Bottle, 22 oz. Deep golden color with a white head. Spicy and fruity aroma that immediately indicates complexity. Malty flavor. Different but interesting.

Sep 30, 2008 Copper amber color and a thin white cover of head. Strong clovey aroma, nutmeg and other spices. More spicy clove and nutmeg flavors with light fruity bananas and citrus notes and a nice Belgian hoppy finish.

Sep 23, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a creamy, large bubbled head, slightly cloudy , pale orange color....nose almost like a Christmas cookie, cardamom predominates, with a bit of clove, ginger and citrus....tastes of multiple spices, including all the previously mentioned, not much hop addition. Finishing flavors were a bit off. I need to get a couple of more bottles to let it age.

Sep 22, 2008 poured into my duvel tulip. Bright golden pour with a white frothy head. Aroma is so pleasing! Loads of spicy hops, apricot, peach, candi sugar, even some pumpkin spice, and a slight peppery saison like aroma. VERY NICE! The flavour is sweet and very enjoyable, buttery soft, and loaded with spice, and a touch of citrus hops. Wow, this is an amazing beer!!! there is a slight apple finish that mingles with more subtle spices, and pumpkin notes. Wow, the year of age on this bottle did it a world of good, outstanding!

Sep 18, 2008 Tap from Tyler’s. Surprised to hear this called a mix of a Saison and a Golden Triple. The latter influence seemed clear but the former was a little less so. Bright golden pour with just a bit of haziness. Some yeast and Belgian sugar that I would expect from a tripel, and I guess the saison influence came from a bit of spice and orange peel. Was served a bit too cold so it took awhile for the subtle flavors to come out. Solid, but not amazing.
