Commercial Description:
Similar to Santa’s Magic but lower in alcohol. Lots of fruity, spicy flavors from the Belgian yeast. Not too hoppy or bitter, a nice refreshing summer beer. There is no such thing as a dumb blonde.

On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. "ReplicAle". Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of yeast, fruity, and lighter spices. Tastes of fruitiness, bananas, and spices. Lacing left on the glass.

<i>Sampler at the pub.</i> Darkish yellow, just a bit hazy, thin white head. Nice Belgian malt smell with a hint to fruit. Taste brings out that malt, about in the Pils range. Also a hint of bubblegum and weizen spiciness. Not too sweet, not too dry, balanced by low hopping levels. A nice beer to start off my fist visit to this place with.

On tap at the Great Lakes Brew Fest. Pours orange gold with a white head. Aroma is yeasty and spicey. Citrus flavors spice, tangy, balanced with a light creaminess. Decent.

On tap at the brewpub: This has a pleasing look, a clear golden body with a sustained creamy head. Nice lacing. The aroma is light and sweet, pale malts with cherries and sweet plums. A bit of warming spiciness is added to the flavor and a mild floral bitterness joins in near the end. A refreshing, sessionable ale.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3241><u>Mickey Finn’s Brewery, Libertyville, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />
