tap at Canal St. location - Pours clear gold with a yeasty, lightly fruity aroma. The flavor is sweet with the presence of Belgian yeast very obvious though the fruity character is light. Decent.

From the tap it poured straw yellow with a thin head. There was a nice dosage of yeast and spices and a lesser dosage of citrus in the aroma. The body was light and pleasant. The taste came off a bit on the tart side with a very dry finish.

Golden orange pour. Nose of spice and berries (more of the latter). Fairly fresh with a lot of sweetness. Overly sweet and chewy without any real spiciness coming through. Meh
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a hazy golden color with minimal head. The aroma consists of banana, clove, and alcohol. The flavor is slightly sweet with a hint of both bitter and sourness.

Approximately 4 oz pour as part of a 4 beer taster. Pour is mostly clear slightly dark golden with a nicely formed white head. Aroma is banana cloves up front, followed by some straw and earthiness. Taste starts with garlic clove, some mildly sweet fruit and then a pretty unclean dirtiness. This did improve a bit as it warmed. Palate is medium bodied, fairly flat and a dirty residual finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear gold color with a white head. Smelled of clove and subdued banana. Light bodied and delicately sweet with a hint of warming alcohol. As with the aroma, clove trumped banana in the flavor. There was also a bit of cereal grain. Not bad.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled this on tap at the Fenway location. Pours a clear, straw yellow with a big, frothy white head. Aroma has tropical fruits, some bubble gum and slight spice. Flavor has more bubble gum, more tropical fruits, some booze and a little grass. Finish is hot from the alcohol and very fizzy. A little weird and maybe a touch over done on the alcohol.
