UPDATED: DEC 17, 2008 Corked bottle picked up at Whole Foods, San Diego. Pours a slightly hazy golden/straw looking color, with a small white head. Aroma is dry and a little bit fruity. Some grain is noticeable as well. Very dry flavor up front with a little bit of fruit. Some sweetness follows. Finish seems to be somewhat spiced with a light hint of bitterness. The alcohol is very well hidden.

Bottle. Pours clear light gold with an insane amount of head. Thick, fluffy white clouds that leave plenty of lace. Spice, fruit, lemon aroma. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet peach and toffee taste, with an alcohol-dry and spicy finish. A trace of pepper and just a little bitter on the exit.

330 ml bottle.
Pours a light yellow colour with a frothy white head with good retention. Aroma of caramel malts, herbs and some grains.Flavour of caramel malts, herbs, grains, sweet fruits, bitter hops. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a thick, quite rich finish with fruits and hops. Alcohol comes through a bit too much, but other than that quite good.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Norms, September ’08

Overall Impression: Really interesting beer, different then pretty much anything I’ve tried, combination of all kinds of flavors, but none of them over powering: fruity, floral, flavorful beer. Definitely worth drinking, especially if you like beers with a unique taste to them...

Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Cloudy honey-copper body with a wispy whitish head. Sweet, sticky, boozy, banana, apple, clove, lemon nose. Carbonic prickly front that changes into a dry sweet, boozy, chewy, apply finish. Assertive mild bitterness. Slight tart bite. Gnarley and bright. A bit too carbonated for my liking.

Bottle - 330ml. Nice cloudy golden body with a thick, lasting white foamy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with yeasty and biscuity hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Well balanced malty/hoppy taste that carries coriander, yeasty, and fruity notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Good stuff.

Bottle, beers of europe. Golden ale with a huge fluffy head, slightly cloudy to look at. Aroma is first heavily alcoholic, but has some background fruity notes and some marmite. To taste quite sweet with a dry finish, decent hopping and an alcoholic, slightly soured finish. Interesting yeasty Belgian.
