Attractive light golden/orange color with a very active head forming which remained throughout. Aroma’s of banana and other sweet fruits are most dominate. The flavor follows through with fruit being the main taste of this beer. The finish is rather complex, somewhat dry yet sweet. A nice beer.

Pour from the 25oz. bottle (hahey...what’s that little gnome up to? I don’t know what he’s doing but he sure looks like he’s up to trouble) into a pint glass: Yummy. Tastes like a Heff- notes are similar in that it’s big on the crisp banana taste and yeast. Balanced fermented fruits swirl around the palatte giving it an incredible finish. Drinkability: Definite drinkability. Rebuy: Sure. #188 on 13092009, DG.

Bottle. Drank this amazing brew with Vinny. Pours a beautiful orange gold, with a dank white head. Subtle aroma of sweet fruits, with a hint of banana. Body is full, with a rich, crisp finish. Excellent beer from an excellent brewery, Highly recommended.

Amazing floral aroma. pours a great head, almost creamy in color. Beautiful, deep golden color when held to a light source. Citrusy tastes that don’t overpower. Crazy finish, with an overall amazing balance.

Arom of soil and yeast. The apperance is yellow with a nice head. The flavour is sweet, yeasty and of fermented fruits. This is a really nice beer with a very warming and round taste.

A nose of yeast and citrus - you can sense that this is indeed a belgian blonde. The taste is pretty straightforward, but has an acidity and a saltiness that makes it really enjoyable. The belgian blonde isn’t really the most exciting of beer styles, but I was happily surprised by this one!

750ml picked up at Macs on West Peachtree. yellow/orange apperance with a haze. Huge fluffy head. This looks more like a saison to me, but it still looks nice. Little spice with a lot of fruit and yeast. Not an overly pungent aroma, but very nice. Very fruity beer, with an almost unnoticeable spice. The yeast adds a nice backing to the beer. Oddlythis beer is smooth, although at moments I am thinking it is not so. Great flavor, but nothing really stands out to me with this beer.
