BeerandBlues2 (2504), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle (Batch 8204) at 33 Wine Shop and Tasting Bar, St. Louis. Pours cloudy and sparkling dark yellow with an average, frothy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, hay, straw, meal), average hops (flowers), average yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of clove, apple, pear, butterscotch, and
honey. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter
finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
WeeHeavySD (1839), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 25, 2008 12oz bottle bonus from JCB. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and nice and yeasty. Taste is yeasty and slightly bitter, nice brew. cbeers21 (408), Miami, Florida, USA Sep 21, 2008 Hazy golden without much head. Cereal clovey touches are first noticed, and there are fruity malt touches which are not particularly organized. Clovey yeasty taste which doesnt feel authentic for some reason, but whatever. Nice sparkling character to the brew, which gives a decent quenchability, and a spicy lingering aftertaste. danielcurtis81 (97), San Diego, California, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Light golden color with flowing effervescence. Thick Belgian mouth-feel. Fairly crisp floral/grass flavor. Not necessarily my thing. donrajin (233), Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, USA Sep 15, 2008 Excellent beer. This is a great beer for a night cap on a cold winter night. Strong Belgian ale with a nice warming finish. Plenty of fruit flavors. awiseman01 (45), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Sep 15, 2008 Very fruity, and a slight hint of champagne. Very spicy in taste with sweet fruit and slight carbonation. Not bad at all.
