Tasted at tap house. A bit of grain sweetness, a bit of banana, pretty watery, thought it was dull for a type of beer I like.

Draft at the brewpub. Candy sweetness, spice and spiced apple on the aroma. Pours full, rich amber with a frothy white head. Flavor has a nice balance between sweet and spice with a hint of green apple tartness. Medium bodied and finishes with a yeasty dryness.

thomasacross (129) - Edina, Minnesota, USA - SEP 23, 2007
Draft at the Brewhouse. A nice take on the classic Belgian dubbel. Very appetizing in color. I don’t know that I love dubbels in general -- as with others, it was boozy, strong, and bitter with no real discernable flavor notes.

Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - MAY 27, 2007
On tap at the Fitgers Brewhouse in Duluth, MN, pours a clear coppery amber brew with a thin off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian ale style with caramel character. Taste is very wheat, lightly carbonated, with a touch of bananas. Finish is a little watery, dry and some yeast aftertaste.

BDR (2534) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - MAY 23, 2007
Massive head on this amber beer. Big wheat nose. Wheat likewise dominates the body. Yeasty finish.

undsioux7 (745) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - DEC 2, 2006
Aroma of some caramel, some fruit. Flavor seemed a bit bland, palate was a bit too watery. Unmemorable

footbalm (1219) - Western Minneapolis Suburbs, Minnesota, USA - OCT 12, 2006
ABR. Light brown brew with an inch of cream head. A non-impressive nose with a hint of exotic spices and ripe bananas. Not one of their better ones. Tastes like they rushed this or forgot to add something.

JK (3506) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - OCT 8, 2006
UPDATED: OCT 12, 2006 Autumn Beer Review, 2006. Unremarkable appearance, simple brown with a medium head. Lots of yeast and sugary malt in the aroma. Flavor is more sweet malt combined with sugar and fruit.

robertsreality (2460) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 27, 2005
Rich Apple Brown coloring with Hearty White Ring. Rich Fruity Aroma. Initial Clean Crisp Fruity Hit...Similiar to a Crisp White Wine..Light Dry Aftertaste. Very Simple Belgian But Quite Easy To Enjoy.
