Mar 14, 2009 Like a Belgian Ale should be. Draught at City Beer Store. Lots of flavor - banana in there - and excellent aroma. Well done.

Mar 8, 2009 On tap at City Beer in SF. Good stuff - it’s sort of a cross between a Belgian ale and a California common. Aroma is sweet malt, spice, and Belgian yeast. Flavor is caramel malt, yeast, citrus notes, and mild hops. Smooth, medium palate.

Feb 21, 2009 Coppery hue with a fading head and minimal lace. The aroma is very much not want I was expecting, spicy, fruity and yeasty. Wanted a hoppy and acidic APA/IPA beer but instead got a Belgium Ale. The taste is actually pretty nice with the spicy character working with a biscuity malt background and a hint of twang towards the chalky and flowery finish. The mouth feel works well with the flavor, slightly aggressive and refreshing. After a less than stellar first impression this beer came back to show me something good... just dont expect a west coast hoppy ale.

Jan 31, 2009 A slightly hazed orange/bronze with just a thin halo of white. Yeasty nose of belgian origin with hints of clove and orange. Watery mouthfeel with a light sheet of belgian yeast flavors..lightly spicy flavors around. A little spritzy. Not too bad.

Oct 20, 2008 Surprising beer. Pours clear copper with a big white head. Spicy hop and malt nose; akin to a Sierra Nevada. The taste is very smooth. Sweet malt and crisp hops, nice balance of citrus and resin, with a very distinctive finish. Sour, funky, bretty, and delicious. Its like a Flemish take on an APA. Neither overrun the other, but instead bring out the best in both.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs; poured a rich amber color with a huge, frothy white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, spice, vanilla and a hint of fruitiness. Pretty straightforward and not overly tasty of a beer. Some caramel, yeast, earthy/herbal elements with a slightly tart flavor. Just ok.
