Nice slightly dry Belgian ale. Pours copper. The aroma and nose are clove. Finishes on a dry note.

It is hazy orange and the head is small and creamy. The aroma has notes of coriander, yeast, fruit and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of yeast, spice – especially coriander – malt and fruit. IMO the coriander/yeast is a bit too dominating.

Aroma: wet birch. earthy. Appearence: Golden, generous head, medium to high carbonation. Flavor: yeast! dried apricot. yeast yeast. Palate: bitey front that mellows; carbonation too present. Overall Impression: unique, earthy aroma. Not their best beer.

Delicious beer. Starts with very strong pronounced fruit estery aroma. Light head that dies off relatively quickly. Flavor starts malty and lends toward the belgian yeast complexity with lots of spiciness. light easy finish slightly warmer afterward.

Served on tap, it is a very lightly cloudy golden color w/ very little head. Medium sweet and fruity, w/ perhaps a not quite enough carbonation. Some funky yeast notes and a healthy dose of hops keep it interesting. Stylistically, I’d say this most closely matches a saison.

Flaske: Årgang 2008. Flot rødlig gennemsigtig øl med et lille skumhoved. Duft af gær og en smule krydderi. Smagen er krydret tæt op af en blonde. Godt alkoholbid der garanteret også kommer af en smule mere humle end en origial belgier. God øl.

Damn good. Pours a deep orangey golden color with copper highlights and a medium sized creamy off white head. Notes of carmelized apples, baking chocolate, creme filled desserts, brown sugar, raisins. Just delicious, has some goose island flavor mixed with your standard Belgian tastes.

Peculier Pub: Goose Island does it again... pour is cloudy/ hazy... dark amber in color. Nice head, very light lace left on the glass. Yeast is readily available in aroma, roasted nuts, maybe dark chocolate, HOPS, light fruit. Medium carbonation goes well with the overall mildness of the beer.
