May 26, 2008 Hazy amber. Fruity, with a touch of footiness. Fizzy carbonation. Some figgy, fruity notes and light caramel. A bit too yeasty for my liking, but I’ll be giving this a re-rate down the road.

Jun 3, 2008 Objectively speaking:
An extremely yeasty, highly original Belgian-inspired amber ale.
I like:
Quite aromatic, fully estery. Very original flavours. Exclusive house character (a bit limey/gingery like a funky 7-up, unclean and musty).
I dislike:
Rather dull finish where dead bready yeast cuts short the flavour development that was captivating up to now. Quite sweeter than their Saison with its caramelly leanings that please me less since their yeast seems so suited to refreshment.

Sep 29, 2007 Pours a hazy copper orange with a thin-lacing ring of white head. Aroma of sweet doughy yeast and Belgian malt with a touch of ginger. Starts fairly full and malty sweet with a nice yeasty complexity and some mild spice for balance. A nice and fairly authentic Belgian strong ale.
