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!

Aug 27, 2008 750 ml bottle @ liquid sunshine - thanks to explosivebeer; now, i just love this beer but as it has made it’s way to some Seattle taps recently, it can be a little hit and miss; not sure if it benefits from being in the bottle as opposed to the keg; either way, bright gold with slight haze and tick, white head; big aromas of yeast, lemons, some spice; rich in flavors and texture; just a delightful beer to drink; probably the only drawback is it makes you drool as you can help but think of batch #23

Aug 22, 2008 Tasted on vacation in CA. Nice golden color with white head. Lemon and malt aroma. Light banana baby food taste, with a little grass. Pretty simple, pretty good.
