3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light golden pour with decent head. Aroma is light, banana-ish, malty. Taste is very pleasant, smooth, with rich malty taste. Just a bit of fruit thrown in that seems well balanced with a light hoppiness. Nice Belgian ale - a shame Heavyweight is no more.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy pale golden color with thin, long-lasting head. Fruity aroma. Nicely balanced flavor with mild fruit tones, malty background with a bitter hop finish. No one flavor dominated, but all blended well to make a very drinkable brew. Real nice and unique.
1.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
12 oz. bottle from Shoreline drank on 8/10/06. Total Gusher! (My first ever) Gushed for a good 5 min. until I finally poured it. Cloudy golden yellow orange. Huge 3" creamy white head. Huge foam sticks around. Huge lacing. Aroma - Avg. strength, low for a Belgian Golden. Bananas, a little cloves, a little yeast and spice, sweet. Almost a little tangy. Flavor - most likely an infected brew. Doesn’t taste horrible, but it is definitely off. Avg. up front bitterness. On the tongue it’s a little bit sour. Really dry and almost metallic finish. Palate - light, almost watery. Very high carb. Overall - seems like it could be a good beer, but this one is definitely infected. Tastes completely off. Sour, dry, not sweet at all - no banana, cloves, spice, or yeast flavor.

Thanks to The_Epeeist for this. The beer pours to a really hazy caramel colored body with a white head. The aroma is strange. Spicy fruits and interesting hops/malt. The flavor is quite unique. Spicy fruits. Tart rich mouthfeel. A very unique Belgian style brew.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy pale golden witha small quick white film of a head. Fine thin sheets of lacing. Aroma is a very light sweet almost pilsnerish malty. Flavor is again rather pilsnerish and the Belgian notes I was expecting are quite faint. Pleasant enough but nothing special. Clean finish.

Bottle: Cloudy gold with a white fizzy head and spotty lacing. Perfumy sweet malt aromas. The taste is as equally sweet - sugary grains, grapes, light tones of cardboard. The feel is fairly thin and it leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. Too much for me - give me an IPA! Thanks Indiana_Red!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz Bottle Pours out very light like gold topped with a white head. A nice sweet aroma. Very light for a Belg.Thanks Indiana_Red
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
An aroma of spice. A slightly citrusy spicy flavor. Just a slightly weak watery palate. A good beer I would love to drink again.
