Apr 18, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Hazy gold color with a big white head. Yeast and pineapple aroma. Lots of yeast again in the aroma, with spice and tart, tropical fruitiness. Full and smooth body. More belgian character than the abbey ale, and pretty nice for the style.

Feb 19, 2008 Draft at brewery, 02/18/08. 9.0% ABV for this batch. Clear, darkish golden pour. Still retained some head and active carbonation ten minutes after it arrived. Slight banana and clove aromas. Very sweet. Some spicy yeast character. Some kind of grape or fig flavor, as well as some bubblegum notes. No trace of alcohol flavor. Nicely done, but not world class.

Sep 8, 2007 Tap at the brewpub
Golden pour; yeast and honey aroma. Flavor is sweet: overripe mango and ricola herbal honey drops. Savory offnutes, diacetyl, ultra buttery. Palate is smooth but oily; basically a failed effort.

May 11, 2006 Pale golden colour with some cloudiness. Aroma is fruity, citrus, honey, pepper and cinnamon. Nice texture and malt support for the abundence of flavours. Slight alcohol on the finish.
