Jan 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to dirtymartini: Pours a clear orange gold with a quickly dissapating white head. Aroma, fruity esters, banana, yeast, some clove, and floral notes. Flavor, sweet pale malts, floral hops, banana, bubble gum, some spices, most notably cloves, good bit of floral bitterness towards the end. Not bad.

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

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. Honestly I thought this was an ESB and not a Belgian Strong Ale.

Jan 10, 2008 [918-20071205] Tap @ Redlight Redlight (Orlando, FL). Orange wheat aroma has some mild grainy hops. Hazy, yellow brown body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Wheat-like citrus flavour influence has a little fruity hops and nail polish. Medium body. Noticeable kick, more of a holy moly.
