Dec 24, 2007 Bottle. Batch # 25. Pours a hazy, golden orange. Huge, creamy white head that lasted. Aroma is citrus and a touch of hops. Flavor is sweet, almost champagne like, orange / citrus notes, malt. Very soft and mellow on the palate, again, very champagne like.

Dec 19, 2007 750ml bottle from Bevmo. Beer poured a hazy, light golden color. Head was big, fizzy and white. Aroma of banana, citrus fruits and yeast. On the palet I felt it was a bit doughy, very clean and refreshing. A great beer from the folks up @ Russian River.

Dec 12, 2007 750 Ml Bottle-Trade w/Snojerk321-Pours a cloudy golden color w/a moderate white foamy head. Classic Belgian aroma. Full Belgian flavor w/traces of cane sugar, banana, & bread dough. Had some hop bitterness to it, but not a lot of spice. Very fresh, good effervescence. Kind of jumps out at you. Long, smooth, finish. Easy drinking brew. Thanks for this one Torry!

Nov 28, 2007 Courtesy of moejuck, thanks! Batch 011, 750ml bottle. Golden orange/yellow body. Topped by a very sudsy, extremely long lasting snow white head. Excellent lacing when it finally does recede. Nose is very fruity, bananas, oranges and the like, funky yeast, Brettanomyces and candied sugars. Maybe some hops there, but if so they are outdone and hidden by the other wonderful aromas. First sip reminds me of a Saison, funky Brett and yeast, along with bananas and apples. Only really missing a noticeable spice. Continuing on, floral hops present themselves in the background, just loud enough to be heard. Also do finally get some spice, along with aggressive yeasty notes at the back end of the beer. Medium carbonation, coats the tongue and mouth. Finish is funky, fruity, full of yeast and sugars. Very nice beer, I need more Russian River!

Nov 24, 2007 Updated: Jan 12, 2009muted brett aroma, grains of paradise, pretty good. really mild flavor, understated, you don’t even know. not much to say. rerate: draft at monk’s in philly. wow, i’m surprised i’ve never had this before. pours golden orange with nice lacing. clear. smells a bit of change. lightly of yeasty bready toffee. tastes really really good. very honeyish without being saccharine or heavy. definitely some classic duvel/RR funk on the front side. this is way better than duvel though. tastes great.
