This one poured a bright yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was yeasty, some sweet belgian sugar, spices, and some bready notes. Flavor was a bit disappointing compared to the aroma. Flavors mainly of cara malt, candy sugar, and slight spices, but a bit bland

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to brian23456 (BA)!
Hazy hay-gold with a thin white ring for a head. Unexpectedly spicy nose of honey, banana, and wheat. Flavor is quite similar with wheat and sweet gum and honey notes. Not expected, though not entirely thrilled either; the light body doesn’t mesh with the stronger flavors.

Dec 3, 2009 pours a clear yellow with a thick head. The nose is yeast and grain. The taste comes quickly with the yeast and dry grain qualities with a nice lemony tartness just under the surface. The finish is the delicious Belgian yeastiness with a little soapy smoothness following down my throat. I can’t stop saying how much I like this brewery: minor masterpieces seem to flow consistently.

Nov 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle - pale, straw gold with faint haze and quickly fading white head; bananas, mild clove and yeasty character; has a very nice rich and smooth malty character, though flavor is on the mild side; crisp, grassy hops with some lemon, ginger and dried cloves; a simple, solid belgian ale without falling into the over-sweetened trap that most US brewers seem to do lately
