Jan 24, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Wow! This is one of those beers that redefines a style for me! The pour yields a cloudy, golden-tangerine body with a large, frothy, pure white head that resembles whipped egg whites. Well retained foam yields thick, patchy, intertwined lacing. The aroma is fantastic. Light buttery toffee malts lay the groundwork for fresh oranges, lemon chiffon, caramelized plantains, roasted pears, and a light saison style farmhouse funk. What a blend! If I had to draw up the perfect Belgian golden ale aroma, this would be it! The flavor follows suit well, but isn’t quite as impressive. The toffee morphs into more of a lightly toasted caramel component, with banana, clove, saison funk, coriander and orange peel adding layer upon complimentary layer of depth. The perfect carbonation and medium body leads into a medium-long, dry, and slightly bitter finish. Awesome brew. This is the gold standard for Belgian golden ales for me!

Jan 22, 2008 Tap: Clear gold with a fluffy, white head. Yeasty aroma with lots of malts. Interesting - a Belgian with a zing to it. I liked it better than most Belgian style ales.

Jan 17, 2008 A very white head about two finger widths tall. Reducing down to a slight film. Good lacing, smell mostly of banana and pear with a small hops element that is very unique. The taste is slightly citrus but mainly astringent and esthery also a little of bananas and pears again. Very good and enjoyable.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottle from Coit Liquors in San Francisco. A glowing golden pout with a whiter-than-white rocky head. Banana and cloves in the aroma...am I describing a hefeweizen here? Sweet bubblegum flavour with honey and cinnamon. Good level of carbonation and a great body round off a solid brew.

Dec 30, 2007 aroma was somewhat estery. Definite notes of pear and honey. poured a gold that is a couple shades darker than american lager, with a big initial head, but it quickly died into a film. flavor was quite nice, estery with some pear, bit of honey, and bit of spice in the backround. The beer is pretty dry as it hits the back of the mouth, and leaves you with a slight leather taste, The mouthfeel is perfect, caressing the tongue with lots and lots of tiny bubbles. good stuff
