Jan 31, 2009 On tap at the Yardhouse in Long Beach. Served in a goblet glass. Color is a golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity bubblegum with a hint of spice. Flavors match the aroma with bubblegum and spice notes, also giving candy sugar sweetness and a little alcohol. Nice and light for the size and a dry finish. A nice Belgian beer to end the evening.

Jan 30, 2009 (bottle) Pours dark, hazy gold with a fluffy white head that settles to a thin ring around the glass. Great aroma of floral honey, must, faint funk, coriander, pears, baked bread, faint citrus, stale hop, and a touch of pineapple. The taste is also really great, and all at once there are flavors of spice, yeast, and sweetness that blend together very nicely. Light flavors of orange marmalade, honey, with spicy kicks of coriander, deer sausage, and light citric peel bitterness, that then rounds out to a really nice bready/yeasty finish that really sticks around long after drinking. The perfect carbonation really accents the spicy kicks right before the finish, and the mouthfeel is medium. This beer is perfectly balanced, complex, and just a pleasure to drink.

Jan 10, 2009 clear gold color, beautiful belgian lace, sweet nose, bananas, sweet flavor but not at all cloying, apple, spicy hop bitters, dry metallic finish, this ale lacks complexity against other Belgian strong goldens, though still an excellent ale. +1 point overall for having a gnome on the label (http://gnartoons.com/COMICS/Special/Gnome/Gno
