750 mL bottle. Fairly mild smells in the aroma, yeast, straw grass, minor alcohol, and a almost cotton candy like sweetness. Huge wispy bubbly starch white head, good retention and lacing, cloudy, good amount of particulate, golden yellow color. Smooth start with a sweet honey Belgian type malt presence along with very grassy hop that sticks the whole way through, in the middle to the end there is some grain alcohol mixed with an interesting olive and spice flavor that continues into the aftertaste. Really pretty good, but there’s just something about it that keeps me from really getting into it.

Nov 30, 2008 This beer pours a clear dark orange-gold color with a thick and foamy bone white head that recedes slowly. Thick rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of Bready malt, yeast and spices in the nose. Medium-bodied with flavors of grainy malt, honey and spices. Esters and pepper are present at times. The finish is spiced and malty with a banana and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle thanks to Eugene. Deep golden orange hazy pour with generous slightly yellow off-white head. Sweet ripe fruits... citrus, peaches, bananas, some pear perhaps. Nice dry yeast flavor. Full palate. Very enjoyable beer.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle: Light golden pour with floating sediment. Sweet malt and fruit/yeast aroma. More sweet malt flavor with a medium pepper and yeast flavor. Smooth brew but could use a hair less pepper and a bit more yeast and citrus.

Nov 26, 2008 Golden in color, tons of suspended yeast particles, with a massive, frothy egg-white head that is slowly diminishing, leaving behind clingy lacing. Aroma of banana, black pepper, cloves, musty basement and a bit of alcohol. Walnutty banana flavor, alcohol is fairly prevalent. Dry, alcoholic finish. Very nicely carbonated.
