Bottle shared by Dmac after some crazy contest win by him. Pours out a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma is of sweet sugary fruits, light yeast, wet cardboard, mild honey. Taste is sweet, spice, cardboard, mild alcohol, rotted apples, some mild alcohol lingering in there.

750ml bottle thanks to BlackIPA for running his Whopper and Lambic contest back in January. Poured a syrupy gold body with little carbonation and a smaller white head. Aroma is rather sweet, lots of honey and some flower notes, old pear, some green apple, Belgian yeast. Body is fuller and syrupy that coats your mouth and softer carbonation. Flavor is similar to the aroma with notes of wood, yeast, honey, green apple, pear, earth. Not great but it isn’t "garbage" like the label proclaims.

750 ml bottle poured a hazy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of biscuit, fruittiness, white pepper and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of biscuit, fruittiness, light white pepper and light earthiness with a smooth dry lingering fruity finish.

Bottle thanks to phaleslu. Thanks Peter! Pours clear golden with no head. Aroma is honey, grapes, sugar and malts. Flavor sweet malts, grapes, pears, hints of booze and apples. Has a nice sweet finish.

750 ml bottle from TheBeerSommelier- thanks, Matt! Bottle 1542/2157. Pours a rich, clear golden color with a small white ring for a head and some small bubbles on the surface. Aroma of grapes, honey, sweet and biscuity malts, candi sugar, graham crackers, and pears. Flavor of sweet malts, candi sugar, apple juice, grape juice, and Frosted Flakes. Medium-full bodied, with low carbonation and a sweet, chewy, juicy mouthfeel. A little fruity and sweet for my tastes. Still pretty good and interesting.

750 mL bottle courtesy of Nate at the 14th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 3/19/11, or as some call him... NastyNate. Bottle 105/2157. Pours a clear vibrant copper color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of leafy hops, citrus, toffee, berries, apricots. Very fruity. The taste is spicy hops, tart fruits, strawberries, apricot, citrus, leafy notes, burnt sugar, toffee, coconut and a bit of booze. Medium-full bodied, chewy mouthfeel. Damn good beer. This rocks my world.

Pours a medium yellow, slight haze, good white foam that dies down to sticky lacing .. . reminds me of an imperial saison, pepper, honey .. . light muddled mouth, a nice brew but not worthy of its rareness, still honored to have tried it with friends though.. .. Me fail English? That’s unpossible.

Bottle shared by someone at a private tasting. Pours a clear orange with a nice, white head. Nose is of stinky feet or funk and straw. Taste was sweet with hay and spice. Mouthfeel is medium and dry.

Tasted from a 750 ml. bottle at the Bruery. Golden copper in color with a small head. Aromas of yeast and bread. Good solid straight ahead flavors of a belgian golden ale. Some fruit flavors in the background. Full bodied beer and finishes rich on the finish. Stoked to try it.

Usuall when our US bredren do Belgian I like it. This hit high marks for me. Bottle thanks to mesandsim’s tasting again. Damn that was some tasting. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet malt aroma, alcohol is quite noticeable, cardboard. Flavour is sweet and yeasty, marmalade, oats. Palate was quite rich. First beer I’ve had from this brewer I think, good work fellas.
