22 ounce bottle into signature teku glass, 2012 bottling. Pours hazy golden orange color with a fairly dense 1 finger white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of big orange, peach, pear, apple, pineapple, orange zest, floral, grass, candi sugar, honey, clove, light pepper, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy notes. Taste of orange, peach, pineapple, pear, apple, floral, clove, honey, candi sugar, light pepper, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of orange, peach, pineapple, pear, apple, floral, clove, honey, candi sugar, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity of fruity ester flavors; good balance of malt and light spicy esters; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly slick and slightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent and unique Belgian strong pale ale. All around nice complexity and balance of fruity flavors with malt and light spicy esters; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Bomber bottle and served in Unibroue tulip: Pours a clean golden hue with a lasting medium sized head and good lace. Plenty of Belgium yeastie character on the nose with clove, banana, earthiness along with some tropical notes and mineral. A bit of off-putting "urinal cake" aroma as well. The taste is sweet malt and yeast with moderate bitterness and fruity components. The mouth feel is lively yet soft, a touch dry on the finish with slight alcohol noticed. Overall it is drinkable but there are many better Belgian Golden Ales out there.

This one poured a bright darker yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of candy sugar, belgian esters, light 3 floyd esque hops and some citrus peel. Flavor was definitely on ther sweeter belgian side than hoppy side, but still well icorporated, refreshing, and light for the ABV. I would buy this again.

Poured from a 22 ounce bomber, thanks to Doug. Notes that are fruity, floral, citrus, yeasty, slight mint. A solid beer.
