Commercial Description:
Enchanting and enlightening, this golden, frothy ale boasts an intriguing herbal aroma, warming alcohol esters on the tongue and light, but firm body to finish. Exotic spices add subtle notes to both the aroma and flavor. Strong, sensual and satisfying.

I split this bottle with a friend and I was glad. The monkey is deceptively strong as you cannot taste the alcohol. The color is a cloudy golden yellow with a white head. The smell is yeasty and spicy. The taste was fruity, yeasty, spicy and delicious. I would have drank the whole bottle but I am glad I didn’t given the high ABV. This is a solid beer from Victory and if you like the style, give it a shot. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-18-2007 15:46:11

Pours a cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is clove, banana Belgian yeast, some spice. Flavor is similar. Yeast cloves. Palate is thick and a little hot. Chewy beer. Not bad.

Bottled. Slight hazy golden color, short head. Aroma is spicy, bit herbal, some hop, bit malt, citrus. Spicy taste, like a belgian triple. Most american-based belgian ales are overhopped, but this one is like a belgian one. But that doesnt mean it stands out above the rest, it is just average.

Bottle, chalice. Yeasty spicy aroma, not too strong. Poor head retention, golden, slightly cloudy. Very yeasty, opens up to a moderate spiciness. Quite bitter. Mouthfeel akin to Weihenstephaner Hefe, not a compliment. It’s boring and flat. Overall, okay.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Adrian. Had it on a camping trip in the Catskills but didn’t finish the entire bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow colour with a medium sized creamy off white head. Aroma of spices, and cloves. Watery flavour of spices and cloves.

Bottle at the Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a nice golden-orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is sweet malts and citrus. Notes of corriander, sweet orange peels, and fruity yeast stand out. On the palate, it has a huge level of carbonation. The flavor brings out the corriander as well as the sweet yeast. It finishes rather dry and sweet. Not a bad beer.

Poured a slightly hazy golden color with a light orange hue. Decent white head. Citrusy aroma, mainly oranges, and a good bit of yeast. Flavor is a little bit spicier, with lots of carbonation. Alcohol was well hidden now that I read it comes in at 9.5%.

Bottle. A golden coloured pour with a decent white head on top. Sweet fruity, herbal aroma. Quite sweet, pineapple, banana, spice, honey, boozy. Quite a nice Belgian Triple clone but I prefer Victorys US style beers.
