| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 22, 2009 This one poured a cloudy dark yellow color with a white head. Aroma was sweet malts and bittering hops as well. Flavor was much like the classic except the extra hops block out the sweet malty finish. kassner (477), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Great Head that fades slowely, great lacing, cloudy blond color, but not much distinstion for flavor as hops go. As a strong ale it is OK for its alcoholcontribution, sweet, but weak on fruits. As a hopped Belgian there are better versions. Distinctive but not the best use of hops. eczematic (1215), Sydney, Australia
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2009 fantastic hop aroma - all the perfumey herbal flowery stuff I like, mixed with nice fresh doughy belgian yeast and bit of banana. 5 for appearance cause the head is colossal and leaves great ice floes as it subsides. in the mouth a bit disappointing - dry to the point of emptiness, with phenols peppery (good) but also a bit burn ointmenty ( bad): surprisingly not much bitterness. banana.
