jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jul 17, 2007 on tap @HopfestNC-pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt, medium fruit. Taste is some sweetness/caramel, medium malt, medium fruit, clove/pepper, yeast. Good effervescence. Occasional. Finishes with too much spice. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 21, 2007 Growler courtesy of kp sampled on 1/4/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Sweet, toasty bready Belgian caramel malty aroma has a nice yeasty presence and good authenticity. Starts sweet and fairly full with a mild peppery yeasty balance. A well brewed Belgian dubbel. shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jan 23, 2007 Light amber color with white head. Aroma is of sweet malts and dried fruit. Flavor is of dried fruits, kind of a dry yeasty finish. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Jan 20, 2007 Growler. Poured a lightly hazed copper color with a thin off-white head. Fruity and phenolic aroma with notes of peaches and apples. Very fruity. The flavor was fruity, estery and yeasty. Lighter side of a medium body. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA May 11, 2006 12-ounce bottle. Amber to near brown. Off-white head dissipates pretty much right away. Great mouthfeel--has some of the bubbly rawness of an American ale, but not so much that it completely deviates from what you’d expect out of a Belgian. There’s mild fruity tartness on the tongue, but mostly a balanced sweetness--bananas and caramel are right on the nose. The finish is light. This is one of the more refreshing Belgian-style glassfuls I’ve had in a while. tronraner (1905), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Jan 9, 2006 (entered from notes a few months old) Pours honey-copper with off-white head. The aroma is peaches and cloves with some malt. The flavor is citrus, semi-sweet malt, banana, peach, and some caramel. Not bad.
