May 15, 2009 A hazy yellow ale with a thin white head. In aroma, a nice pungeant mix of orange peels, cloves , bubblegum and citrus. In mouth, a oily caramel malt with light hops, orange peels, coriander, rich and warming. Quite nice. On tap at brewpub, May 9 2009.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander, curacao and mild hops. Good flavor of spices, yeast, citrus and noble hops, it’s also fairly sweet. The body is medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. I would have like it more dry than sweet, but it’s still a pretty good belgian ale.

Jun 23, 2008 My Bottom Line:
This excitedly fruity and inherently spicy Belgian Ale promotes milky yeastiness and honest cereals in a well-built but perhaps unrefined (for now) vessel.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam recedes to a ring on the murky blond-beige.
-The expressive yeastiness is impressive the comfortably low carbonation increasing the juiciness of the fruit esters.
-The spiciness recalls herbal hoppiness as much as ginger.
-This drinks just like any 5% Belgian Ale, even though the body is a tad bulkier.
