Commercial Description:
Brewed for Jupiter Brewing Co. (http://jupiterbrewing.com/index.html) by Orlando Brewing Co.

This unique copper-colored ale derives its fruity, slightly spicy aroma from authentic Belgian Abbey yeast. The subtle nutty and malty sweet flavors sing in harmony with the freshest organic hops vailable. Monk In the Trunk devotees are known to chant about its most intriguing quality, true drinkability.

Orlando, Fl. - Rossi’s Pizzeria - on tap. Medium copper pour, tight white head, good lacing. Sweet aroma with hints of candied sugar, maple syrup. Flavor has some of the same sweet elements with some cotton candy thrown in there. Reminds me somewhat of a light Belgian Brown Ale. Has an enticing bitter back end that keeps my enthusiasm going for this one. Decently thick mouthfeel. Wish this brewer distributed more around the state.

On tap at the Titanic brewpub. Pours clear copper color with off white head. Aroma is lots of spices and bread. Flavor is very sweet with malt, clove, caramel, banana and Belgian yeast. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Delray Beach. Not the best amber I have ever had. Goldish color with aromas that aren’t special or unique. Flavor is mild and smooth,but not spectacular.
