.5 liter ceramic bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Best by 9/11/11. Poured a pale gold with little to no head. Little carbonation. Sugar and a little clove in the nose. Slightly spicy flavor, medium body. Candy sugar sweetness. A little yeasty in the finish. Some alcohol warmth. Pretty bland for a Belgian beer.

Share by HomeBrewHawk. Pours hazy golden with some white head. Aromas of apples and honey. A bit grassy with light sugar. Pear and honey in the flavor. A little grassy and minty. Fuller body. Not much carbonation. Balanced finish. Good, but not memorable.

Thanks to HomeBrewHawk for bringing this over. Pils malt, spicy aroma, alcohol, light fruit (apple). Soft mouthfeel, big bodied. Taste is light pils, pepper, light fruit, and light alcohol. Tasty, but a little bland.

Bottled. Poured vibrant fiery golden with a thick initial cap of white head and plenty of rising carbonation. The aroma opened with lemon and grassy notes followed by syrupy light fruit and honey sweetness.. sweet and gripping, but perhaps overly aggressive with the chosen malts to bring you in.. overtones of spicy clove and banana-ey notes. The flavor was sweet and strong with pale malts and banana surrounded by dusty banana and spicy esters.. almost a malt likka feel on the palate with honey and almost corny notes. Medium-bodied with creamy, higher carbonation on the palate.. nice lemony tartness on the front end, but a bit rough with the alcohol heat and only OK maltage on the back.. very warm finish. I wanted this to be better.

Clear golden amber body with a larfe frothy white head that persists. Caramel, fruity malts, spice, and light yeasty aroma. Very yeasty and caramelized flavor, slight stale hops, light candi sugar and some slight honey. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Thanks for sharing Jerel! Hazy yellow brown with a loose white head. Fruity alcohol, light Belgian esters. Some past prime hops. Low carbonation, thinner. Fruity alcohol, low hops. Belgian esters. Dry after a light fruity sweetness. Not bad, but nothing too exciting.

Golden blond color with fizzy off white head. Bread, citrus, and spice on the nose. Alcohol was well masked. Lots of spice and fruit in this beer
