I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Bottle at Monks Cafe. Poured a cloud blond color with a small white head. Was obvious from the first sniff that this beer was very well carbonated, almost champagne like.Interesting hop nose and flavor. Seemingly light but with some nice notes and a nice dry finish/

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2009 33cl bottle from Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy golden copper color with thick and foamy bright white head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is grain, flowers, hay, cooked veggies, honey, sweet malt. Flavor is wheat, sweet malt, flowers, banana, faint citrus, some faint spice. Generally medium to full body with with sweet and malty finish.

Very active on opening, thick head. appears cloudy with nice orange color. Taste fruity and citrus, I’m thinking orange because of the bottle color. For a strong beer not much alcohol flavor.

bottle. Highly carbonated, when I opened it I had to rush to the sink as the foam was gurgling out. Pours a very nice looking peach gradient, shades of orange and red, with a big white frothy head which as it settles forms small mountains and has nice lacing. Aroma of peaches, apricot, and a strong honey aspect, almost a mead like aroma. Thick honey like texture, with first a bite of Belgian spices, then a honey flavor, to finally a somewhat dry finish. I can’t emphasize enough that the honey is big in this beer, both in aroma and flavor, and it’s a good thing. Has a definite kick to it considering the 10% and although there is a sort of sharpness to the beer I couldn’t find any outright alcohol favors. I must say I quite liked this one, I can see how some may find the lack of softness offsetting, but I’m fine with intense, big experience this beer provides. Nice.

This is the closest beer to Delirium Tremens that I have ever had. Rich full flavor. Delicious hop aftertaste. Very clean tasting.

Complex, well-balanced beer. Fruity aroma, subtle hint of banana, creamy texture. Well-camouflaged alcohol for such a strong beer.
