Aug 9, 2008 Light hazy pale golden beer topped by a thick lacy white head. The head is composed of very large, fluffy bubbles that are surprisingly persistent. Aroma is lovely. Soft fruity/peachy aroma, pale Belgian malts and a light spicy/minty qualities as well. Subtle spiciness with notes of nutmeg, clove, spearmint and a kiss of licorice as well. It’s quite Duvelesque in the nose but with a bit more spiciness. Flavour is lightly fruity with a lovely soft pale maltiness and a fairly prominent pear flavour. There is a soft herbal note and a fairly peppery alcoholic note as well. Quite creamy palate as well. It’s quite subtle and well-balanced. Nice dry finish with a soft spicy/herbal character over a highly fruity bubble gum estery base. Lovely brew.

Aug 5, 2008 750 ml. bottle shared by Marcus. Flavor is bright malt and hop - and then wham - anise! Fairly strong anise. Hazy white head. Medium body with sharp, almost creamy carbonation. It’s well balanced. Finish is lightly sweet and mildly bitter/anise. Anise has never been so acceptable. Exceptional mouthfeel.

Aug 4, 2008 This golden ale poured with a decent off-white head and a floral aroma. The flavor is malty with some spices - peppery and herbal. The alcohol is quite noticeable, but not overwhelming. This is completely different from the Van de Keizer blue.

Aug 3, 2008 Very effervescent, hazy gold pour, with a well-sustained, foamy head - strong herbal character hits the nose first, followed by a little earthy must, banana, honey - starts off dry and herbal, becoming almost soapy, with some hop bitterness behind it, and a bit of a peppery quality - gets a bit sweet after this, giving the impression of herb-infused honey - a bit fruity, with some bubble gum-ish character, reminding me somewhat of Juicy Fruit, which is a little bit of a turn off - some alcohol heat and more peppery spice in the finish - it wants to be light and refreshing, but its high alcohol content won’t let it, resulting in a golden ale that is a little too sweet (with a touch too much alcohol) to be completely enjoyable - it ain’t no Blau, but it’s not all bad.
