Draft at Bavarian Lodge. My 1,300th American beer rating! Spicy dry hops over a sea of lightly kilned malts. Clean beer color. Thick, warming malt, with a European peppery hop load. Would probably rate much higher if we weren’t in the middle of some of Bavarian Lodge’s fantastic tap beers.

Golden body with a very light white head. A light aroma with some honey and banana. Taste is dominated by Belgian yeast and a light wheat taste. Smooth ending.

Nice can! No, I wasn’t talking to you! Oh well, she just slapped me as I was reading my review out loud. Got it via trade. Golden-yellow color with somewhat high carbonation evident. Aroma of sweet honeyish malt, Belgian yeast, citrus, mild funk, and lots of pepper. Flavor is more of the same, really peppery with grassy hops on the finish. Nice medium-light palate with high carbonation. Good stuff.

Can. Light yellow pour, some carbonation with a peppery and apricot aroma. Flavor is initially apricot, then herbs, and finishes pleasantly bitter with a little hops. Decent.

Thanks Shep. 16 oz. can. A golden big head of tiny bubbles sits on a honey colored beer. Moderate carbonation. Good retention and interesting pattern of dissipation. A yeast dominated aroma also has fruit,spice, and funk. Flavor is almost ripe orange and passion fruit with floral notes. Spices begin to show up as it warms and make a nice offset to the fruit. Some funkiness also shows up late. Just a small amount of yeast is noted. Thin feel.

Thanks to tytoanderso for this. Pours a pale orange with medium white head. Aroma of wheat bread, yeast, and citrus. Flavor is similar with the addition of some underripe fruits and spices. Very thirst quenching and enjoyable.

Can thanks to DalzAle. Aroma has notes of yeast, bread, honey and fruit. Medium gold with a small white head that left no lace. Flavor is sweet and then musty and a little bitter. Palate is light bodied, watery and lively. Typical yeasty Belgian brew. Yuck.

Can from wisconsinbeer...thanks my friend! Pours a orangish color with a small white head. Nice aroma of yeast, stone fruits, malt, bread and spices. Not much funk in this one. But a great flavor. Some lightly bitterness, yeast, fresh bread, lemons, spices and some smooth fruitiness. This is very good and fun to drink.
