May 7, 2005 2003 corked bottle. Off-white frothy head, probably large from some bottle agitation... fades to a thin dusty covering. Hazy orange/amber body. Full belgian fruity aroma with clove sugar cookie. Tastes like yummy belgian orange kool aid with spicy honey. I hate describing beers like this. It is pretty complex and hard to pick it all up. But it is very well balanced, and really tastes like a yummy classic belgian ale.

Apr 3, 2005 Cleveland Local Gathering. Thanks to Mike McCallister for bringing this bottle and eliminating it from my "want" list! Light orange pour with slightly off tan foamy head. Malty aroma that leans a bit to the fruity side, also with some citrus notes and yeast. Malty, smooth profile, with flavors of honey, alcohol, sweet orange peel, estery yeast, and other mystery spices. Finishes a touch acidic and spicy.

Mar 16, 2005 Corked & Caged (Bottled on May 15, 2003): Explosive cork removal resulting in a bubbling overflow from the bottle…quickly pours with a hazy, golden garnet body and a full off-tan, bubbly head. Sweet, honeyed alcohol aroma with yeast esters, and an interesting tanginess. Tingly palate, well developed from the bottle conditioning…toasted grains, along with a fresh sourness add a good flavour to the lively mouth feel. Fruity (apricot) notes, take shape after a while on the tongue and a bit of iron and metallic acidity is noticeable through the finish. A hop resin bitterness rounds out a pretty good Belgian Style Ale…

Mar 14, 2005 Large, rocky, off-white head over a cloudy, amber-orange color. Yeasty aroma, mildly fruity, with a sweetness to it. Spicy, soft fruit (melons), sweet taste with a full bodied mouthfeel. Smooth, creamy, and moderately carbonated, with a spicy finish that was a little peppery. 2003 vintage, purchased at their brewpub.

Mar 1, 2005 Bubbly golden copper. Malty, spicy, candi sugar, spritzy, fruity, herbal - this one’s got it all, put together in a bubbly concoction - maybe just a little too bubbly, I wanted to smack some of that carbonation out of there! Thanks to MikeMcallister for bringing this. (Cleveland Rater Gathering, 2/2005)

Feb 19, 2005 Pours tan honey with gorgeous head. Smells of honey, clove, citrus. Flavor blows my mind: lime, orange, grapefruit, touch of caramel, candi, yeast, cinnamon. Finish sweet, mellow honeyed lavender goodness. Boo-yah!

Feb 14, 2005 May 15, 2003 bottle. Orange in color as well as aroma. Intense flavor, great combination of yeast, nuts, dried fruit. Finishes cidery and sour in the back of the tongue. Very complex and interesting.
