Slick (1956), Minnesota, USA Apr 4, 2007 Slightly hazy golden color,large white head that has a good hang time then fades slowly to leave a decent lace behind.The aroma was malty sweet with some mild hints of spice and fruit in the background.The flavor was malty and fruity with a decent spicy side some hints at bannana and a bit of a band-aid taste in there as well.Over all not a bad brew but i think i prefer the Yokel over this brew.
ratman197 (2362), Arvada, Colorado, USA Sep 27, 2008 Bottle poured a hazy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of pear, apple, spice and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of fruittiness, spice and light carmel with a smooth fruity finish. mnmwilson (6), Orange City, Iowa, USA does not count Aug 30, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of a friend from Wisconsin. Hints of banana and clove. Mild Belgian ale, good drinkable beer that fit well with the grilled hamburgers and vegetables! GAManiac (350), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 30, 2008 Pours a bright, almost clear golden yellow with a puffy white head that dissipates slowly leaving a little bit of lacing. Smell is pretty standard for a belgian pale with belgian yeast and bananas and only a hint of spices. The taste follows the aroma with a subdued yeast flavor and a bit more spices. The mouthfeel is fairly light but very smooth with strong carbonation. This isn’t the biggest or most unique example of the style but it’s extremely drinkable, especially as a summer staple. ogglethorp (801), Ohio, USA Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours ahazy golden color with a thick white head. Aroma is clove, banana, grain, floral. Flavor is light malts, grains, yeast, clove, banana, light lemon. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished on the sweet side. Delicious! badbeer (413), Iowa, USA Jul 5, 2008 Golden color with a pillowy white head with good retention, but no real lacing. Smell gives me bready, clove, ginger, and perhaps a hint of lemon. I get some same characteristics in the taste as the smell, but with a little more spice and lemon to it. Strong carbonation, perhaps a bit too much, medium bodied. It’s still a pretty drinkable beer despite the excess carbonation, and a pretty solid effort at a belgian style.
Additional note: I found this one to taste much better after swirling the glass to release excess carbonation. I would probably bump taste and mouthfeel up a bit after doing this, but I’m reviewing it how it came out of the bottle. Consider this a huge recommendation to let this warm and swirl your glass.
