Re-rate from 12oz bottle. This one looked a lot different! medium golden with a slight haze to it. Spices, bananas, and cloves. Absent was the dominant yeast and sulfur. I’m going to bumb this one up a little. jcwattsrugger (5583), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Aroma is herbal/pine/some perfumy, medium malt-bready. Taste is semi-dry-lemon/herbal/pine/some perfumy hops (saaz, centennial?), spice/pepper/clove, yeast, medium malt-bready. A lot going on here. Medium body. Nice American brewery doing a Belgian PA. hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 11, 2009Bottle... Mostly clear golden ale with a large, fine-bubbled, cream-colored head. Fantastic retention. Soapy, yeasty, spicy (clove phenol) aroma. Also, lesser notes of sweet orange, coriander, pear and peach... maybe pink bubblegum? Full-bodied with a whole-milk mouthfeel and bristly carbonation. Sweet and fruity up front; healthy bitterness on the backside. Lengthy, bittersweet, and then only bitter finish. Kudos to Johnykat for providing this rarity!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a frothy, well-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty semi-sweet biscuity Belgian malt with a touch of floral grassy hops. Starts with pretty good fullness and a lightly sweet pale maltiness with good light citrusy hop balance before a crisp, bittersweet finish. Very drinkable and true to style.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of hopdog. A great beer in the vein of Duvel and Mathilda. Pours caramel. Smells and tastes grassy and earthy with some sugary hints and a fair amount of spiciness. JoeMcPhee (5056), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Hazy golden pour. Slightly sweaty/goaty aroma. It’s a bit sweet and chewy. There is a light pale malt and a bit of strange sweetness. A bit of light herbal hoppiness. A touch of lemon and citrus with an earthy/peppery finish. It’s okay... sort of rustic.
