Aug 2, 2007 Definitely unlike just about anything I’ve tasted before. Comes off kind of like a spicy lambic. Orangish/brownish color with a very active head (it started foaming the second I opened up the bottle). Aroma as promised of spice and fruit. Flavor a sort of yeasty sour fruit flavor with hints of cinnamon and cloves. I couldn’t taste a whole lot of hops in there, though, yet alone a "profuse amount."

Jul 25, 2007 A nice big Belgian with an easy drinking profile. All the requisite character is there: light sweetness, spicy aroma hops, lightly bitter hop finish, notes of dried fruit, etc. Sometimes Belgians give off a tartness that is not present in this brew. Very clean, and perhaps a good introduction to the Belgian style. Hides its potent alcohol content well. Nicely balanced, but not an outstanding entry.

Jul 23, 2007 Bottle: Pours a dirty copper brown with a tiny white head. Nose is mild of Belgian spices and fruitiness. I found this to be incredibly smooth with flavors of frutiness up front, a little yeast and spices with a little hops too. Thanks EithCubes!

Jul 22, 2007 Good enough belgian ale with a full malt backbone; however, this ale runs a bit sticky sweet on the tongue which overwhelms any flavor lying underneath. In all, a good beer, if a bit one-sided.

Jul 22, 2007 Very suprising. Good that is. Real nice complexity for the style. Nice bitterness too. They actually had this on tap at PIER 32 in Hamilton Indiana. I’ll be back!!!

Jul 22, 2007 Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of dried fruit, wheat & alcohol, smoke & vanilla. The beer is sparkling copper. The fully lasting off-white head leaves good lace. The brew is spicy & peppery with high acidity and a brief finish. The full creamy body is lively, the finish feels dry.

Jul 20, 2007 On tap at Old Chicago. Very intersting beer with plenty of hops, some citrus flavor. Very good carbonation and yeasty taste.

Jul 18, 2007 Pours a golden orange color with a lacy white head. Aroma is floral hops with yeast and citrus characteristics as well. Candy sugar somewhat detectable. Taste is citrus up front, but the yeast, sugar, and fruit characteristics come shining through in the end. This is a very subtly complex beer and a wonderful offering from Goose Island.
