2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
It poured a golden color with an off-white head. The aroma was of yeast and bread. The taste was of banana and some yeast. Not a bad brew.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Decent belgian like aroma. Flavors are fruity, flowery, and suprisingly fresh. The problem here is a mushiness in the malts and a noticable cloying sweetness at the finish. A good attempt but needs to be more serious about belgian style cloning.

Part of the Sampler Platter at Granite City in Creve Couer. Nicelt carbed. Nice spice taste. Good carbonation

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This draft brew from the brew pub poured a medium sized head of frothy medium sized light clear colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a no visible carbonation semi-opaque dark red colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty mild fruit banana and coriander. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish with a acidic aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild citrus coriander hops and malt. An OK brew just nothing special.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
tap at the release party in Ft Wayne - A manager told us this brew was 10.2% and I’m a bit skeptical it was that high, but we’ll go with it. That’s why I’ve entered it as a strong ale. As for their commercial description of "a beautiful golden color", wow, umm... no. It’s murky orange-brown. There’s a very minimal head and carbonation is light. It’s a Belgian ale, so what did they do with the carbonation? There’s a malty, lightly fruity aroma that’s pretty good. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a medium body. It doesn’t taste bad, I’m just not clear how this beer could be what they were intending.
