UPDATED: MAY 1, 2008 On tap at the Colgate Inn. Pours an orange-amber with a small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, some light flowery hops. Reminds me of a witte- lots of spices (corriander and anise star)and light citrus fruits. Finish of a buttery roll, kind of salty (but in a good way). A great session. Very drinkable.

bottle. pours a cloudy amber color with a generous tan head. smells of oranges, cookie, yeast, and light spice. taste is biscuit and citrus. amazing mouthfeel, full but not heavy. very drinkable. slightly bitter hoppy finish. for a fairly cheap American interpretation of a Belgian style it is quite amazing.

UPDATED: MAY 1, 2008 I thought i rated this a while back, i guess i forgot. I don’t remember the specifics but it pours a mean head and has a fruity nose. Taste is good - somewhat spicey and malty.
Will rerate soon.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2010 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber/copper color with a two-finger off-white head that quickly fades. Aroma of yeast, esters, caramel, and apricots. Flavor is initially mild with yeast upfront, fading to sweet maltiness and a slight hoppy bitter/tangy finish. Smooth and very drinkable. 3.30.10 rating; 750mL bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a frothy medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is Belgian yeast, sugar cookies, vanilla and cherries, a hint of pine sap and orange peel, and some alcohol. Flavor is sweet vanilla, dried fruit, spices, yeast, and a little alcohol. Smooth, a little creamy, and moderate carbonation. Good stuff. 7/4/7/4//15.

Pours a hazy orange / yellow color. Nice puffy head. The yeast is easily noticed by the nose. Pretty easy drink overall, I didn’t feel the 6.5% in the slightest bit.
