 BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Dec 7, 2008 Sampled at Big Pour Mesa, AZ. Cotton candy aroma, reminds me of day at the County Fair. 24 karat pour with very small white head. Dont really taste the Belgian influence, more similar to a barley wine. Bubblegum, candied sugar, honey. Not overly thick but sticks to the palate. Flavorful.

Dec 7, 2008 Yellow and slightly cloudy. Sweet at first but bitterness soon appears.Medium head and left some lacing.Very good example of this style
which is not one of my favourites.If it was then this would have scored even higher.

Dec 4, 2008 Bottle. Hazy gold with a small white head. Aromas are soft oranges and yeast with bubblegum and banana. Light, yet fresh. Flavours are spiced oranges with yeast and cream. Fruity rather than malty with bitter orange rind. The alcohol is not overbearing. Dry on the aftertaste. Good.

Nov 29, 2008 Reviewed 11/21/2008 (bottle):
Pours a clear golden color body with a big frothy white head, good lacing & lasting Flowery malty banana aroma. Light fruit and sweet spices. Not overpowering. Spicy banana taste. Light malts, watery palate, but carbonated. Some what warming. Nice Belgian-y taste. Super carbonated as it warms, harsh.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle at Volo, Toronto, November 2008. This looks cloudy yellow, gold with a reasonably long lasting head in two tall Brooklyn label goblets. There is nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is yeasty, a bit spicy with some pear and citrus. The flavour is full of lime, with some other citrus fruits, apple, and subtle hops in the finish. Nicely complex in flavour. I like the mouthfeel too, with plenty of carbonation on the tongue. A shame this doesn’t see much distribution in Ontario, and none outside of a couple of private restaurants, pubs.

Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Nov 27, 2008 Sample from 750ml bottle at Draft Magazine’s Big Pour in Mesa. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Nose is very sweet with some spice. Taste s bubblegum, light spice, cotton candy. Medium mouth feel. A little too sweet for my taste, but a well put together beer.
Pershing (146), Garland, Texas, USA
Nov 26, 2008 Golden orange with a thin white head. sweet on the palate - typical of Belgian brews - hence the use of raw sugar during the fermentation process. Clean spicy aroma with a lingering finish on the palate. My first sample of this brewery and certainly not the last.
