Jul 20, 2007 One of the better American Belgian-style ales I’ve tried. Appearance clear orange with a thin off-white head. Aroma of citrus and apricot and a little yeast. Flavor and palate are both a little weak but still pleasant, mirroring the aroma for the most part.

Jul 19, 2007 The bottle poured murky gold with thin white head. The aroma is fruity and yeasty with mild spicey notes. The yeast really comes through in the flavor along with sweet malts and floral hops. Luscious beer.

Jul 10, 2007 North Coast has a hit with this golden ale. To me, it’s the only domestic brew with a true Belgian flavor. You’d think (and they might possibly) the water was imported along with the Hops from Belgium. A great ale with rich hints of apricot and malt. It pours nice but also great from the bottle.

Jul 9, 2007 pours a very clear bronze with absolutely no head. Great aroma, honey, bubblegum, melon or some other fruit I can’t quite put my finger on. Fairly complex. Tastes of wheat some hops balancing off the sweet flavor, some bubblegum. Very complex and satisfying.

Jul 8, 2007 350 mL bottle. Hazy golden yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma of passion fruit and Belgian yeast. Taste a bit more interesting than aroma: initial honey taste followed by passion fruit and an over-ripe fruit taste and ending with a malty and slightly bready dry finish. The fruit notes become more apparent as the beer warms.

Jul 7, 2007 Appearance: Pours a murky golden body with a fizzy white head.
Smell: A sour fruit funkiness with notes of candy and wheat.
Taste: Light, pale malt sweetness with strong, yeasty herb-stuffed dough notes and hints of honey, bubblegum, and pears. Finishes with a prolonged spicy, yeastiness and just a bit of hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slightly sticky palate.
Drinkability: Far too sour and yeasty for my tastes, I think I’ll keep to their Old Rasputin and Old Stock Ale.

Jul 5, 2007 Cloudy with some shiney highlights. White head. Smells fruity, apples and cherries. Tastes like it smells with a medium bodied clean finish. Another good one from NC.

Jul 2, 2007 Moldy mine, apple. Seet aroma. Good beer. I was a bit squirelly at this point, so can’t remember much apart from my illegible notes.
