Pleasant aroma of pasionfruit, delicate hops, and sweet malt. Appears a clear ambe color with a small creamy head that mostly dissipates. Flavor is grainy, with some caramel notes, and a not insignificant hoppy bitterness. Palate is medium-light and somewhat slick with good effervescence. Overall, a very tasty and pleasant brew, but much more pale ale than belgian. In fact, I don’t get much belgian character at all. Still, I do like the brew.

Aug 19, 2008 A nice ale tasted at the avery brewing company at the 15th Aniversery on draft. Soicy and slightly bitter.

Aug 16, 2008 bottle. Aroma of citrus and cobwebs. Hazy orange amber hue with a small mostly diminishing white head that left little lace. Flavor is spice, Belgian yeast, citrus, and a slightly bitter finish. Palate is light to medium bodied and lively. A decent Belgian but only because it is weak. More of the same crappy Belgian yeast funk.

Aug 15, 2008 Great tasting beer. Does not remind me of a Belgian. Reminds me of an APA. It is a good idea to drink this beer. It is satisfying.

Aug 15, 2008 The bottle poured bright golden-amber with fluffy orange hued head. Settles into pretty good suds. The aroma is sweet, with apricot, maybe, and somewhat soft earthy florals. The flavor is biscuity with some juicy citrus and a mild bitter bite. The belgian style comes through, although the finish is a bit dry. I like it, but I wouldn’t choose it for a belgian.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a mostly clear dark gold. Pleasant aroma of fruit and some yeast. The flavor is again fruit along with a bit of yeast and some sugary sweetenss. An ok beer, but probably not something I would come back to.
