750ml bottle. Batch 42. Hazy, golden apple juice color with champaine like bubbles. I love they haze in the appearance, it make the beer very appitizing to drink. Brilliant white, moderate, mostely diminishing head, which leave some nice lace behind. Complex, classic belgian golden ale aroma. Apples, clove, banana, honey, and ester muskyness. Taste exactly replicates the aroma. Body is wonderfully viscuos and chewy with generous prickly carbonation

Dec 27, 2009 Very well done. Aroma of fruit and spice from a cloudy pale yellow pour with a big fluffy head. Taste is extremely well balanced with the fruit and spice and maybe a hint of roasted malt and a hoppy dry finish. Nice burn down the back of the throat.

Dec 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a large, frothy dense white head. Lacing is moderate. Aromas of bananas, bread, dough, and grass. Mouthfeel is very lively with a long lasting finish, different from most beers in this category. Tastes of bananas and bread throughout, although it has a strange bitter finish. From the aromas and appearance I thought this would be a much better beer. It is average, not great.

Dec 2, 2009 Tried in Portland, OR. Pours golden with a nice off white head. Very fruity with plenty of candy sugar to match, lots of banana. Subdued alcohol aftertaste. Would drink again.

Nov 8, 2009 On tap at Monks. Smells of sweet fruit and mild alcohol. Little head and no lacing. Taste is of sweet fruit such as banana with mild alcohol notes, yeast and something I can’t place. Mouthfeel is medium, not too light and not too syrupy. Only major qualm is that it was over carbonated. The fizz that inevitably appeared after each sip took away from the taste and otherwise excellent mouthfeel. A very tasty beer with a ton of flavor; I would absolutely drink again.

Nov 5, 2009 Draft. Pours cloudy golden, with a thin white head. Aroma of honey, hay, wheat, hops, and grapes. Medium bodied. Tangy, clean mouthfeel with a modest, pleasant finish. Decent Belgian strong.

Oct 29, 2009 On tap at Browers months ago and in bottles all over town. Taste of sparkling grape juice. Good balance, very drinkable, albeit a bit dry.

Oct 28, 2009 Draft at Toronado SD. Pours a cloudy dark golden yellow with half finger of white-ish head. Nose is bright and mildly sweet with yeast, fruity esters (banana, pear, light citrus, flowers), and bready grain. Flavor of citrus (lemon), sweet-ish malts, yeast, light spice, and other good stuff. Starts softly sweet and then a light hoppiness appears partway through and continues into the finish. Nicely balances, lovely and complex. This is very good and very drinkable stuff.
