Sweet and spicy with a mild floral aroma and finish. Maintains a head and stronger than it tastes on the way down. Not the ideal choice with pizza but sometimes you gotta play the hand you're dealt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 oz bottle from "Trader Joe" in Salem OR $2.25 Cloudy deep golden ale with a large thick and small bubbled white head. Very nice banana,phenol,yeast and bubblegum aromas. Taste similar to the aroma, but with a nice bitterness., dry and bubbly nice Good palate..very dry, alcohol warmth but its pleasing. Nice beer..i havent liked Unibroue before but this is good.

12 oz bottle into a Duvel tulip. A: Pours a mildly hazy golden-orange color. The head is a foamy four-finger white shade. It has an amazingly fluffy texture, but very little lacing. S: There are a lot of typical notes I expect of a good BSPA (such as apple, pear, and candied sugar.) But I love how the wheat gives it an unbelievable smoothness to it. Grassy and funky qualities helps provide some rock-solid depth to it. T: The first thing I note is Unibroue’s typical yeast profile - which I can never fully discern on the tongue, however I can note that it provides a grassy, sweet, yet vaguely salty opening. The faint candied sweetness bleeds into the midtaste, before a finish of wheat and even some mild hops envelop the tongue. It’s deep ’enough’ to be interesting, yet simple enough to go down easily. After all, isn’t that what you want from a tripel/BSPA? M: The lush, creamy softness at first sip turns into a vaguely dry astringency on the back end, but ultimately it’s fairly sweet and syrupy - this quality also seems to conceal the carbonation slightly. There isn’t any trace of alcoholic qualities on the feel or flavor; you could even say it drinks like it’s 6%. O: It’s a bit like La Fin Du Monde, but with wheat. Enough said, really.

Bottle. Fruity banana-peach, yeasty wheat, and spice aroma. Cloudy honey gold with a moderate white head. Flavor follows the nose - banana-peach, wheat, and spicy Belgian yeast. Medium body, lively carbonation. Alcohol very well hidden.

BlackIPA (720) - Rochester, New York, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Pours a dehydrated urine color with a pretty white head. Strong aromas of clove, white pepper, spices. Wheat. Pretty freaking spicy. Taste is similar - spicy yet dry, with a lingering spicy aftertaste. Wowza... Too much spice for my tastes.

Hazy orange gold with white head. Aroma of dank yeast and banana. Taste is sweet banana and wheat with a champagne feel on the tongue.

Gription79 (1604) - Bountiful, Utah, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Poured from 12 ounce bottle. The aroma is fruity, caramel, sour milk. The flavor is fruity, apple, caramel, cardboard. This bottle must be oxidized. I will have to re-rate this beer.
