Tap at Blue Palms in June of 2009: Pours a transparent copper amber with a well-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity Belgian malts and some clove spice with a touch of light fruity esters. Body starts with good fullness and sweet doughy malts with some spicy clove and earthy bitterness before a slightly warming toasty bittersweet finish. Very true to style and enjoyable, but could hide its alcohol a little better.

Tap @ Blind Lady. Pours a clear deep golden color with a 2 finger thick tan head. Nose was lightly spicy with a touch of hops and citrus. Brew finish crisp and dry, pretty damn good.

On tap at stone bistro. Light golden amber pour, with white head. Clean fruity flavors.. banana and citrus with some bread and malt notes. Some spice also. It’s alright.

On tap at Stone. If I knew there were only 3 ratings of this I would have taken better notes. Fizzy bright head and light amber in the glass. Taste is light and crisp Belgian. Tart. Very light on the palate. Empty.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Sweet fruit pineapple banana and bread aroma and taste. Very good.

Had this at the 2009 pizza Port Belgian fest. This beer had a slightly sweet flavor, but on the whole, not a lot was going on here.

Tap @ Belgian Fest 2009. Pours orange with a bright white head. Nose is sweet and yeasty, and spiced. Taste is a bit cloying and overall just ok.
