Bottle from brewery. I wrote cloudy orange not straw yellow, moderate white head, some retention, some lace. Smells yeasty and grainy with a hint of alcohol. Tastes the same. Malts and wheat and grain dominate with a hint of citrus and a little alcohol burn. Medium body, good carbonation. Ehhh.

Sep 4, 2008 Pours a beautiful gold, with a classic Belgian head. Remarkably full aroma, with strong citrus notes, apple and baking spices (would complement apple pie wonderfully). A bit hot (appropriately, I guess), with yeast, hops, lots of spices and a very smooth, dry finish - just a bit tart. This one is incredibly drinkable.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of citrus fruits, maybe some apple, melon, light spices, zestiness. Flavor moderately sweet with enough balancing hops and an ever-so-subtle tartness. Quite easy drinking, a very nice brew.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle courtesy of inkubus27. Pours a cloudy light orange with a small disappearing white head. Aroma of raisin, light fruits, brown sugar. Flavor initially of lemony/citrusy hops, melon rind, slight raisin, alcohol, Belgian yeast, some vegetal notes. Very complex and dry (as advertised). Smooth drinking and delicious.

Aug 31, 2008 Pours hazy gold with white head. The nose it fruity (peach?) and herbal with some sugary notes. Tastes sort of like lemon lime and its pretty bitter. Medium body with high carbonation and a semisweet finish. Nice beer.

Aug 29, 2008 750ml bottle from Gravity in Olympia, WA--Tightly corked. Hard to open. Poured a sunny golden-copper body with lots of attitude. Soft fluffy white head rested on top. Sweet honey and citrus fruits as well as apples danced on tongue. Astringent but not super dry finish. Crisp effervescent bite. Complex yet sessionable considering high ABV. Nice beer!
