BBF 07. I thought i had this years ago at gingerman, but I guess I never rated it. Pours a mostly clear with a slight protein chill haze which clears as it warmed. Nice fluffy tight pure whtie hea and good lace. Aroma is doughy fresh pils malt, light cracker and some cereal, with a nice lemony citrus hint formt he yeast- more belgian yeast with some coriander and lemongrass hints. More doughy yeas tand pils malts, with a refreshing hoppy earthy zing, light citrus, lots of yeasty phenols clove and some vanilla. Finsihes clean aand refreshing. Great belgain ale. Has some chouffe and westmalle yeast characteristics which was a nice mix.

UPDATED: JUL 28, 2007 Tap at the Gate. Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Light spicy yeast nose with a touc of sulfur and apple/pear fruitiness over a crisp pilsner malt base. Very light bodied and crackery with a hint of acidity. Some light white grapes are suggested as well. Earthy bitterness on the back of the palate. Lingering fruit throughout. Quite a refreshing supper beer. Crisp and tasty with a fairly expressive yeast.

Draught at the Gate. Light gold and slightly hazy with a faint JuicyFruit gum/banana yeast and lemony aroma. Refreshing lightly sweet flavor with bubblegum, citrus and white grape notes. Crisp finish. Similar I thought to a Saison, but more lemony and white-grapey than orangey and spicy, if that makes sense. Overall, a very nice summer offering. I really craved a second pint.

Boliv (1045) - New York, USA - SEP 21, 2007
On draught. Poured golden/amber with a small white head. Nose is overloaded with spices, cloves, and slight banana creeping through. Flavor is full of spices and some citrus, yet extremely drinkable and light, pint after pint. Very well done.

Draft at Coles in Buffalo. Coppery body with a small white head. Spicy flavour, with sweet malt underpinnings, and light alcohol presence. (7+)Aroma is similar, with the characteristics a bit more muted. Average to medium palate. (3+) Solid Belgian style brew. Alcohol comes out a bit more in the finish, with light toasty malt notes.
