May 1, 2008 Bottle, 22oz. A hazy, yellow-golden beer with a white head. Pale malt, bananaish fruityness and a little spicy touch in the aroma. The flavor is much the same. Would like them both more pronounced, especially the aroma. Medium body. It’s way to high on the alcohol to make it an all-nighter, besides that, it has the easy-to-drink, quaffable qualities a session-beer needs. (080314)

Apr 16, 2008 Bottled. Part of blind tasting. Pour is very clear, decent white head atop. Plenty of spice, crisp hops, and yeast. Very unique balance, highly enjoyable... doesn’t taste like it tooks. Could see this pairing well with many foods. Also a bit surprised by the low rating.

Apr 13, 2008 22 oz bottle. Golden color, nice aroma of bubble gum, clove, and spice. Flavor is much of the same. Pretty standard Belgian Ale, but very solid. Surprised by the relatively low score.

Apr 12, 2008 Dec. 2007 - Perhaps one of the most drinkable Belgians I’ve had. Pale golden color with minimal head and lacing. Weak aroma of belgian malty fruitiness. The flavor was subtle fruits and spicing, but not watery. Very crisp bananas, some citrus twang and also a distinct yeastiness. A good beer with food.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle 650ml
Appearance: Clear golden ale with medium , bright white top 3+
Nose : Aromatic hop with sweet grainy malts. Softer yeasty bottom with wheat like ending accents 7+.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied, some wheat , high on carbonation. Semi strong on malting , mineral hop with yeasty connection. Ending of raw hops with basic pale malts. Reminds me of Belgia Fraters.

Apr 8, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a moderate white head that lasted until mid-glass but left no lace. Pleasant aroma of sweetgrass, yeast and malt. The flavor is yeasty with some spice and malt with a bit of sugary sweetness. Slightly funky as well. Lightly bitter at the finish.

Apr 2, 2008 Pale straw body with some haze. The head is bright white. The aroma is sweet with pears, cinnamon and some Super Glue. The taste is more of that glue character with some cinnamon spice. The finish is old sweat socks and aluminum. There is also an odd note of wax. While, the start of each drink begins promising with some pears, it fades to those other off flavors very quickly. Strangely made, I am not sure what Great Divide hoped to accomplish with this one. A sweet Belgian ale with some spicing, maybe a super pumped Belgian Wit? I am not sure as it is mostly a confusing mess with hints of sweetness and funk. It’s like you mixed a bad Belgian Golden style ale with a poorly made wit. It’s not terrible, but it seems like they didn’t know what they wanted.
