I waffled back and forth about what I thought about this beer. First I thought it was not good, then good, then not-so-good again. No head at all after a loud popping fizzy head disappeared very quickly. Depending on the light backing it, the beer went from orange to bronze to yellow. Sweet fruits and honey dominate the smell. Yeasty strangeness attacks the tongue with a fresh fruitiness that doesn't offend or please. The mouthfeel is so weird. Bittingly crisp, leaves the tongue numb and tingly, finishes very dry. Its abv is fairly noticeable. It is just a strange beer with a strange spelling. You may think its great, or not great, or like me, not be able to tell the difference.

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).

This one of my favorite beers. Great taste and smooth! I love the flavor! When I first had it, I feel in love with it! I am happy that Publix started to carry it! I have only had in bottles. Even the bar that I discovered this greatness at only severed in bottles. If you are out with some friends, pick this brew up and have a taste!
