Oct 11, 2008 Hazy amber beer with a very thick pillowy white head. Lots of soft Belgian malt aroma. Fruity nose with a light spiciness on the back. Lots of cherry/raspberry fruit with a soft coriander/peppery spiciness as well. It actually seems more fruity and less spicy than the regular amber. A lightly wheaty tartness on the back as well. Nice fruity Belgian ale. Quite enjoyable.

Jan 28, 2009 Tap at BXL. Very yeasty nose, loaded with banana chips and bubblegum and sweet corn. Slightly buttery flavor, very spicy and yeasty, with light carbonation. Easy drinking. A little sweet for me, and not expressive enough.

Jul 6, 2009 Tap at BXL Cafe East: Poura a hazy deep orange with a dense white head. Nice bright & dry aroma with notes of coriander and grains of paradise- as well as some peppery phenolics. Light fluffy body- some sweet Belgian pale malt character in the flavor with mild fruity esters. A touch of bubblegum and somewhat minerally. Simple, but sessionable.

Dec 6, 2007 On tap at BXL. Looked for this one for a while and finally found it on the site. Pours out hazy light orange color with a moderate fluffy off white head. Aroma is slightly sour with some caramel and slight yeast. Taste is refreshing, citrus zest, yeast, caramel, light fruit and a dry/sour/tart finish.

May 14, 2007 on tap at BXL Belgian Cafe, NYC. creamy tannish white head. hazy bright amber color, gold at edges. aroma is a little tart, sweet toffee malt, fruity like dried orange peel and dried apricot. flavor is caramel malt, banana, and apricot, some of the pit too. lively carbonation, dry malty flavor comes quick. dryness gets more powerful at the finish, spice is very faint.

May 23, 2009 Draft, at BXL Belgian Cafe, 5/22/09. Pours clear amber with a bit of a reddish hue, capped by a huge tan head. Yeast dominates the aroma, along with notes of spice, caramel, banana, and pepper. Flavor is also heavy on the yeast, with citrus, earth, overripe fruit, white pepper, banana, caramel and spice adding complexity. Banana and spice linger on the palate. Medium bodied, with fairly high carbonation. This was very refreshing, a perfect beer for a hot NYC day.
