May 4, 2008 Tasted at the April Northern California Beer Tasting. This Belgian Strong Ale poured a medium brown color. Small sized head. The aroma was fruity, sweet, a touch tart and a little funky. It has the wheat wine graininess, yet there is definitely some funk going on here. It could of been a train wreak, but the blend works. I wonder how this one will age? Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Sep 21, 2008 Bomber from AlohaC at Toncatcher’s Tasting. This is a funky cool fun blend I like it. Pours orange with a half finger tan head. Nose is sweet with a lot of wheat wine qualities. Taste is sweet and tart, with wheat wine tones and a wide range of flavor.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle shared by AlohaC at toncatacher’s tasting. I still haven’t found a Valley Brew beer I haven’t liked. Some tart and some sweet. HInts of cherry, but more malty flavors I think. Pretty darn tasty though

Apr 29, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to pantanap for sharing this rare one. Pours a hazed orange soapy beige head. Hoppy caramel nose. Tropical fruit with a touch of mint. Sweet flavors. Toffee, wheat, caramel malts, slighlty sour fruit. A little too much of the wheat wine in this blend, it would be nice for more of the fruit and funkiness to come out.

May 31, 2009 Courtesy aspidites. Clear amber. Small white head. Plenty of sweetness left considering the age. Subdued cherry and oak, a light twang of wheat, some candy like malt sweetness, a bit yeasty, bit of funk and dryness on the end. Full body, balanced carbonation. Very nice brew.
