Oct 1, 2007 Bottle. Hazy amber to light orange color with a quickly dissolving head. Bready, almost doughy/pasty aroma with some banana yeast and mild citrus and spice. Flavor of sweet biscuity malts with fruity notes and a sharp pepper/spice kick in the back. Fine carbonation at first flattens out kind of quickly. Fair if OK Penna tripel. Certainly nothing along the lines of its neighbor, Golden Monkey.

Sep 29, 2007 Pours a hazy gold with small white head. Aroma of cloves, banana, yeast and citrus. Flavor was crisp with malts, spices and yeast up front and a bit of hops in the finish. Champagne- like in body and carbonation. Very good Belgian style for an American brewer.

Sep 26, 2007 Pours a yeasty dark gold with a small white head. Smells of big citrus fruit, some banana, and some spicy clove. Some definite spicy clove and banana flavors really show up. Some orange citrus, and other cinnamon spice pretty much round out the flavors. Nice unique flavor, I think its interesting for a normally uninteresting style. I think its a bit underrated in m opinion.

Sep 21, 2007 Phenolic aroma of lower quality grains, some peaches. Golden color, floating sediments, no head. Prominent alcohol, apple and clove notes. Takes on a plastic taste during warming. Brief appearance of bubble gum at mid palate. Lemon grass finish. My initial impression was that this was a mediocre beer, but now I think it is just plain bad. With apologies to Mr. Horse, "No sir, I didn’t like it"

Sep 15, 2007 Pours a clouded amber gold with minimal head. Nose is heavy with perfume and a citrus edge and also a gummy tone. Flavor is tangy with citrus, but is subdued enough that it isn’t overpowering. Feel is gummy and bordering on syrupy from ingredients. Very drinkable. A smooth and well made brew. Anyone in the U.S. who can brew a Belgian style and pull it off is definitely worth giving respect to and trying.

Sep 15, 2007 Clear, light golden hue. Small, creamy white head. Somewhat lasting with very little lacing. The nose is malty and yeasty with notes of fuzzy fruit, banana, peach and grapefruit. A whisper of English toffee. The alcohol is well-hidden in the nose. The flavor consists of sweet Belgian malt up front with bursts of caramel, toffee and fuzzy fruits. Nicely balanced. Lightly bitter and lightly acetic on the backside with a hefty dose of warming alcohol and grapefruit. Full-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation.
