Jun 28, 2009 2008 bottle; courtesy of daknole. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a frothy white head that diminishes to a creamy cap and patchy lace. As it opens up, the nose is dominated by a solid Dubble Bubble note and fruity Belgian yeast. Medium-bodied, creamy and velvety-soft with a lingering yeastiness in the finish. Sweet and yeasty with solid notes of spicy pear, bubble gum, faint banana and white pepper. It lacks the integration and finesse of better examples of this style, but it’s a pretty decent beer. Thanks for the bottle Dak.

Jun 7, 2009 Weak aromas of yeast and some fruit. Poured a somewhat hazy golden color with a small white head. Excellent flavors of sweet yeast and citrus fruits as well as some bubblegum. Not one of the sweeter Belgian Strong Ales I have had but a good beer nonetheless.

May 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from Spirits RB. Pours a clear golden/orange with a smaller bright white bubbly head. Initiial aroma was very floral, with notes of yeast and grains followed up with banana and tangerine rinds. Medium bodied with a dry finish and average carbonation. Flavor of yeast and dry toast, to a lesser extnent some fruity esters. Not bad but not knocking my socks off either.

May 5, 2009 Bottle. Crystal clear yellow/orange pour with little carbonation. Aroma was bready bubblegum. Flavor was heavy on honey, malts and finished syrupy with a little bit of hops. Decent HM beer, but wouldn’t trade for again.

May 4, 2009 On tap at Raleigh WBF. Pours a cloudy light orange with a decent white head that quickly settles down. Aroma of lemongrass, faint yeast, orange peel, coriander, grassy hops- almost a little skunkiness. Taste is very sweet with light fruits, white sugar, cotton candy, and lots of cloying alcohol. Light-bodied and fizzy on the palate. Not bad- but for this style it is not even close to par.
