Sep 27, 2008 Pours golden with a white head. Aroma was very inviting with hops, fruit, alcohol, bread, and spice. Taste was even more inviting. First, you are taken in by the delicious taste of fruit and bread backed by delicious hops. Then you get the taste of sugars, slight citrus, and malt. A lingering alcohol warmness finishes it all off. I got more than I expected out of this beer.

Sep 27, 2008 Aroma of chardonnay grapes, white wine-like with candi sugar. Pours blonde with no head. Flavor starts with chardonnay, sweet malts, a little sulphury with hints of pine with hints of spice in the finish. excellent beer!

Sep 26, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with a soapy white head that leaves some lacing. The nose is full of grassy hops, banana/clove, white pepper and some NW hop resin. The flavour is heavily hopped, boozy, and very spicey, with a lot of emphasis on the pepper and some apple/pear notes. The Belgian bubble gum yeast is there, but masked by booze and resin hop zest. The bitterness is a bit medicinal, like baking soda. The palate is sharp and a little hot. I’d like to try this a few years later.

Sep 25, 2008 bottle - Pours golden with a one finger head. It has a yeasty, spicy, hop heavy aroma. The flavor is exactly what it says, a hopped up Belgian golden. Belgian style yeast and pale malt are joined by very ample earthy hops. It definitely puts me in mind of Chouffe Houblon though it’s been a long time since I had that one so it could just be because a heavily hopped Belgian ale is unusual. It’s medium bodied and finishes very dry. While good, I don’t think the hops profile is really my favorite type. Maybe it will meld together a bit better after some aging.

Sep 25, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours almost clear with tiny impurities and an off-white head with some lacing. Intense and spicy yeast aroma. Quite full-bodied, sweetish fruity with distinct yeast notes, lots of diacetyl and very herbal almost medicinal accents. Not really impressing at all. 180908
