Jun 14, 2007 Had on tap at Toronado. This was a damn good beer. Poured a hazy pale golden color. Smelled sweet citrus. Taste was lemon and banana. This was very smooth and the alcohol was incredibly well hidden.

Jun 14, 2007 Gold, big puffy white head. Nose is zesty lemon, spice, mineral presence, sherbet, vanilla, grape skin. Flavor is sweet caramel for a second then mineral, then yeast. Clove, lemon, not much banana, milky vanilla, stunning creamy body.

Jun 14, 2007 Cloudy, fire-yellow pour. Pineapple, butterscotch, musty carpet aroma. Hint of cayenne and vinegar. Tastes mildly sweet to start, reserved like a cinnamon bread pudding. Very yeasty, dusty, with some quiet pear flavor, brown sugar and spices. Somewhat shapeless, but sprightly. Warm in the mouth, earthy and rich. Finishes very dry. Interesting if maybe a bit muted all around. Thanks Larry!

Jun 10, 2007 Appearance: Pours a bright, neon yellow body with a frothy white head. Light lacing.
Smell: Yeasty, fruity aroma of bananas, apples, and citrus.
Taste: Light, doughy maltiness with bananas, lemons, pears and little to no hop bitterness. Dry yeasty finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. High carbonation; this one’s fairly fizzy.
Drinkability: I doubt I’d reach for this again anytime soon, as I had a hard time getting fired up about this beer.

Jun 10, 2007 750ml Bottle: Aroma is sweet. Smells of fruits (apples, pears), yeast, and some coriander. Smells a bit like champagne or sparkling cider. Poured golden in color with a medium-sized white head that lasted throughout. Small lacing. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet though not bitter our sour. Tastes of nutmeg, coriander, pepper, pear, apple, a tiny bit of peach, and yeast. Quite warming. Apples and spices dominate. Very cider-like. Medium body. Interesting, tingly texture. Lively carbonation. Sweet but peppery finish is of medium duration.

Jun 8, 2007 Very nice Belgian blonde, a slightly lighter Duvel. Crisp and lively, and moderately spiced (with a nice almost custard-like feel, along with a trace of bitters). I’ve quaffed many bottles of this, and it’s always a priority if my mail orders. One more feather in RR’s cap.

Jun 7, 2007 750ml bottle. Batch 020. Pours a yellowy golden color, translucent with a moderately large, foamy white head and an assload of bubbles vigorously rising up the glass. A real nice aroma on this one. Smells like a cross between a hefeweizen and a tripel with the best qualities of each. Yeast, clove, banana, vanilla, Belgiany. Taste is quite sweet, medium to light body with a bitter wheat taste. Crisp and smooth, semi-dry and very tasty. This is quite drinkable at 7.75%. Good stuff.

Jun 6, 2007 Poured a golden color with a large, long lasting white head. Tastes of fruit and light candy. Somewhat too sweet. Not my favorite style.
