Apr 15, 2009 Lovely aroma, pours uneven golden, small head. Sweet initially, then rich, belgian-ale complexity. Fades to a somewhat disappointing finish - bitter, but not a hoppy bite, just...bitter.
Hides its strength extremely well.

Apr 12, 2009 On tap at Jake’s Bar and Bistro Steilacoom. This beer flows through the taps at Jake’s a bit and thank god! This one is such a quenching rendition of a true Belgian Golden with corriander that it makes me happy every time I have one... compare with La Chouffe but almost half the price!!

Apr 10, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 4/10/09
Aroma: Bananas, sugar, other fruits, slight spice
Appearance: Clear yellow/gold, full white head dissipates quickly, bubbly
Flavor: Nice strong malty/fruity sweetness, a really nice amount of spice - much more then the nose
Palate: Relatively light body, highly carbonated, pretty good mouthfeel, long lasting
Overall Impression:
I like the way this one works, it starts with a fruity (banana) nose, and moves on to a complex flavor filled with that fruity sweetness and tons of spice. It really mixes well, and drinks easily. A really nice beer.

Apr 9, 2009 Aroma: The aroma is fruity and I can smell the bananas.
Appearance: Pours deep yellow with an off white head. The head dissipates quickly. The clarity is good, despite the yeast that is suspended in the glass.
Flavor: The initial taste is lightly spicy and dominated by the fruitiness.
Mouth feel: It has a medium-light body that is creamy. The carbonation in minimum hence the effervescent must be from the alcohol.
Overall Impression: I enjoyed this beer very much. The fruitiness and the lightness in body make this an easy beer to drink. The 9.5% ABV adds the danger, I can see limiting myself to 1 or 2 when out, or just staying home and drinking a few more than 2.

Apr 7, 2009 Bottle: The first time I had this, I hated it. It was way too malty and overpowering. But luckily I didn’t rate beer back then so I got another opportunity to rate this one, now that my palate is more well defined. This one poured a cloudy bright yellow with a nice head. The aroma was banana’s and spice. The flavor was pepper, clove, malt, banana, apple, sugar and a nice smooth finish. Overall, a tasty high rated belgium.

Apr 6, 2009 An incredibly complex beer, packed with spices - makes the aroma interesting and the flavor outstanding. Take a good long sip to drink this to really appreciate the intricate details. A very fine beer.
