Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA May 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 15, 2008Pours a golden copper orange color with a massive rocky white head. Aroma has hints of honey and tons of flowery hops. A pleasure to drink. Sweet for a fleeting moment before stripping any and all phlegm from your mouth and throat with earthy bitterness. Suddenly, a burst of sweet pineapple juice re-moistens the palate and sends you face first into another sip. Fuck yeah! Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA May 2, 2008 750 ml bottle. Average grainy and frutiy aroma. Cabinated gold body with a creamy white head that stayed on top of body of beer, Flavor was average for a belgiun yeasty grain and some fruit. Alright with a bitter bite and seemed to have an alcohol effect on body. Denent brew. Hank1980 (734), Athens, Georgia, USA May 1, 2008 Bottle at Trappeze. Pours a cloudy orange with a large head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, spice, and hop. Taste is a nice collaboration with plenty of hops mixed nicely into a yeasty belgian brew. Taste of hops, yeast, spice, fruit, funk, and citrus. Mouth is relatively light and smooth. A solid brew. steview (901), Los Angeles, California, USA Apr 30, 2008 great! picked up at the Carlsbad PP shop: i initially gathered an aroma of spice (reminiscent of pumpkin), citrus (lemon--acidic quality), wheat, and almonds; the body is hazy, orange-straw, orange highlight, with a soapy white head that leaves little lace; the flavor hides the alcohol well, and has a more floral, less spicy quality than what the aroma initially provided; smooth and creamy; highly enjoyable though not what i expected for a "Belgian Strong Ale" because this *seemed* lighter, and *seemed* more appropriate for, well, but anyway... it’s great and more SoCal brewers need to collaborate with Europe. mj (4973), Colorado, USA Apr 30, 2008 750ml bottle pours hazy golden yellow with a soft white head, looks and smells delicious, with a green, dried hop leaf and stinky cheese funk in the nose, and a funky feet and BO-like cheesy flavor, along with a wonderful dry grassy green hop flavor and a moderate to heavy bitterness for such a style. Suttree (2702), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Apr 28, 2008 Very foamy - a loose white head sit atop a cloudy orange brew. Smells very fruity and herbal, mixed in with a lot of funky notes. Lots of fruit and white wine notes in the flavor, plus more herbal notes. A really great brew. Sampled at the Raleigh WBF. durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Apr 27, 2008 Updated: Jul 19, 2008A nice and unique brew. Bottle from WBF in Raleigh. Deep golden amber pour. Hops and brett present on nose and in mouth. Fruity funkiness, too, with some scuppernong grape and apple flavors present. Hint of ash/smoke. Fizzy mouthfeel. Yum. Taverner (826), San Ramon, California, USA Apr 26, 2008 This stuff is amazing. Barnyard funk + hoppiness - the sour flavor. Quite possibly the perrfect mix of Belgian and IPA.
