Aroma is light fruits, sweet pale malt, and spices. Flavor is pretty sweet with pale malt, apricot, peach, banana, clove, honey, and a little yeast. Good but nothing special.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly cloudy amber with only wisps of head. Aroma shows bubblegum, a touch of clove, and a great big pile of candy-sugary-malt. Flavor starts with a big burst of rich sugary malt followed by a gentle but firm burst of grassy hops, yeasty goodness and some bubblegum and a hint of honey, Palate is thick and surprisingly tingly considering how flat and dead this beer looks. islay (476), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 16, 2009 10 oz. pour, on tap at the brewpub on 9-13-09. Aroma of candy sugars, peach, and a touch of honey. Clean and slightly dry smell. Subtle aroma. Pours a bright, clear, brass/gold. Effervescent: Bubbling up for a good while. Small amount of light beige / nearly white head. Tastes better than it smells or looks. Dry apricots / apricot skin. Surprisingly dry and grapefruit-hoppy. Long, dry aftertaste. Medium to full body. Lively, fresh, and a little oily in the palate. Tang on the tongue. Not bad, but not memorable. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2008 Growler from Stine. Pours a clear orage/gold color with no head. Spicy aroma of corriander, yeast, banana, and belgian sugar.Nice oliy look to this beer. Taste the same with medium dry finish. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Uninspiring clear orange with a powdery foam of white. Yeast heavy aroma of bubblegum, cloves, bananas, and caramelized pear; stinky hints of alcohol and a warming soup of olive oil and red pepper. Pleasant. Rich, smooth malt flavors with plenty of brown sugar, cookie dough and pastry crust. Yeasts are still dominant with the bubblegum and clove presence remaining bare and obvious. Some honey and spice toward the finish; firm and well balanced palate covers the alcohol presence with ease. Reasonably different and nice for the most part. BDR (2155), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 14, 2008 Nice gold color with ruin whisps of white head. Liight yeasty aroma without spice. Much more complex body with faint caramel and chocolate in tv malty body. Spicy mid palate with a dry yeasty finish that lingers nicely.
