3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy, pale orange, good head. Spicy orange aroma, though it loses the sweetness in that taste -- coming through more as grapefruit. Not bad.

Very nice! Yeast comes out and if you can try to turn this upside down then let it sit for a few more days to dissolve the yeast more! Great heat with light head. Tasty!

Cellared bottle from November 2010. Popping the cork, this brew has a fine aroma akin to champagne, white wine and yellow apples. Pouring with a fluffy off-white head that fizzles down to a thin lace, this beer has a mostly wet palate paired with a slight stinging aftertaste. This is a juicy and quenching malty beer with no discerning hop flavor, but the flavors include banana, spice, coffee cake and cinnamon. Really tasty beer.

750ml bottle in pint glass. Pours a nice opaque amber. Head is active and about 1cm in size, slowly dissipating, but leaving traces along the glass as it is disturbed. Holding the glass to light shows a vigorous thin stream of bubbles erupting from the bottom. Aroma has that Belgium yeasty smell and is enticing. Flavor is a bit fruity, with a bit of a spicy finish. Mild level of carbonation on the finish. Nice Amber.
3.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Beautiful golden-amber beer with a thick white head and a hazy appearance. Scent is sweet and "yeasty". The malt and hop bitterness seem well balanced and for me combine with the carbonation to give the beer a black pepper-like bite up front. The finish seems sweet and slightly doughy. A nice well rounded beer that’s pleasant and interesting.

On tap at the Gingerman in Ft. Worth. Had this a few times but never rated. Pours amber with a thick head. Fruity aroma with hints of spice. Flavor shows the yeasty character, along with some sweet melon and pear. Creamy finish.
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
banana, yeasty, cinnamon/all-spice/clove aroma. Very thin head. Decent beer, but not worth the $20 we spent on the bottle. Surprinsgly low alchol.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Rocky Mountain Pizza in a plastic cup. Pours a deep copper color with a medium, tan head. The aroma is caramel malts, with a lot of fruity esters and spices. Figs, bananas, apples, and cloves. The flavor is very sweet and a little sour. The palate is light to medium, with lively carbonation and just a little astringent. Overall, this is a great beer.
