COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish. Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

Aroma is banana, wheat, yeast, bisquit. Appearance is a typical yellow pilsner hue, crystal clear. Taste is first hit with a wheat and yeast flavor with a slightly clove, banana, and lemon finish. Palate is medium carbonation in average finish is long and lingering. Very good Abbey style ale, definitely belgian and a must try! Would have again, summer thirst quencher.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of mikem409 - Pours a hazy golden color with a two and a half finger thick white head. Aroma is floral and spice. Flavor is lightly sweetened malt, esters, and spice. The spiciness lingers in the finish. Medium body. A good beer. Thanks Mike.

a decent Belgium ale. Nice mix of hops and a solid malt backbone. Not an everyday beer for me but decent from time to time.

This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.

FunkyBrewster (1316) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 20, 2011
UPDATED: JUL 21, 2011 12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden with a small white froth. Aroma is spicy and full of fruitiness both light citric, some apple and hints of banana esters. Some spice and pale malts around out. Flavor starts with some light fruits and banana, picking up some spice and sweet honey through a softly grainy malt finish. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Pretty good stuff, very drinkable and refreshing

BelgianBeerGal (2105) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - JUL 16, 2011
Traded bottle. Pours a nice clear, golden color with a thin white head that makes a ring. Interesting aroma that honestly had me thinking lager at first and banana at the end. Taste was honestly a little thin. You pick up the Belgian notes (spice, yeast...) in the aftertaste but then it almost seems like an afterthought. Not bad.
