Oct 7, 2009 One of the first really amazing brews from the West Coast I tried. Not over the top blow the mind, but a great six pack style Belgian. Candy like to a certain extent. Yum for what it is!!

Oct 5, 2009 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2009) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with tropical fruit, pineapple and citrus. Fruity, slightly malty taste with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus and a sweet, spicy finish. Slightly above medium body, on the sweet side. Tasty and refreshing, not overly complex but a nice beer.

Sep 29, 2009 Clouded banana yellow pour. Light Belgian fruit scent. May be too cold at the moment. Taste has a sweet fruity element to it. Flavor remains through the finish. Aftertaste is slightly bitter but for the most part is decent. Turns more bitter as it warms. Also more alcohol and bitter fruit notes come out on the nose.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. Golden pour with smallish white head. Sweet Belgian aroma. Tastes vaguely Belgian, honey, sweet, bready. Not complex enough.

Sep 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a darker amber hiding in it, little to no head. Aroma is a bit bready and sweet malts. Notes of citrus, english hops, sweet orange peels, and maybe corriander. On the palate, it is a little dry, but still refreshing. The flavor brings out the malts and also has a bit of cedar quality to it. It finishes kinda tangy and a little dry. Overall, very good. I enjoyed it compared to the last one I drank (New Glarus R & D Golden). Very sessionable.

Sep 5, 2009 Pours yellow/gold white medium white head. This stuff has the sweet blend that I don’t like, but alas I must try as my wife digs this style. Rating is hers.

Sep 2, 2009 Very clear, bright yellow look with a foamy, pillowy head. No carbonation. It looks thin and see-through for its style. There is a smattering of lace.
The smell is of a spicy Belgian ale nature. Some bitterish hops. It’s a golden Belgian ale mixed with a bitter pilsner. Some nice spicy citrus comes out with some agitation. Practically bubbles in the nose.
Flavor continues the sweet Belgian tradition, again with some bittery pilsner hops. Matches the smell to a tee. Has a combination of spicy Belgian, spicy orange, bitter hops and a pungent fizzy flavor.
Feels fizzy and thick. Warm like whiskey on the way down. It’s a sipper because of its thick, creamy fizzyness. Has a decent bitter/spicy combination. It’s really not my thing, but good enough.
