odinstyr (455) - Hamilton, New Jersey, USA - MAY 1, 2013
Pours a slightly hazy gold with a minimal white head. Smells of earth, barnyard, plums, figs. Taste is sweet, lightly bitter, spiced and sour - funk plums, strong belgian yeasty fruit, peppery hops.

Aroma citrus and a sweet smell. Apperence light golden with a slight white head strong citrus flavor with effervesence that tickles your mouth long on the palate with spicy overtones. Maybe coriander

Iphonephan (1193) - Virginia, USA - APR 28, 2013
From a 75 cl bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Aroma of banana with some citrus notes. Flavors of citrus, white pepper, and coriander. Pretty nice brew.

Suttree (4447) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 28, 2013
Dark yellow, fine white head. Smells toasty, spicy, and lightly sweet. Taste is sweet, winey, and a bit boozy. Much heavier than I was expecting. Not really my thing, I suppose.

naivepegasus (306) - USA - APR 27, 2013
Pours a very cloudy hazy yellow orange with a very thin film of head. A slightly sweet nose with a hint of straw. Orange zest initially in the flavor that builds to a nice soft sweetness in the finish.

Tap. Golden with small head. Sweet and Tripelish with nice spice. Alcohol well masked. Very tasty.

Shag (2439) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - APR 19, 2013
This poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma contains some lemons, alcohol, spices, and herbal notes. The flavor is a bit sour with a strong citrus presence. The spices are a little overdone in this one to be very enjoyable. Is it ginger I’m tasting? Not 100% sure but overall its ok but not my cup of beer.

Bacterial (409) - Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA - APR 19, 2013
Hazy golden pour, with a white head. Nice fruity nose on this one. Slightly boozy, but still crisp and clear. Spicy, fruity and nice!

A dark yellow pour with light white head. A sweet and citrusy aroma and flavor. A nice wheat flavor too.

keanex (785) - Atco, New Jersey, USA - APR 17, 2013
Bottled January 24, 2013.
Appearance: The body is nearly clear with an amber hue. The head is towering with a foamy texture, but quickly settles into a sparse foamy white coating.
Aroma: The aroma hints at fruity citrus that leans a bit sweet, slight spices, and a slight earthy presence.
Taste: The intro it fruity with sweet orange that quickly leads to a sweet malt base with an overlying spice. The finish becomes a touch fruity, perhaps some banana. The spice lingers for a bit after the finish.
Palate: Thick, creamy, and sharp carbonation.
Overall: This is a solid beer, it drinks like a maltier saison. The spice is prominent, maybe a bit too much so, but I enjoy this.
