Clear yellow orange. Smell is hoppy and freshly cut grass and apples and perhaps a little funk in there too. Flavor is bubbly duty funk and bread and sweet tart water (very strange combination -- I know). Highly carbonated. Dry finish. Not bad but not great.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to hopdog. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick and creamy white head. The aroma is mostly yeast and banana. The taste was very smooth and full; I love the palate of this beer, some banana, cloves, yeast, a touch of pepper and some wheat. Quite nice.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Orange color with a thicker whitish head. Aroma is bright and fruit filled - orange, lemon, coriander, and assorted spices. Flavor has some nice citrus hops, belgian yeast, and a unique farmhouse-ish/candy malts. Really nice flavor until a strange aftertaste creeps in at the end. Pleasant and tangy mouthfeel. I like it, but for the per bottle price, I might as well get a real Belgian pale ale. I do hope they put this one in the regular rotation!

Jul 5, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear orange with a spongy off-white head. Nose is yeast, marmalade, bubblegum and spice. Crisp body with a light sparkle. Taste is pineapple and melon, banana and bubblegum, with a dry, sourdough finish. A fine Belgian styled offering.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle courtesy of hopdog. Pours a murky amber with 2 finger cream colored head and spotty lacing. Nose is sour funk, yeast, banana peels and cloves. Taste is similar with some hops thrown in and a sweet, slightly metallic finish. Medium, very lively carbonated mouth feel. Seems more alcoholic than the ABV indicates. Good beer – thanks Steve!
