Feb 1, 2009 Good hints of white spice. While I understand that beligans should be less dark, this beer looks and heads like natural light. Not a whole lot of flavor, but there is good spice on the back. This is one of the most drinkable belgians at 7.3% i’ve ever had.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Pour is a clear and light gold with a finger or so of white head. Aromas of cloves and bananas with a bit of an acidic or urine edge to them... smells kind of unappealing, to be honest. Maybe urine isn’t the best descriptor, but something smells kind of off. In the flavor, this weirdness comes off as a bit of a metal and a bit of vegetation rot that intertwines with the sweet honey malt, banana and clove yeastiness and the peppery edge from the hops. Man, this just isn’t what I expected.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber-gold with a thick, fluffy white head. Sharp aroma of malt, yeast, spices, and hops. Taste is sweet and sharp, of malt, spices, yeast, citrus, and a hint of hops. Lingering light sweetness. Not too exciting but decent.

Jan 26, 2009 Sparkling gold, creamy white head. Soft cotton candy and citrus perfume nose rides soft peppery herbal tones. Hints of yeast at room temp. Lightly spiced candy flavors round to a soft earthy hop note. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, soft bittersweet finish. Drinkable, but definitely not GD’s best effort...

Jan 24, 2009 pours lite gold color with effervescent bubbles. aroma is predictably yeasty and citrusy. taste is same, with a little more hoppiness than most belgian ales. but in the end, fairly middle of the road. not a bad thing, but not particularly exciting or surprising here.

Jan 23, 2009 Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan. Sweet, easy drinking belgian here. No major complaints fro me, I actually enjoyed this much more than the first time I had it when it first came out. Easy drinking and unoffensive.

Jan 23, 2009 Thanks hophead75 for the bonus. Pours a translucent clean pale gold with a thin fizzy white. The aroma was sweet, mild Belgian feel, lightly earthy, some spice and funk. The flavor is spicy, earthy, some candy, mild waxy bite, warming, Belgian yeasty character. Palate shows some astringency. Pretty decent.
