May 25, 2008 Bright gold pour with wonderful white thick head. Nose of yeast, fruit and some grain. Flavor is sweet of yeast, spice, and fruit. Nice carbination that scrubs off your palate of what ever you had before.

May 22, 2008 2005 vintage tasted on 5/17/08 thanks to derkruk and crew! I’ve also tasted this brew fresh. Mellowing out a bit on the hops and gathering a nicely rounded out malt flavor is what 2.5 - 3 years will do to this Belgian style pale. Fully carbonated still, and sliding smoothly across the palate, the flavors of dry fruit and hops, spices and malts continue to explode with joy as they go down the gullet. It’s worth the wait!

May 20, 2008 Updated: May 26, 2008750ml bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy light gold with no head. Definitely a yeasty and malty belgian nose. Medium bodied mouthful with a decent amount of carbonation. Very drinkable, and very tasty.Fruity and spicey and very delicious. The kind of beer that I would like to drink more frequently. Was a nice compliment to the slightly spicy pasta dish I had it with. It has an almost creamy feel to it with a spicy and peppery finish.

May 19, 2008 Got this from South Bay, what a sweet store. Pours a straw gold with some orange hues. The head is a finger or two thick, creamy, and white. The nose is typically Belgian, a tad sweet, dry, musty and earthy, light citrus, lemongrass, also some pepper in there (GOP?). The flavor is sharp and spicy, alcohol is a little evident, very dry flavor, earthy Belgian tones. Mouthfeel is very dry and spicy, man it feels like there is GOP in here. Finishes dry and waxy with some alcohol. Nice Belgian, just a bit overwhelmingly spicy.

May 11, 2008 Batch 29: This poured golden in color with a thick white head of medium-sized bubbles. The nose shows off yeast and spice along with lemon, clementine oranges, plum/currant and bubblegum. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and concentrated with lots of carbonation that keeps it fresh. The finish is dry with a bitter edge from the hops. This is drinking very young and fresh and should drink well for many years to come.

May 5, 2008 Probably the thing I was most surprised with about Russian River was their attempts at Belgian ales. This one was almost perfect. Bubblegummy and syrupy sweet with a perfectly balanced blend of carbonation, yeast, and malt backbone.
