Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, clove, floral hops, and seemingly tons of other phenols, with some toast, and caramel as well. Taste of caramel, more spices, dried fruits, moderate hops, and a fair amount of alcohol in the finish.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Greg Koch at our stop at the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens on 08/03/2008 on day three of RBSG 2008. Clear golden body with a small white head. Big belgian spice aroma and fairly hoppy. Light belgian spice flavor with some light hop presence. Light body with mdoerate carbonation.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle... RBSG ‘08... Clear golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma releases fresh, spicy hops along with all the appropriate Belgian yeast esters and phenols that I just don’t like... banana, smoke, clove, etc. Full-bodied and oily with humble carbonation. Malty and sweet up front; well-bittered, fruity and spicy on the backside. Lengthy, spicy, astringent finish. Kudos to Greg Koch for popping the top on this one !

Aug 5, 2008 Nice head atop supler clear filtered bronze. The nose was quite yeasty and bready with banana characteristics. Flavors were yeasty as well with spicy banana-bread notes.

Jul 6, 2008 Pours with a crystal clear amber-gold body topped by a medium thick, white head with a good amount of lacing. It’s spicy and hoppy with noted of grass, an underlying malty sweetness and some alcohol esters. Medium to full bodied and hot.
