Bottle thanks to Cavie. Nice head retention! Mostly stale fruit and floral in the aroma and flavor.

IVE HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS BEER AND THE BOTTLE BEING SIMILAR TO A CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE IS VERY APPEALING . JUST GOT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THOUGHT IDE POUND DOWN THE WHOLE THING TO THE HEAD, AFTER POPPING IT OPEN I RELISED THAT THATS NOT HAPPENING. THIS BEER IS A CLOUDY YELLOW WITH A SOAPY HEAD. ITS FULL OF FLAVOR MOSTLY A MALTY AND SPICY ROOT VEGTABLE, KINDA LIKE A SPICED CARROT, NOT OVERPOWERING LIKE SOME OTHER BEERS IVE HAD THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS ONE (MOST NOTLABLY LA FIN DU MONDE THIS IS LIKE ITS LIGHTER VERSION) NOT MY FAVORITE FLAVOR FOR BEER DONT GET ME WRONG THIS IS GOOD JUST NOT MY STYLE ( IM NOT BIG ON CARROTS). GREAT FOR FOOD PAIRINGS A LITTLE MUCH FOR CHILLING WATCHING THE GAME.

Clouded light orange yellow appearance. Smells of banana and other Belgian notes. Strong yet smooth at the same time. Wow very tasty! Nice Belgian spice with sweet bread and banana. Some hints of citrus with an alcoholic tingle. The finish is the only drawback here.

Poured a hazy golden-amber with a creamy white head. Mild spice aroma. light and smooth moouthfeel. Taste has a light spice note with a bit of breadyness to it. As it warms, a citrusy note appears. Easy to drink and tasty.

From a bottle poured a yellow color with a good amount of head. Spicy malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Bottle split with Pwn3d, Tony, and Patrickfannon. Had this sucker back to back with Local #2. This poured a lighter body - slightly hazy orange with small white head and decent carbonation. The aroma is spice, yeast, and some sweet malt. The flavor is surprisingly well balanced - with notes of candy malt, yeast and spice.

Bottle acquired in a trade with Bigmmartin. Hazy golden pour white creamy head. Aroma is citrus, spice and yeast. Taste is a mix of the smells, with some added spice and touch or wood. I thought the mouth feel was great, although I can see where the carbonation might be a bit much for some. Overall a good beer and once again props to Bigmmartin for the hookup.

In a La Trappe Chalice. Pours hazy blonde with fine one-inch head, aromas fruit hops and yeast. Fine carbonation. Taste nice light backbone of dry hops over fruit profile of pear, apricot, citrus, spice, light caramel, maybe some banana and raisin. Good with Greek chicken kebabs hot off the grill!
