3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Solid golden orange with a loose off white foam and light spotty lacing. The alcohol is apparent in the aroma, along with a nice fruitiness, bready and spicy. The taste is big fruitiness up front, bready sweet malt, apples, banana, pineapple, then the spiciness combines with the alcohol for a bit in the finish. Then a pleasant alcohol warmth builds up from the stomach back into the throat.

I shared this with MereLikesBeer. Delicious stuff we’ve got here. Poures a straw yellow, with small offwhite head. Very fruity like, but with an epic mouthfeel. Very good Belgian Ale. Cheers!

I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617. I thought it was a pretty good Belgian. It poured a clear yellow with a quickly dissipating white head. It smelled like a Belgian, yeasty with banana undertones. It tasted quite fruity, light and refreshing. Not too bubblegummy :) I like this, but not as much as golden Drakk...

Growler from Bellport Beer. Pours deep, golden, cloudy, with a thin, lasting head. Alcohol is well hidden behind the sweet malty flavor. Lots of stuff in there, but I’m not that great at picking it all up. Light fruit flavors, and an excellent aroma.
This one is a winner!

Bomber. Pour bright and promising shiny gold with lots of foamy head to spare, and boy does the foam last... Aroma is all spices, hops, and malt. Perhaps some yeast too, but I’m caught up in the spice and hops. Flavor is a big fruit and bran muffin, but the muffin dough was infused with rum! It’s an alcohol attack. Unlike for other raters, however, the penultimate burn of booze doesn’t ruin this ale for me. I like the punch. Besides, it settles at the end for a nice semi-bitter beer finish. It’s good enough for me on a Friday night. Not sublte, not refined, just good.
