Mar 12, 2007 22oz bottle, thanks to crosling for hooking this up. aged almost 3 years now. i decided to do what this bottle suggests and pick up some thai to pair it with. i’d probably do what ever Stone tells and especially if Thai food is involved. pours clear golden with white head. nose is sorta musty, lemon grass, mint, banana, lots of sweet lime, and subtle funky yeast in the background. very perfumy nose. flavor has a soft lime, banana, and sorta buttery. finish is pretty sweet too. i’d prefer this more if it was funkier, drier, and more saison like. it did pair well with the thai food but not as well as a good saison would have. in the end, i think this beer realizes to heavily on the lime leaf and didn’t get complexity from the yeast..

Feb 26, 2007 A golden yellow pour with no head, this one had a grainy banana flavor with lots of hops. Not as enjoyable as the 03.

Feb 17, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, off-white head. Aroma of fruit and aroma hops. Fairly full-bodied with some caramel, lightly perfumy hop accents and a bitter, hoppy finish. Decent but far from outstanding. Courtesy of Storm. 120207

Feb 14, 2007 Golden colored pour. Nose is banana, honey, and very perfumy. It works okay though. A little more hoppy than the ’03. Unique take on a belgian. I don’t recall tasting one quite like this before.

Feb 12, 2007 Lightly hopped. Sweet malt balanced by a tripel-like fruitniness. Cloudy orange color. Hops are considerable for the style.

Feb 12, 2007 Not as enjoyable as the 03 by any means. Similiar color, but the nose is very perfumy, like that of a grandmas bathroom. Very sweet flavor, but a little bit watery on the mouthfeel. The beer has a tripel like sweetness that fit it, but the hop balance is not really there. I am overly hard on this beer due to the anticipation of trying it, and although the 03 was better, it still was very nice.
