Aug 20, 2008 Bottle. I think this beer is extremely underrated. Clear copperish golden pour with a beatiful pillowy white head and gorgeous lacing. Aroma came through with some unexpected floral hops, caramel malt, yeast, and banana notes. Flavor was overall sweet but slightly set off by a little bitterness. Palate is silky smooth, mild carbonation, and very drinkable. It blows my mind that this receives a 3.33 and a 72 percentile overall. It deserves better especially when comparing it to Unibroue La Fin Du Monde.

Aug 19, 2008 Sampled from bottle: Beer pours a clear amber colour with a fairly large off white head. Aroma is sweet, carmel, toffee, bannana and oranges. Mouthfeel is full, well carbonated. Taste is a tad on the sweet side, takes no time in hiding the evident alcohol taste.

Aug 13, 2008 Golden, deep at the center, creamy white head. Rich malty, fruit and belgian yeast with some grassy hop character. Creamy full palate.

Aug 11, 2008 Small sample from the bottle. Consumed during the New Holland beer and chocolate pairing at Great Taste of the Midwest on 8-9-2008. Pours a bright, clear gold with a small amount of near-white head. Aroma features salt, apple, white grape juice, and spice (especially cinnamon and coriander) scents. Nice, spicy flavor contains the elements of the aroma plus ginger. Medium body. Soft. Easy to drink. Quite good.

Aug 11, 2008 Cloudy amber pour. Aroma of sweet malt and some light hops. Taste is fruity, malty, molasses. I don’t find much of the hop bitterness.
