3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at HSBG. Thanks to Scott for bringing this one. Pour is light golden with white lacy head. Aromas of spice, yeast, and some sweet fruit. Flavor is dry and somewhat sweet. Yeast and a nice hop note dominate this one.

Bottle.
"A portion of the proceeds will benefit bat conservation programs.". Off to a good start on this one without even opening the bottle.
Pours like a stereotypical Belgian pale- light golden yellow color with a shitload of soft, fizzy head.
Smells also remain typical- and good. A bit of dank, earthy bitterness melds with a good helping of smooth, dry sugar cookies.
Flavor continues the trend- solid, well done, if lacking in uniqueness, belgian pale. A bit more aggressive hop bite up front, with noticeable and pronounced bitterness on the front end. Body of thin sugary sweetness with some light notes of green apples and black pepper.
Very dry, semi-sweet finish.
Overall very good brew- not especially unique or innovative, but a solid take on a good style.

Poured a cloudy golden color couldn’t keep the head in the glass. Aroma was lots of spices grass yeast. Flavor was much the same very grassy have to agree with eagles view start to smell like an older woman’s floral perfume as it warmed.

Bottle sent to me by Captain Kitty and enjoyed in my Big Arse Karmeliet tulip: Nice golden hue with a fluffy head. "Voices, A Thousand, Thousand Voices... Whispering, The Time Has Passed For Choices... Golden Days Are Passing Over, Yeah"
The aroma has notes of classic Belgian yeast, bready and earthy, classic DUVAL like hop acidity and spicy vapours, and a hint of cracked winter wheat and red rye. "Howling in shadows... Living in a lunar spell... He finds his heaven... Spewing from the mouth of hell"
A wonderful balance of sweet malt and an overdose of noble and hint of PNW hop bitterness and fruity overtones. The Goldings hops really shine forward with a nice hop spice finish as well. " Your life style to me seemed so tragic...With the thrill of it all... You fooled all the people with magic... Yeah, you waited on Satan’s door".
Brilliant lively mouth feel with a drier woody finish, fits with the framework of the flavor profile."There’s no point in screaming
’Cos you won’t be heard... Now the tables have turned... It was the ultimate sin"::: Beer geeks rejoice, this is a "gimmick" beer that actually delivers, A touch more fresh hops and I would be drinking a Duval clone, brilliant!

Draught into the standard logo chalice at the brewpub. Gold with a small white head. Spicy hops and fruity yeast in the aroma. light pale malt sweetness underpins light pear flavors and a fat, spicy and herbal hop character. Finishes dry with a light lingering bitterness. Has the best name in the world. This one definitely rivals Duvel for me in that style.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A golden ale with a thin white head. A wonderful herbal malt and wild grass aroma, with a bit of Brett. In mouth, a good malt base with orange peels, vanilla. Light bodied, yet very quaffable for a strong ale. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 28 2008.

750, corked and baled. Thanks, BeachBum25! Crystal clear dark gold under a towering fluffy white head. Bubblegum nose with bits of caramel and butterscotch. Creamy medium body with lightly woolly carb. Lots of bubblegum, caramel, butterscotch, and a bit of green apple on the mid-palate. Neutral finish. Nice stuff.
