750 ml bottle thanks to Eric, footbalm strikes again! Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white head. A sweet peppery nose with some oxidized aromas and light citrus. The flavor is a smooth and warm brew, some almost sour notes from oxidation, fruity akin to candied oranges, peppery, overall quite lively. Nice.

Clear amber pour with big white head. Fruity aroma. Taste of mild fruits, mostly pineapple, that was quickly masked by the hoppy finish. A little to much hops for this beer style made for a confusing beer.

Clear golden pour with a big pillowy white head. Excellent retention, just stuck around. Aroma was light spicy Belgian yeast, fruity, some pineapple. Flavors were also fruity, can’t tell if it’s a hop presence or a yeastiness. Probably a bit of both. I liked it. Hoppy yeastiness from top to bottom. Little to no bitterness in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel, slightly fizzy, almost no heat anywhere. A nicely done American version of a Belgian style...

Tasted on 5/22/11 from a 750mL capped bottle sent to me in a trade, this bottle is probably around a year old. Pours clear golden with a thick white head that slowly recedes to spotty lace, leaving heavy residue along the inside of the glass. The nose is spicy, vegetal, and herbal hops along with fruity Belgian yeast and some underlying gourd aroma and light bread malt. The flavor is very gourd-like (slightly vegetal, but slightly sweet) along with spicy Belgian yeast, and earthy, herbal hops. The body is full and oily with average carbonation and a long gourd-like and herbal hops finish.

Hopped up Tripel with notes of pineapple and spiciness. A bit on the sweet side for my liking, but not too boozy which is good.

Bottle at Maltzilla’s tasting. Pours clear golden color with off white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast, spices and hops. Tastes like a hopped up Belgian tripel. Medium body with lively carbonation. An interesting take on a classic style.

Bomber from 2009. Nice bright golden pour with a thick head. Zesty bite even a bit sour ( must be from the old vintage). Lots of hoppy goodness.
