Aug 25, 2008 750mL bottle courtesy of kmweaver. Thanks Ken! Dark hazed gold, monster off white head. Lemon meringue and powdered pears aromas ride soft undercurrents of spiced bread and hay. Juiced lemony fruit and spiced yeast balance well on a soft honey caramel backbone. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A nice rendition coming from PA...

Apr 4, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Crispy apple-crust and cracker aroma, heavy with a spritz of lemon zest and some air freshener. The yeast may be coming on a little heavy. Clear, tall-white-headed golden pour. Flavor is okay, but washes out and gets a little tannic and biting. This is served overly warm. I want more chewy malt and more juicy yeast character, but it gets a little minerally and metallic too soon. Lots of pilsener malt character, but not enough balance. Alcohol gets a touch bristly. Otherwise, this is a fine golden, but it might behave better at 60% the gravity. Needs softness.

May 24, 2009 On tap at Capone’s. My first Bullfrog, and it’s a treat! Lovely pour, like cider but with a frothy carbonation. The nose is sweet and yeasty, like a Belgian blonde with some candied malts. Body is pretty hefty, and dangerously drinkable. Tropical fruits come in as you get further into the brew, with some straw and yeast in the dry-ish finish. Very nice.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange/amber with a big fizzy off-white head. Aroma was fruity with citrus, yeast, light caramel, and some spicyness. Flavor is similar to aroma with a light to medium body and is heavily carbonated with a funky tartness.

Jun 27, 2009 Updated: Jun 29, 2009Had a small sample of this one from JW77 at the CCB BA Bolita release party. Pours a hazy straw yellow to light golden color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of ripe fresh fruit, yeast, some light candy sugar, light caramel, some hints of spice. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of candy sugar, light banana and floral hops, honey, light caramel, and hints of bread. Generally medium body with a pleasing floral finish.

Mar 16, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a hazy gold with white head. Aroma is tart, some barnyard, nice! Flavor is semi sweet, citrus, funk, malt. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high fizzy carbonation. Over all, good stuff!

Aug 21, 2008 25.4 oz bottle. Pours mostly white foam that slowly collapses leaving a craggy headscape atop a hazed honey brown. Lovely lacy swirls. Nose is yeast and pastry dough with a touch of citrus peel. Smooth yeasty body with zingy carb. Taste an interesting mix of banana and citrus. Light spice; dryish. A wonderful Belgian take but still unique.
