| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 13, 2008 Fruity pear banana aromas some sweet malt in backing, sweet fruity taste jumps out at you at first ,sweet candy malt followed by the grain flavor and bitterness of the Saaz hops,extremely strange to taste the initial Belgian taste and then get hit with all that hopping. I guess thats how they got the name of this brew. Thanks Kingpin elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 11, 2008 Bottle from Homebrew Mystery swap. Gold, white head dissipates quickly. Nose is light caramel & fruits, some breadiness, lemon. Flavor is toffee/caramel, rich malt, a hint of raisin.
