish. Really tasty.

Nov 27, 2007 750ml, with thanks to dirty_martini for this great bonus! Pours a slightly golden straw color with a nice bright white fluffy cap, good lacing. Aroma is very subtle, but glimpses of dough, grass, citrus and a hint of yeastiness. Flavor is also gentle, with some of the aromas coming along, and a slight lingering orange zest on the finish. Light and refreshing!

Nov 22, 2007 Very herbal and earthy nose with a bit of grass and corn silk. Soft, lite and dry palate with a very grassy mid-palate. Dry and somewhat astringent finish.

Nov 21, 2007 Big hoppy belgian brew. Pours slightly hazy gold with a tall white head. Sort of doughy and honey malt flavor with a grassy hop finish. Crisp and light on the palate letting some of the earthy esters stand out. Like a belgian pils, nice beer.
