Dec 3, 2009 Draft at Blind Tiger, NYC. Deep yellow to gold body. Frothy white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of apple, orange, pear, honey with a hint of barnyard. Some notes of grain and spice. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. It finishes moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Thin to medium body with moderate carbonation and a watery texture. Sierra Nevada’s marketing says, "This is a very limited draft production offering as we do not consider ourselves a Belgian Style Brewery." After having this beer, I can’t disagree. Way too sweet, not near dry enough, lacking aromas and flavors of spice, particularly clove.

Dec 3, 2009 Growler filled at Bellport Cold Beer and Soda and consumed later the same day. Pours a crystal clear brilliant gold with a thin white head that disappeared after two sips and left scant lace. Pleasant aroma of Belgian yeast, lemon, and some mild spice. The flavor is very nice with fruity Belgian yeast, candi sugar, lemon and again some mild spice. Sweet, but not excessive. Mild bitterness at the finish. Enjoyable.

Nov 26, 2009 On tap at PP Carlsbad I believe. Poured an amber color; darker than expected. Aroma of sweet banana, yeast, wheat, fruit and spice. Flavor was very siilar; spice, banana, bubblegum, fruit, grapefruit and sugar. Unique grape like elements. Interesting beer. Quite tasty.

Nov 23, 2009 Slightly hazy light gold, good head. On tap at Taco Mac Metropolis in Atlanta. Aroma and flavors matched - honey accented malts with a bit of a cracker note, faintly floral hops showing through on the finish, but very faint. Belgian yeast spice notes. Enjoyable, a very good take on a style that American brewers tend to turn into sugar bombs.
