May 29, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a small foamy off-white head that quickly fades into a thin layer. Some light lacing around the glass. Aromas of orange, wheat, and some sweet banana. Flavors are clove, lightly bitter orange, and yeast. This is a medium to full-bodied beer. It has a nice crisp mouthfeel. Good dose of carbonation. You can taste a hint of alcohol at the finish. Overall, this is a good effort from North Coast.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet orange, wheat, corriander.
Appearance: Cloudy/murky golden orange with a small, light beige-colored head that leaves some nice lacing.

Palate: Medium body; moderate level of carbonation.
Overall: Surprisingly good and very quaffable. A long overlooked/passed up beer...

May 27, 2007 12 oz bottle poured into a goblet. Attractive orange hued body with rapidly diminishing head. Strong banana, pear and apricot aromas on first impression. Flavor is a bit sweet but balanced somewhat by alcohol. Fruity yet clean. A great beer, but not as good as Duvel.

May 27, 2007 12 oz bottle. Wow this is a great American interpitation of the Belgian style. Where I found most of my other ratings excelled in appearance and palate that is where this one let me down. Poured a hazy golden/orange with a tiny head? What isn’t this supposed to be a Belgian style? The aroma then stepped it up with floral, citrus, yeast, coriander, and spice notes. The palate let me down and was to full and not as light and crisp as it should have been. Flavor steps it up though and has lots of yeast, spice, coriander and orangey citrus coming through. One fantastic beer even though I only rated it a 4.

May 26, 2007 This reminded me more of a wheat beer than a Belgian. A beer that I may one day revisit.

May 25, 2007 Big head goes south fast leaving half laced glass (3xfast)
Lots of yeast and fruity esters, plenty of banana, some candy sugar and alcohol, same smell, same taste.
Aggressive carbonation in the mouthfeel.
Tastes like a strong, fizzy hefe-weizen.

May 15, 2007 Bottle. Orange/gold color, very thin white head. Wow, great aroma, some banana-cloves, wheat and bubblegum. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of a hefe yeast profile with some more spice and a little sour. Finish is a little sour, gets you in the back of the throat and somewhat dry. Very interesting.
