Oct 31, 2007 12 oz. bottle purchased at Lukas in KCMO. Pour is hazy orange, some reddsish with a nice 1 inch off white head. Aroma of honey, citrus (orange) yeasty earthiness and touch of sour. Aroma is very alive. Taste is initially wheaty-malty, the middle gives way to some of the spiciness then a citric sweet finish. Sweetness is not cloying, but it is certainly headed in that direction. Interesting beer.

Oct 30, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a slightly hazy orange color. Head was bubbly, white, and reduced to a thin film in less than a minute. Aroma was of clove, coriander, alcohol, and orange. Sweet on the tongue with orange, yeasty bread dough, alcohol, spice, and orange flavors. I haven’t the faintest idea what paradise seeds smell or taste like, but I’m sure they’re in there. There was a nice warming alcohol effect that you can feel all the way into your belly. The leathery note that I noticed in the Bell’s Left Bank Ale was also present. Very good beer which would be good on a warm summer day, cold winter night, or anytime in between.

Oct 30, 2007 Big thanks to Lowe1983 for this bottle. Creamy orange with a medium size off-white head. Aroma is fairly fruity. Sweet, oranges, spices, coriander, banana, and vanilla cream. Very inviting. Flavor is spices, oranges, pepper, yeast, vanilla, and a little malt. Finishes slightly sweet and peppery with the alcohol finally noticeable. Medium, nicely carbonated body. Superb beer. Awesome.

Oct 29, 2007 Updated: Nov 17, 200712 oz bottle - pours a dull, cloudy honey with a small beige head. Aroma bright coriander and orange up front, with a very "thick" smelling yeast presence. I don;t know what Paradise Seed is, but there is an unidentifiable (to my nose) spice in there, so I guess that’s it. Tastes like a Belgian Wit on steroids. Everything is pumped up - the spices, the yeast, even the hops, which certainly come through in the flavour. Ah, and there’s that 9% - hidden in the aroma, it creeps up in the flavour. Dry, citric/zesty finish. Superb offering from Bell’s.

Oct 27, 2007 Pours cloudy golden orange. Little but lasting white head.Lots of corainder smell in the nose. Slightly spicey/peppery taste with a belgian and orange malt background. Not my favorite style; pepper and beer don’t mix.
