Mar 25, 2008 From Capone’s swell selection.
With Easter turkey dinner.
More hoppy than the style would or should dictate.
Not devoted to this one from Lost Abbey, more of a disappointment.
I’ll pass on this one next time.

Mar 9, 2008 Tried from the first keg a the brewery. Pours a light gold with a small head. Nice hop character with a sweet fruit nose. Dry mouthfeel with a nice yeasty charcter. The hops are not there in the taste. NIce bready character.
A good example of a belgium ale from Tomme and gang.

Mar 5, 2008 Dark golden with medium head. Aroma of sugar, apricot and a bit of yeast.
Smooth mix of spicy/c hops with bready malt. Light and enjoyable with a very bitter finish. Mild alcohol. Enjoyable; almost like a lighter version of the Signature Ale they did with DeProef.

Mar 5, 2008 Pours clear gold, with a slight chill haze. A generous white head rises to the brim, and slowly fades to an opaque surface coating of medium to fine bubbles.
Aromatics lead off with minerally and grassy overtones. Barely a trace of malt and mildly spicey hops. A hint of lemon oil and white pepper round out the nose with an afterthought of dry hay.
Mouthfeel is on the full side of medium, creamy and well carbonated.
Pallet is dry and bitter, with a faint, crisp, malt backbone and more spicy hopping than promised.
A gypsum-like chaulkiness firms up the bitterness that lingers and lingers.
Mildly citrusy and pretty straightforward as far as the yeast tells.
Finishes bone dry and bitter.
Not a lot of hubbub going on in this brew, I was hoping for more hops, alcohol, and funk. The bitterness lingers almost to the point of being a detraction without more hop flavor or funk to back it up.

Feb 25, 2008 Transparent, magnifying and bubble filled straw yellow. A sustained soda head floats on top. A signature honey biscuit with marigold pollination reaches the nose. Lemon seltzer water, orange rind and daffodils provide an in-sync, artistically simple - yet elegant - aroma. Effervescence shines as the clean, hoppy treat gives a cleansing and dry palate swipe. Buttered vanilla and lemon shards get smoothed over honey baguettes. A doughy biscuit trait gets bought out by biscotti for a drier edge. White rose blossoms dipped in honey and a hoppy, herbal cotton and tangerine take are well met with the dry, medium bodied and amply carbonated concoction. Lemon seltzer and lilac baguettes take the final bow. Thanks for the bottle, tpkenned!

Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Dec 14, 2008Another bottle thanks to mreusch. Poured a clear golden color with some rising bubbles and a thick white head that left decent lacing. Slightly funky nose with spices with a bit of yeast and hops on the nose. Slightly funky malt flavor leads into a yeasty barnyard flavor and finishes with a light, crisp hop finish. Nice carbonation. Pretty solid Belgian. Thanks Matt, I appreciate it.
