12 oz bottle poured into my tulip glass. Golden amber with a high pillowy head. Aromas of Belgium yeast and the typical banana and spices. Tastes of subtle spices with a hint of roasted malt sweetness. A good solid offering but not in the same class as the Yeti.

Aroma is more subtle than I expected. Appearance is pretty standard. Taste is quite good, fantastic crisp balance between the spices and hops. Not an incredible standout, but much better than most.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 superspak (589) - Michigan, USA - APR 9, 2011
12 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours crystal clear golden amber color with a 2 finger dense white head with very good retention, that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Some very nice lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of banana, clove, spicy yeast, and bread. Aromas are a bit weak. Taste of banana, cloves, honey, spices, and some other fruitiness. Fairly dry finish, but there is some slight spicy and fruity sweetness that lingers for a brief period after the finish. No bitterness detected in this as well. Medium carbonation and body, has a good mouthfeel for a Belgian style. Overall, this is quite an enjoyable Belgian style from Great Divide.

Not surprising for Great Divide, this is a very nice Belgian Ale. lemony golden color, almost clear with a very bright white frothy head. sweet and well balanced, with a clean finish
