Hazy, gold colored ale. Nose is lightly spicey, peppery and lightly fruity. Body is med/light with a tingly carbonation, lightly oily on the palate. Lightly sweet malts with more spice notes, lightly grassy and bready with some faint citrus flavors. Lightly sweet malt finish with the aforementioned spiceyness. An easy drinkin Belgian Strong.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2008 This was golden in color and poured a fluffy white head. The aromas were of lemon rind, flowers, wheat, yeast, herbs and banana. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and very well-balanced. While the nose is rather complex, the flavors in the mourth are fairly simple. The midpalate has nice richness giving way to a dry and bitter finish (almost tannic).

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Aroma: Sweet malt and fruit (pear?) on the nose
Appearance: Cloudy for the style. dark golden color (not straw), a little dark for the style?
Flavor: Great malt flavor, with a fruity middle (pear?) and a nice hop bitterness in the finish.
Palate: A little undercarbonated, but still bright. Great dry finish!
Overall: Very tasty easy to drink beer. The alcohol (8.5%) is very well hidden. The hops used are a little too long lasting in the finish and not my favorite. AmEricanbrew (1929), orange, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Murky amber with a fleeting 1" head. Big spicy sweet saison type aroma. Smooth medium body. Flavor is mildly sweet pale malt then drying salty spices to finish. Another LA house brew, very similar to some their other Belgian style brews, which is not a bad thing...
