COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This golden Belgian ale will mystify you with its medium body, its subtle malt and hop profiles, and its complex blend of spices. Fruit flavors, produced by a special strain of Belgian yeast, combine with Belgian candied sugar, chamomile, grains of paradise, and cardamom to create an unfiltered ale so intriguing, you’ll never want to get to the bottom of the mystery ... or your glass.

lamas (1033) - Washington DC, USA - SEP 4, 2009
Draft at Bowie location. Arrived at the table a fairly clear copper color with virtually no head. Some eucalyptus and candied sugar in the floral, spicy aroma. Fairly thin-bodied. Tastes as I expected based on the aroma - starts with some light candied sugar, a bit of honey, and a yeasty tanginess. Finishes quite spicy, crisp, and just a tad sour. Fair.

porterhouse (1481) - Alna, Maine, USA - AUG 23, 2009
(Draft @ Arundel Mills location) Served in a shaker. Pours cloudy light gold/amber with a smalll biege head. Aroma of spice (ginger?) and light candy-malt. Mouthfeel lightly pebbly, a bit dryish and wooden. Broken light sheets and dabs of lacing. Flavor of spice and light candy sugar-malt, perhaps slight banana. Maybe slightly better than mediocre.

jvmiller (558) - Bel Air, Maryland, USA - AUG 31, 2008
Did not like. Was expecting a little more body and flavor. Yes, it had some spice to it, but it was too weak for my liking. Next, please.
