3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
29.04.06 Tap at TAPNY. Another winner from this up and coming brewery. Lightly hazed yellow golden. Pineapple and yeasty aromas are bolstered by a good dose of grassy hops at the front of the sip and refreshing maltiness. Lovely pale session Belgian remenicsent of Lunacy, but better.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2006 I wasn’t a big fan of ths beer from the start. Waitress was ignorant to the style of this beer and there was no infomation on the tap. But it didn’t strike me as a belgian at all. Light in color and flavor

growler pours a lightly hazy, tan-tinted gold, with a very nice white head that retains well and leaves good lace. nicely balanced nose contains clean, crackery malt aromas with a complex fruit notes of banana and light pear. a floral hopping wafts over-top. flavor starts with a sweet, clean maltiness that becomes round and fruity as you drink. finish is spicy with notes of black pepper and hop pungency. easy-to-drink beer is pleasantly not a phenol-bomb, as often this style is.

Hand bottle: Courtesy of Eyedrinkale via trade. Aroma is somewhat wit-like. Yeast, coriander, citrus, banana, and orange peel are all present. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a small soapy white head. Orange/orange peel and banana up front. Moderate yeastiness and lemon in the middle with a peppery and grassy hop finish. I can see the tripel comparisons. Flavors intensify as it warms.
