Pours a transparent deep golden with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale Belgian malts and a good amount of bready Belgian yeast and some mild sulfuric notes, Body starts fairly full and sweet with good, authentic Belgian character and some drier earthy bittering hops. A pretty decent Belgian ale.

Jul 2, 2008 Hazy yellow in color with big fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast,belgian canbdy, and light sourness. The taste was the same with various spices dancing around. Firm on the palate with some dryness in the finish.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Light amber body with a small white head. Strong perfumy and Belgian yeast aroma with spices, light flower notes, and fruit. Taste is sweet malts, Belgian yeast, fruits, spices, and candy. Body is medium with a strong, but dense, carbonation. The finish adds some bitterness atop of flowery notes, Belgian yeast, candied fruits, spices (clove), and sweet malts. Nicely done Belgian style beer.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. Hazy, murky glowing golden wheat colored body with a white head. Nose of perfumed wheat and Belgian yeast and huge notes of candy sugar. Flavor is pasty and plain up front, then dry/coarse/pasty over the middle, with an overwhelming amount of perfume wheat and coriander. Too much, very messy and confusing, like drinking potpourri.

Jun 10, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a hazy apricot / peachy color; light off-white head with patchy lacing. Lots of overripe yellow fruits, bananas, and soft cloves in the aroma; very strong overripe fruit presence. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy yeastiness, bananas, solid cloves (slightly more prominent than the aroma suggest): ryan’s Duvel comparison seems right, though this is definitely chewier and less drinkable; reasonably tasty, sweet Belgian beer. Medium finish: toasty malts, solid yeastiness, and some dry cloves.
