Drake (5231) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - DEC 30, 2008
11.2 ounce bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Uptown Charlottesville, VA. Best by 03.10.09. Pours a hazy peach color with a medium fizzy head. Average head retention and lacing. Fruity and syrupy aroma with pear, peach and hop notes. Taste is strong candi sugar and cotton candy. Some spice and fruity notes as well. Alcohol warmth in the finish. Full bodied and slightly chewy.

First try at Hope & Olive in Greenfield MA. Didnt know anything about it other than it was a Belgian Ale. The staff didnt have a clue, but what a treat it turned out to be! Almost like a more zesty cousin of La Fin Du Monde, or an extra spicy relative of Duvel. They now carry this at Ryan & Caseys. Grab one now.

I could hardly get the cork out of this thing and when i did, this thing gave me a lot of head. LOL. Poured out a golden color with all grades of stuff floating around. looks pretty disgusting. flavor was actually rather pleasant, but as it warm the alcohol showed its ugly face. Over all not a bad beer at all.

DrSamPHD (67) - Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA - DEC 22, 2008
Hazy golden-orange color with a thick frothy white head. The head lingers for a good 5 minutes. A very rich and fruity aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma, sweet, rich, and bubbly. Hoppy after-taste. A very crisp beer that is refreshing to say the least.

Hazy straw colored, white head. Aroma of alcohol and honey. Malty taste with some bitterness. Sneaks up on you.

beerbill (2939) - Laurel, New York, USA - DEC 20, 2008
Bottle shared by bellportbeer. Pours a hazy gold with a long-lasting moderate white head that laced the glass very nicely. An incredible amount of floaties in this beer that seem to hang as if in suspended animation. Pleasant aroma of citrus, apples and sugar. The flavor is similar and is fairly sweet. Fairly strong alcohol burn at the finish.

Metalhead (607) - Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA - NOV 29, 2008
Hazy gold pour decent lasting head. Nose is yeasty and sweet candied fruit with spices. Tastes exactly like it smells with a slightly thick chewy mouth feel. 11.2 oz bottle at $3.49. Decent brew
