Bottle. Hazy, light golden yellow color. Thick 4" foam. Soapy, with extremely slow dissipation. Yeaty, bread-like, grainy to the nose. Lemony with faint orange peel notes in taste. Flat style with a dry, warm flavoring. Somewhat watery.

Pours clear gold-amber with a big fluffy white head. Smells like Bazooka bubble gum and bananas with a little pine resin. Huge carbonation, light in the mouth with pepper, banana, clove...zesty as heck! Definately one of the most uniqe smelling and tasting beers I’ve had. Absolutely delicious and one of my new "must-have-it-in-the-house-at-all times" beers! I forsee a trip to John’s Grocery in my very near future...

Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a huge fluffy white head.... still lasting... everlasting gobstopper :) Nose of slight honeyed malt, grassy, floral and just a little breadiness Flavor: Incredibly light (no not) complex, variegated.. soft sweet, nicely restrained hop, lots of soft fruits with just a little banana and some spiciness... there is slight tang which clears the palate Overall: WOW! A great beer, it is easy to impress with big beers but to have small beer do so much is amazing. Everlasting head, light (nope not watery ) body, indescribable (frustrating) tang and perfect hop bite making it so addictive and refreshing.. I wonder why did I share this with my wife (can I sneak a sip from her cup)... A perfect summer (alright spring, pre-super bowl, afternoon) oh! fine just a great a beer to open any beer tasting session..

Not incredible, but extremely memorable. Very different than ANYTHING I have tried, which makes it unique. Honey was present for sure.

Stimulo Bottle. Perfumed peachy nose. Hazy orange with champagne bubbles and a off-white lacing head. Fairly fruity - peaches, citrussy and clovelike notes on top. Bubbly light body, still dangerously drinkable.

it pours a hazy peach-amber color, topped with an inch of creamy white foam. It leaves decent, but not spectacular, lacing throughout the glass. The aroma is quite yeasty and a little malty, with just a whiff of a tartness to it. The flavor is a quick blast of honeymalt sweetness, followed by a much more prominent toasted malt. Other flavors include dry grain, lots of yeast, and some mild spicing (coriander and clove maybe). It finishes dry, with a little bit of a spicy hop bite. This beer is not quite medium bodied, oozing with soft carbonation, and is very smooth and refreshing. I enjoyed drinking it very much.

330 ml bottle. Very pale golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is quite lean and light, very dusty with a light apple aroma, prominent sulphur and a light yeasty spiciness. Flavour of the pilsner malt in here comes through nicely. As the beer warms, more hop spiciness comes forward. A bit of wheatiness as well. Very easy to put back, well-balanced with loads of character. Creamy texture. Much more than the sum of its parts. This really reminds me of a beer I brewed a few years back (recipe is on the RateBeer Homebrew Recipe page).

(33cl bottle) Pours a huge, frothy white head on a clear, golden body. Very little carbonation after the original spurt from the opening of the bottle. Nail polish, perfume and vanilla aroma. Flavour is somewhat milky with lemon, wet grass and coriander overtones. Not particularly my idea of an ideal Belgian Ale. (Bieropholie Private Import).
