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.

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.

Dec 9, 2007 Aroma of a paper bag with some red grapes. Poures a little fizzy, with a rapidly dissipating head. Flavor is of peach and apricot - spice is like cumin. Finish is bone dry. An easy drinker, and a good complement to the solid lineup at this great spot just outside Times Square.

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.
