This was one of my first craft beers way back in the day, I remember buying this because I thought the bottle looked cool and the 9% was awesome but I haven’t had it in a very, very long time now. Brownish blond cloudy body with a sad looking white skiff on top. Sour white wine type aroma, lots of fresh apple juice….nope not apple it’s more like a pear cider, the wheaty/yeast aromas a fairly mild. Trying to remember why I use to like this. Sour acidic flavor but has a nice sweet wheat malt under that. Very lemony and has a crisp stinging mouth feel. Starting to improve now with warmth. Malts are thickening and sour is disappearing. Beer is starting to be as good as I remember just not the epic beer I thought it was. Good beer in the end it just not nearly as good other Belgian strong ales that are out there. Still a great beer to let newbies have to get them interested in exploring the world of beer. My marks seem low!

Cloudy yellow with a dense head. Grassy banana and some citrus. Hoppier than I expected. Just a hint of bubble gum under there. Not terrible, but not my pick.

Bottle. Pours a nice golden color with a white head. Lots of bubbles. Aroma is mostly Belgian yeast with some sweety and grassy notes. Taste is yeast, orange peel, and some sweetness. Nice carbonation and mouthfeel. Overall a top notch beer.

5-ish year old bottle, pours a dark red color with a small head. Aroma is very sweet wuth hints and raisins. Smell reminds me of wine as well. Taste is okay, very sweet. Has a long lingering aftertasge

This was a great beer and it was a good pour and it was a nice pour. It was a very nice head and it was a beautiful white.

Pours yellow with frizzy low head. Not a lot of aromas, some citrus and belgian yeast. Taste is medium sweet, citrusy, frizzy and some alcohol. Nice evenly smoothed sweetness all way makes this beer enjoyable.

Big aroma of yeast, very zesty with a nice warm undertone of alcohol. Extremly high carbonation at 1st which makes the beer lively but as the carbonation begins to fade and as the beer begin to disappear along with the alcohol a pleasant mellow feeling takes over. Nice beer.

golden color, aroma of yeast, banana, citrus fruits, clove, flavors of banana, citrus/tropical fruits, candy sugar, yeast, med body, very enjoyable brew

22oz bottle into tulip. Nice Belgian ale pours a clear golden pale with a good size head. aroma of malt, yeast, some floral with some hay. Clean refreshing finish, drinkable.

Tap. Pours mostly clear golden, medium head, decent lacing. Light aroma dominated by yeast and wheat notes. Malty sweet flavor, wheat and alcohol notes noticeable. Watery palate.

Hazy blond, medium tan foam head. Yeast and cereals, reductive notes melted with esters. Again dominated by yeasty flavours in mouth. Fresh palate, then smooth and a bit tannic, medium bitterness, a bit short in aftertaste.
