Nov 20, 2008 I succumbed and broke one open early... and I’m glad I did. Pours oily clear gold with a minimal white head. Aroma of banana, yeast, clove, and a bucket of hops. Very sweet and resiny taste; the Belgian qualities really compliment the West-Coast IPA hopping. The Simcoe and Amarillo do well, adding the pepper and pine. Taste is closer to the Green Flash Le Freak than the eventual Stone Cali-Belgique. We’ll see how this does in a few years.

Nov 18, 2008 bomber. Unique brew – cloves, wheat, banana, and some earthy hops. Weird mouth feel – warm and coating/lingering on palate but yet a dry finish (seems kind of contradictory). Good, unique and not at all what I expected. This tastes like an imperial wheat beer.

Nov 2, 2008 This poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma is quite spicy with some perfume, citrus mainly lemons, and bananas. The flavor has some hops to it with some citrus and pine showing through. I also get some bananas, cloves, and more spices. This beer seems confused as to what it wants to be. Overall it was interesting but nothing I have much desire to return to though.

Oct 31, 2008 Aroma of alcohol, bread, yeast, and some hops. Pours a pale gold with a small white head. Taste is great - bannanas, cloves, bread, spicy hops, lemon, grass. Although the alcohol is prevalent in the aroma, it is very well-hidden in the flavor profile - actually it’s almost unnoticable. Fantastic combination of citrusy American hops with Belgian malts. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Oct 30, 2008 From a bottle poured an amber/copper color with a small head. Nice sweet flavor which hides the alcohol flavor well.
