May 5, 2007 Updated: Jun 19, 2007Bottle: Hazy yellow pour with a dense creamy white head. The aroma is extremely Belgian-like. Yeasty, esters, citrus (lemon), almost a floral like hint. The flavor is bright and clean. Creamy body with almost sweet dough like hints. Also has citrus in the flavor with evident orange peel, a peppery coriander spiciness in the middle and a late smooth bitterness. A nice Belgian Ale.

May 5, 2007 Definitely one of the better strong Belgian goldens I have had. Russian River has their s*** together. I gave appearance a 5 due to a massive pillowy head that lasted pretty much all the way through the first glass, with great lacing. Fruity aroma of pear, bit of mango, packed with banana and light malts. I was expecting a bit more on the flavor after experiencing the aroma. Dominated mostly by Belgian yeast flavors, pear, orange peel, lemon and finishing in bready & earthy malts. A bit of hoppy bitterness at the end too. Medium palate, lots of carbonation. Kind of acidic ending, didnt like that part.

May 3, 2007 Updated: Mar 5, 2009Sweet aroma of pears and spices. Smooth lively palate. Taste of malt, citrus, and something that reminds me of tobacco. Finishes smooth, dry, and slightly bitter with a lasting perfumy spiceness.

May 1, 2007 Pours a cloudy golden orange with a big, fluffy, white head. Smells of orange citrus, coriander, slight acidity, and other spices. Alot going on flavor-wise. Alot more cinnamon than I expected. Very spicy. Big coriander flavor as well, with that small hint of sourness in true Russian River fashion. Really easy drinking with nice flavor. I like this brew.

Apr 22, 2007 Bottle poured a clear yellow/gold color with a bright white head and great lacing. Aroma was yeast with some banana and sweet caramel. The flavor was clean with a dry finish and some lingering spices. A little more age might drop out some of the alcohol notes, but still a great Belgian.

Apr 20, 2007 Hellfire and Damnation!! Ye hast surely Sinned, making such a fine brew! What debaucherous lacing! What lecherous carbonation! And the flavor, my beloved congregation, is pure SIN! Thou hast tempted us greatly, wicked evildoer of well-balanced beer that, surprisingly, goes really well with Spicy Chicken Stirfry. I am powerless against you...

Apr 10, 2007 22 oz bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Hillcrest. The smell, and taste remind me of yeasty doughy uncooked bread. Im not a fan of this style yet. One of my favorite breweries, but this style just isnt for my palate.
