Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 22, 2006 Muddy beige colour. Footy, yeasty aroma. Flavour is toasty, earthy and assertive with hints of late acidity. The yeast sits a bit heavily on the palate and the malts aren’t bright enough but it’s a decent saison. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 10/14/2002

Opaque amber, full fine head, solid lace, sweet spice aroma, lots of banana, rich sweet malt flavor, lots of banana, hint of clove, dries out upon warming picking up some alcoholic hotness, the banana recedes, the clove comes out, and a touch of bitterness appears in the finish

the age thins it out and mutes the sweet fruity character

CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 23, 2006 On tap 1/5/06: Pours a clear pale copper golden with a nicely-lacing white head. Sweet caramel Belgian malty aroma has lots of bready yeast and some light fruit. Body starts with a pleasant malty sweetness turning more dry, floral and nicely spiced toward a yeasty and lingering bitter finish. Nicely balanced, authentic and enjoyable. hopdog (4649), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 22, 2006 1 liter flip top bottle acquired in trade with goldtwins (thanks!). Had a tag on it labeled bottle # 66 / 180, 6-15-05. Opened to a loud pop. Poured a medium orange color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of spices (cloves and light peppers), bananas, yeast, and citrus. Tastes of citrus, lemons, spices, bananas, and some yeast. BückDich (4559), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 3, 2006 RBSG 2006 - DC Grand Tasting Lineup
Golden hazy, nice head and lacing. Nose of bright citrusy hops and light spice, some stank pilsner malt. The flavor is creamy. Nice and tart/bitter. Actually a fine belgian ale for georgia.
