Hazy yellow with a decent head, somewhat hard to discern aroma but decent fruits and spices. Extremely drinkable with a sweet edge, and a moderate carbonation tingle. I didn’t fall in love with any flavors but found it a very sessionable interpretation of a Belgian.

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

Nov 11, 2009 May 13, 09 bottle date. Banana and clove with some black pepper in the nose. Dark gold color with a short lived head and active carbonation. Good clarity. The taste is banana, apple, toasted grain, ginger and black pepper. Soft mouthfeel. Finishes dry with a lingering bit of hops bitterness and/or alcohol, I can’t discern. Enjoyable enough, but...

Nov 7, 2009 Nose of banana and clove. Soft sweetness and bready malts. Pours light golden with a decent head. The flavor is sweet, lightly spicy with hints of banana and a bready malt base. Easy drinking, rather simple.
