Aug 15, 2005 Tasted at brewery and purchased on many occasions. Quite possibly NBB’s most consistent beer in terms of flavor from purchase to purchase. Slight cloudy brown color and wonderful banana/clove/bubblegum flavor. Nice smooth mouthfeel makes this easy drinking for such a flavorful beer.

Jul 31, 2005 Grainy malt aroma. Mahogany color with creamy head. Rich cola flavors with lots of that banana belgium yeast and some toasted malt. Very fruity but the toasted flavors balance. Leaves a nice impression.

Jul 8, 2005 The head is great. Tastes like Belgian ales, but not overly strong. The flavor starts well but disappears too quickly, leaving a little something to be desired. Compared to the average Belgian price, however, this is excellent.

Jun 13, 2005 Pours a wonderful brown. Flavors are hints of fruit and roasted malt. Yeast is a hidden culprit on the tongue. A nice effort from a great brewery.

Jun 8, 2005 Red to brown clear pour with a great head. I found this a bit dry more simple, yet bold Belgian flavor. Tart yet not bitter. Not much of a fan of pale or amber ale, but would get this one again. It is worth a look.
