Sep 10, 2007 Bright gold pour with a big white head. Floral, spicy aroma with some yeast and bread/dough. Lighter tasting than expected. Oranges, crisp hops, honey,and a wheat-like tartness. Very dry. It was still very nice.

Sep 7, 2007 This Belgian Ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 750ml cork-finished bottle. Medium sized white foamy head with good head retention and nice lacing. Aroma is spicy and fruity, with some hints of orange, yeast and pepper. Lighter to medium bodied Belgian Ale. The malts are fruity and
sweet, with some cookie in the background. The hops are floral and earthy. Its much drier and spicier than one would expect from a golden ale. The peppery finish balances the malts, instead of the hops. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing. This is a nice beer for a warm summer evening.
Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is spicy and peppery.

Sep 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a golden color and a medium head. Spicy aromas, some esters, some nutmeg and a distinct hoppy nose. Flavor is bitter, spices and just a hint of the typical Belgian yest flavors. Finishes with some hoppy bitterness. Quite a refreshing brew, good for warm summer afternoons.

Aug 29, 2007 Poured a hazed golden orange color with a thick white head. The aroma and flavor were malty with a nice mix of yeasty esters and phenols. When one thing finished the other started. Peppr, citrus, dough, floral. My biggest complaint though was that this was a good bit dryer than I like. Medium bodied.

Aug 21, 2007 750 mL bottle purchased from Monument Wine and Liquors. Orangey, citric, peachy, bubble gummy, floral aroma. Big time bubble gum. Very sweet and different. Moderately hazy copper orange body with a frothy, rocky vanilla colored head that leaves attractive lacing. Citrus, spiced, hoppy start. Rather orange0like and dry. Wheat-like maltiness is present in the middle with a hoppy, piney, dry finish. A nice beer that I would call a Belgian IPA.
