Bottled, Bruges, 04-11-05. A warm golden slightly hazy coloured beer with a slim white head. Wonderfully tangled and complex layers of fruitiness and spices with hops in the background this is superb and actually even slightly better than the Malheur 12

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle 0,25 l. Hazy cloudy pale yellow, biggish fluffy white head. Nose has malts, marzipan, citrus, hops, honey. Flavor is intense. Malts, lot’s of aromatic hops, flowers, some marzipan and citrus, maybe peach. Slightly bitter and tart. Very nice and tasty. Positive surprise. Fizzy bottle conditioned mouthfeel.

Sep 25, 2008 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.

Sep 23, 2008 Wow. This beer was an awesome surprise. Lemony, citrusy, bread, and apple in the aroma. Superb malt flavor with a great sweetness to it. Lots of carbonation with some left over. Pours a slight hazy gold with color with lots of exuberance in the head. Great golden ale.

Sep 16, 2008 Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Blankboy, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. HAzy lemony yellow, small foamy white head.Odd caramel, hint of lemon, malty aroma - weird. Good taste - very lemony, zesty, lots of alcohol. Good, refreshing (at 10%!).

Sep 15, 2008 750 ml 02/2007 bottle split in Westmalle glass. Hazy straw with lasting flat white head. Spicy citrus lemon bread yeasty aroma. Subtle honey sweetness with medium ripe melon peachy fruit enticing underlying hop bitterness and spicy dry finish. Nicely complex. Wow. This is just how I like them. No alcohol presence in flavor. Medium body, effervescent carbo texture. Nice mouthfeel. An excellent beer and a new fave. No excuses, I just love this. What a great surprise.
