Pours a clear golden orange with a sudsy white head. Aroma is malty, very sweet with some fruity champaign hints, some good citrus notes as well. Taste is fruity, berries, bitter oranges and grapefruit.

A solid Belgian Strong pale Ale, but it lacks the smoothness some of the better ones have and the taste just sorta blend in with some of the other ones I have had, nothing really unique.

Purchased for $7.99. Bottled on January 10, 2013. Poured into a small wine glass.

An excellent beer. Comparable to Duvel. Do the blind taste and report back.

S – Spicy, lightly peppery, some pear.

T – Crisp, yeasty, dry, some bitterness.

MF – Light body, sharp mouth feel from good carbonation, with a slight smoothness/creaminess.

A: In my Firewheel tulip, it pours a rich, two-finger head above a clear golden hue. The color is really quite nice, and the lacing is thick and aggressive.

S: As the bottle suggests, I hint some cinnamon and apricot alongside some banana-yeast notes. There's some light citrus here, too--lemon, perhaps?

T: Up front, the flavor's a bit bland, especially in relation to the nose. However, it follows through with candied bananas and some spice--it's subtle, but there may be some all-spice there.

M: It's slightly heavy-bodied, but really this is deceptively light in mouthfeel.

O: This is pretty solid, and for $8, this is a decent buy. I'll get it again for buddies who are entering the Belgian realm.
