| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2007 Slightly hazy golden/amber coloured body with a nice dense tan head and larger bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of strong toffee and golden syrup, yeast, wheat and a bit more sweetness - very nice. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong sweetness up front of raisins, figs, grapes and some bananas - chewy body with a good malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a mild bitterness, some nuts - but mostly sweetness. Overall, a very nice trip/belgie strong, not a bad offering from an american brewer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Tampa, Florida on 17-December-2007. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA

Aroma of banana and belgian yeast. Medium bodied with a slight stickness. Initial flavor of Belgian wheat malts, banana, pear, that is countered by a subtle herbal bitterness mid palate, along with some biscuity notes. More sweetness comes out as it warms. Semi dry and yeasty finish. Not a bad Belgian style beer.
