On tap at the George St Alehouse in New Brunswick. Arrives in a pint glass with a half finger of foam. Extremely cloudy, almost milky - not very appealing. Aroma is yeasty, banana, slightly phenolic.

First sip is again dominated by yeasty, spicy flavors. Banana and phenols are the primary flavors. It certainly resembles a Belgian pale ale, but I prefer mine with some more hop flavor, and a nice malty sweetness. This one just tastes like yeast to me. Not my personal preference.

Serving type: on-tap

Wow! This one blew me away. I was expecting a good ale based on the reviews, but wow! Fruit and honey notes. Strong alcohol at 7.8% and a nice feeling afterward. Belgian Ales are my favorite and I like finding an American beer that is up there with Chimay and Duvel (which are of course, gifts from God).
