Jan 16, 2009 Brilliant clear golden, rocky and sudsy head with excellent lace. Spicy aromas of bananas and citrus of dry straw. A bit of candy sweetness and full malt behind the tangy hops. The back of the tongue tingles with the finish.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a smoggy sunshine color with a small foamy head. Flavor is initially a bit chewy and yeasty, but quickly forms a bouquet of fresh hops with lots of citrus zest. Finish is complex and lingering with hints of spice. Medium bodied, a bit chewy. Nicely done.

Jan 16, 2009 Pours a hazy (just slightly) lemon yellow with white head. Aroma an herbal citrus with banana and honey. Flavor is piney hops with banana undertones. Sounds like an odd combination but it’s good. The subtle sweetness lingers after each sip. Body is medium with equal carbonation.

Jan 15, 2009 Updated: Jan 19, 2009Pours a clear light gold with a small diminishing white head. Lots of yeasty esters on the nose, some cherry, grass, banana, and orange as well. Taste is citrus, grass, slightly phenolic and tart. Medium bitterness fades quickly in the finish. It’s decent but I would take an American or English style any day to a Belgian styled IPA.

Jan 15, 2009 I am really beggining to likethe idea of belgian style ipas. The execution beer in particular however was good but seems like it is missing something and could have been a bit better . The pour wasw clear orange, with a sweet aroma and spicy hoppy scent. The flavor has that belgian fruity sweetness and funk, but also has the piney and somewhat grapefruit esc flavor of an ipa.

Jan 15, 2009 A slightly thin but well balanced Golden Strong, grainy background with notes of banana, pear, and bright citrus from the three varieties of American citrus-hops (Antheum, Amarillio and Summit I’m told). This is a quite quaffable beer, despite its high ABV at almost 9%. Spicy, hoppy and fruity, a sweet beer with a bitter finish.
