This is a beautiful golden slightly hazy ale with a white creamy head. Head dies down quickly but leaves a nice layer of foam with subtle retention. Aroma is really hoppy that was unexpected by me. Very fruity with hints of cinnamon and peaches in sugar. Very smooth on the palate and slightly syrupy. Flavor is really nice but a tad sweet. I like the sweet though, and the fruitiness seems to be hanging on to a nice malty bottom. This was one of those surprises that you find in beers sometimes. Not what I expected but quite a pleasure none the less.

Bottle: Amber color with some nice ruby highlights. Has a small white head that quickly fades to a ring. Aroma: honey, lemon, hops, lemon, nutmeg, apricot, peach, red clover, sweet malts. Taste: Light citrus & spices to begin with, sugary, clover, grapefruit, candy, yeast, and a bit of grass and orange. Medium bodied. Tasty, though does die out in the finish.

Clear golden body with a minimal white head. The aroma is sweet honey and yeast. The flavor is quite fruity and complex. The lingering aftertaste is that of honey dipped peaches. Full body with a lively carbonation. Pretty good stuff.

Pretty good. This was my first tasting of a Belgian Style beer. It went down easily and gave me a nice buzz. The taste was good, but a bit too sweet for me. It had a champagne like quality which I don’t really want in a beer. Good quality beer though.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2006 From MIBRomeo. Appearance: caramel color. White, thin head. Very opaque. Aroma: spicy, grainy, raw sweetness. The aroma is way too strong and not that good. Flavor: RAW, barley, grain. Very strong. I simply don’t like this at all. Palate: too over the top. Overall: WTF were they thinking? I don’t like this one at all. 6, 3, 3, 2, 8 = 2.2
Re-rate per JCap. The appearance is a glowing golden body with a thin bright white head. The aroma is peaches, green raisins, and grains and almost comes off as being a heavily Maris Otter brew. The flavor is red apples, green raisins, peaches, and grains, (flaked barley?). The palate is creamy and medium bodied.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2008 peach color with small white head. yeast, sugary fruit, candy aroma. yeast, grain, spices in flavor. nice warmth going down. a hint of cinnamon in the finish. i think this one is made quite nicely-2/8/06---re-rate--clear golden with a nice soft light fruit aroma. the flavor is very peachy or apricot with some yeast. light bodied and very drinkable. still an excellent beer.

Golden pour with large-bubbled, white head. Strong aroma of cinnamon with sweet fruits, including apple, with clove alongside. The flavor is similar tothe aroma, but stronger. Baked apple pie with cinnamon sprinkled on top comes to mind. But ther e are flavors of other spices, including nutmeg, and a background of European, grassy hops. The body is medium with a bit of a syrupy texture — just enough to help extend the spicy finish.

Head dissipates quickly. Very hoppy taste. Golden honey color. Honey ,hoppy caramel taste that has a bitter tail.
