Originally reviewed: 9/21/09. Poured into my tulip glass a murky orange/gold with a big frothy off-white head on top. Retention is minimal, and there’s little lacing. Small dark chunks float throughout this brew. I’m guessing it’s yeast. Smells slightly peppery and yet sweet. Mild fruity tones waft out like peach and nectarine. Nice. The mouth is bubbly and crisp, but not harsh in any way. Carbonation level is spot on. This is a tamer version of a Belgian Pale from my experience. The yeasty quality that I find in most is muted; it’s pleasant. Flavors of honey and nectarines are the main players here. This a wonderful fruit-forward Belgian Pale that I am honored to have tried.

Poured beautifully out of Growler. golden with a white foam head, It is a gorgeous looking beer, citrus aroma. feels great on the tongue

22 oz. bottle- Pours cloudy golden with a small collapsing head, which makes sense, clouds and the devil don’t exactly mix. The aroma is Belgian yeast, then pepper spice, very nice, it smells like a saison. The taste is spicy up front, creamy, It is like a cross between a saison and a Belgian tripel. This beer is very sinister, those evil sons o’ bitches. Drink it, it feels good!

Great hazy and vibrant orange coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of yeast, honey, wheat and a very nice curacao and bubble gum sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong yeast and wheat flavour with a great sweetness of honey, caster sugar and even some light fruits. Aftertaste shows a good wheat and yeast vibe with a fairly good complexity, some coriander seed notes and a little bit of other spices. Overall, another great beer from the brewery - and of course, makes me happy to be in Alaska again! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Brown Jug in Anchorage (Northern Lights Blvd), Alaska on 22-May-2013 sampled later in the evening on 22-May-2013 in my hotel room here in Anchorage.

bottle, on Celebrity Infinity, rendevous lounge, as part of beer cruise. Good aroma, Tart and sweet. Yeasty, spice. Clove, barnyard, grassy. citrus, grapefruit. 1st pour was clean golden yellow, good head and lace. 2cd pour was very foamy. some floaties. Head settled down quickly. Tart flavor. Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, Dry bitter finish. Very Nice. So smooth for 8%. finish has nice bite about it. Cruisin and Midnight Sun, good living.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with goldtwins (thanks!!!!).Bottle labeled born on 6-6-6 (nice). Poured a medium and cloudy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of pears, apples, light spices, yeast, and citrus. Tastes of pears, sweet apples, citrus, spices, and yeast. Light alcohol finish, but overall well hidden.

Bottled (From Cracked Kettle). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, toffee, fruits and some yeast, spices. Nice balance in the aroma. Flavour is caramel malts, toffee, fruits, earth, some pleasant spicyness. A very wellmade Belgoclone.

Bottle.

I’m quite surprised to not see this one performing better than it is on the site. I’m extremely impressed myself. Nice eggwhite head, hazy yellow-orange pour. Nose of lemon and yeast, flavor is lemon and pear skin and a fascinating yeast thing going on and this brown sugar thing coming in later in the palate, rather unexpectedly, warming things up in a way that rather to my surprise works extremely well. It’s not as dry as I’m used to in the style, but it works here; this beer is both distinctive and delicious.

Bottle thanks to blackdonald. This was very easy to drink. And hard to share with the friends I was sampling with. Nice dry feel. Citrus fruits, coriander, spices, and slightly floral. A very nice Belgian.

Poured from 1.5L bottle from MSBC. A hazy golden color with a quick forming white head that fades to a tight white ring. Aroma of Belgian yeast funkiness, sweet fruits, malt and a light hop note. The taste is the same with some spice/pepper notes. Medium body with good carbonation fizz. Overall a good beer that doesn’t show it’s alcohol until late in the finish.
