Bottle - 3 pack. Shared this with beergestapo in the Devonshire. Poured a slight hazy amber gold with a white head. Some aroma of white grapes similar to a wine. Pallet was smooth with a bit of sweetness, malts and very much a Belgian in character. Although 13% it was relatively mild and drinkable. Liked this, not just a clever label but a good Strong Ale as well.

Oct 11, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a clear gold with a medium whitish head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Flavor is very rich, very sweet, cloying, with a bit of alcohol burn.

Oct 8, 2008 Had this before but never quite got around to rating it, so thanks to Craig (if it was you?) for including this in my Cropredy Box, consumed 08-10-08 Pours mid- dark amber with white head. Sweet malt and alcohol linger on the nose. Alcohol whilst always evident isn’t as fierce as I expected, its a bit wayward at times but there is a fair degree of bananyness going on as well, its really quite sweet and the malt is also a bit much, still I expected much worse so all in all it wasn’t so bad.

Oct 2, 2008 Burnt orange, thick soapy head.
Aroma is sweet fruityness, not quite deep enough for a belgian, kind of peachy, with some citrus.
Taste is like those Peach Os. Really, not much else. Beginning and end are just sweet.
A bit thin, not much texture.
Alcohol is well-hidden by the over-sweetness.

Sep 25, 2008 bottle from 2006 I Believe . Clear dark amber pour. Sweet malts on the nose, however the flavor is dominated by the strong alcohol presence

Sep 21, 2008 Pours clear amber with white head. Sweet fruity aroma mixed with alcohol that was quite noticeable. Similar flavors.Lots of sweetness and lots of alcohol. Medium body with average carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. The alcohol is just too much.
