Orange/rust color with a cloudy appearance. Initial large white sticky head that settled to the sides of the glass with what looked like a dollup of cream in the center. Aromas of orange and caramel. Thick, creamy mouthfeel with flavors of toffee, coriander and clementine. Love the crockery.

this beer has an extremely appetizing aroma from its hops which bring to mind some sort of spice berry that i can’t recall the name of.excellent color which was golden. the beer was lacking in clarity but this did not diminish from the overall experience of the flavor which was has a subtle fruitiness with lots of grain.

cereal, herbs, basement aromas, banana, vanilla, orange, minimal head, frothy, brown foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, creamy, full body, astringent,

I found this brew to have a citrus, fruity aroma.It has a smooth and sweet flavor to it.A bit of an aftertaste was also noted.

Bottle. Hazy dark golden colour with a large white head. Aroma of fruit, some yeast, malt and spices. Flavours are sweet, fruity, citrusy, lots of honey, spices with a dry finish . Medium bodied and carbonation. This beer works rather well; excellent.

Pours a hazy copper with a lasting white head. Smells of sweet malt, fruity, gassy. Tastes of light spice, honey, grassy. Enjoyable.

It pours a clear, deep gold with a thick, sudsy off-white head. Maybe I poured too fast - there’s a lot of head. (Note: I poured a second glass - 0.3 l rastal stemware - very gently, and got the same amount of head). I detect a mellow, sweet, malty - a little bit bready - aroma. I wait as the thick head slowly receds. I want to get another try at the aroma before I start drinking it. OK, second whiff after a couple minutes. Smells exactly the same as it did the first time. Now sip. Mmmm. A delightful sweet malt taste. There’s minimal hop presence leaving it sweet, but definately not cloying. There’s also a faint licorice or anise going on in there too. I get more sweetness sticking around with the aftertaste. Its candi sugar - like rock candy. I like the body of the beer, it isn’t as thick as the sweetness suggests, but still has more ooomph than a thin beer would. The carbonation is pleasant, but nothing stands out. The head sticks around for the duration, leaving a nice Belgian lace clinging to the sides of the glass

This brew pours a pale yellow color w/ a slight haze. Froth is full w/ good head retention reducing to a full canopy of lace. Aroma is milky w/ tropicals scents. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. This is one of those fizzy style goldens ales that fluff up big time in the mouth. It’s actually quite nice. This is a well balanced brew right out of the bull pin. Well integrated hops transform the malty backbone into a creamy velvet nectar. Flavor dynamics are moderate, dominated by the usual suspects including citrus, banana, and a mild spice component.You get all the Belgian white fruit w/ a persistant peachpit bittering. This brew is very thirst quenching. The finish is bittered perfectly. Damn, I could drink a gallon of this stuff. I really dig the texture to flavor ratio. I highly recommend this brew to the connoisseur.

If it weren’t $10 a bottle it might be a session ale. It’s notably soft with a very thorough melding of yeast, malt and bitter. Some initial dishrag and brett aromas. Very nice presentation. Tart, citric, and some spice on the tongue belies it’s strength. Some lemony flavors with a hint of banana are balanced softly by a uric acid, tart and bitterness. Very interesting.

New "Monsters" design.....Pours a clear light gold with large foamy white head. Aroma is filled with light fruity esters, yeasty, with a nice light malty profile. Flavor doesn’t stray far with an added light touch of sweetness, notes of white pepper, little grass, nice hop profile with a balanced bitter in the end. Mouth feel is light-medium body with fizzy carbonation. Overall, I really enjoyed this.
