thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 11, 2009 Bottle shared with Steve. Poured a hazy amber with yeast still floating in it. Great belgian rock candy flavor with malty finish. Also tastes like chewing on yeast (in a good way). I enjoyed this one. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA Apr 11, 2009 On tap at Boho. Pours a murky golden amber with a big sticky white head. Aroma is fruity with lots of under ripe banana and peach, some clove spiciness and bread. The flavor has a sharp hop bite which is nice, plenty of spice, and again alot of under ripe fruit. Finishes dry and bitter. Medium bodied with moerate to high carbonation. JoeTheYounger (219), California, USA Apr 11, 2009 Golden color with nice head that sticks to the glass. Very smooth belgian yeast flavor with good balance of hops. A bit of spices present with bread like notes. Great collaboration. Maltajo (103), TARRYTOWN, New York, USA Apr 2, 2009 On tap. Ginger man NYC. Very flavorfull. Amber malty fruity nice! I like this beer! luv2brew (177), Chesterfield, Virginia, USA Mar 27, 2009 Pours a yellow brown with a nice soft white head that very slowly winds down as the beer warms. Definately Belgian style ale, but it does have a lasting bitterness at the end but i also detect a sourness to go along with. Like nothing I have ever had before. The middle is very normal with a cleanliness and sharpness. The end is where it gets a little unusual. Not bad, just unusual SamGamgee (1396), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Mar 27, 2009 22oz bottle, Batch #3. hazy amber-brown with a medium off-white head. Bright fruity aroma of banana, peach, orange, and pear. There is some clove and sweeter dried fruit as well. The flavor is less expressive, but still nice, with sweet dried fruit, toffee, brown sugar, and light spice. Low bitterness with some lingering sweetness in the finish. medium-full bodied with medium carbonation. The aroma was popping right out of the bottle, but the flavor ended just a bit too vague and sweet to be really great. Nice stuff anyway. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 25, 2009 On tap at Naked City. Pours cloudy brown amber with a small foamy white head. Smells like a yeasty, slightly nutty Belgian. Candi sugar and spice, with caramel and a little bit of citrus in the taste. Slightly hoppy, slightly funky finish. Elwood (676), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Mar 22, 2009 Bottle. I am assuming this is the latest batch. Poured a hazy golden brown with a small light tan head. Earth, hay, yeast, banana on the nose. Medium carbonation with a little astringency in the mouthfeel. My first thought goes to the big malt taste then I get hit with a nice tart/sour note. Yeast, tropical fruit, and a hint of spice on the palate. This one is very complex and very good!
