May 11, 2007 Been a while since I had this, but I do recall that it wasn’t what I was expecting out of a strong ale... in appearance, at least. The light color leads way to a deceptively strong flavor. It’s like a malt liquor, but a good one. If that makes any sense.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle.
A weird beer. Seriously - looked just like a pale golden beer. (Bud light?) --- but has some bite to it. The flavor wasn’t all that great, some peach, candi sugar, apricot, sort of a belgian yeast type thing goin on...kind of a boring beer. Very easy to drink, prob its best quality.

Mar 30, 2007 Bottle: Pale golden, quite hazy, moderate foamy off-white head, spotty lacing. Nose is somewhat a cross between cereal, musty
hops, and barnish malts. Also seems to be a little diacytl in there. Pale citrusy hop notes up front, slightly buttery, a little
chewy. Decent... but certainly not what I would have thought for a Strong Ale. Its a lighter example. Moderate body and
mouthfeel, seems thicker when it was a bit colder actually. Semi-sweet malt finish, very minor butterscotch, soft citrus notes.
Not bad, decent, but not a lot of character either. Thanks Bill for the bottle!

Mar 20, 2007 22 oz bottle thank to T-Bot, poured into a Trappist glass. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma of Belgian candy sugar and a slight hint of peach. Flavor is more Belgian yeast and candy sugar, a bit of an appley peach taste, and a small taste of piney hops near the finish. A good brew that is not too overally interesting, but very drinkable.

Mar 19, 2007 Bottle sampled on 8/16/06: Pours a clear light golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Sweet, grainy malty aroma has a touch of earthy piny hops. Body starts with a sugary, slightly corny, earthy maltiness toward a drier bittersweet finish. Could use some more complexity, but otherwise drinkable.

Feb 19, 2007 Humm...forgot who I got this from. Anyway it pours out a mostly clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of some sweet malt notes and slight hop. Taste isn’t overly complex. Caramel, slight fruit and honey fade into a bitter citrus hop finish.

Jan 7, 2007 Slightly cloudy golden amber with a half-inch white head. Yeasty aroma, sweet malt and biscuits. Maybe a touch of corn and apricots. Flavor is bitter hops over sweet malt, an almost vinous alcohol presence. Not bad at all.

Nov 21, 2006 Bottle... Barely hazy, light golden ale with a large, fluffy, white head. Terrific retention. The nose is a medley of biscuit, toffee, oak, pepper and maybe a touch of bourbon. Medium sweet flavor is hopped just enough to knock the sweetness back a notch, keeping it pleasant and non-cloying. Full-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Crisp, bittersweet finish. Thanks go out to FlacoAlto for providing the bottle!
