    On Tap @ San Diego Brewing Company. Clear gold color with bright white head. Sweet lager aroma with a bit of banana. Almost a sweet lager taste except for a bit of spice. Ends kind of sweet.

    This is a pretty inexpensive Belgy. $1.50 at the Vintage Estates in Boardman. Just as cheap as Rare Voss. Alkaline hints support a unique session. Looks like any other american pale lager. The foam is a little more thick with fine bubbles. The palate carbonation is creamy above average fine tingliness. Building bitterness on the back of the throat ans sides of the palate but not very intense. Not quite as good as Ommegang Rare Vos but on par with Zot and Lagunitas #10 (formerly #9)

    33cl bottle at Glød. Pours golden with a nice off-white head. Very fruity aroma with banana, Belgian yeast and malt. Sweet and fruity and very pleasant. Almost to sweet for me, but still a nice Belgian ale. (2012-07-30)

    Bottle: Poured a golden color with white head. The aroma is sweet fruit and malt. Taste is very acidic with fruit. This beer missed the mark for me as far as Belgian Ales go.

    Golden amber with thick long lasting white creamy head. Sweet grassy hoppy aroma. Rich sweet malt flavor.

Light toasty malt flavors, citusy notes coming through also as well the yeastyness . Finish is dry, crisp, spritzy. Alcohol is well hidden.

    Beer pours a pale gold, slight cloudiness, and topped with a weak snow white film. Fresh bread, citrus, yeast, and light spices. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. The flavor is yeasty and citrusy.

    If this beer was black it would get a ten for appearance, maybe. Yeast and spice aroma. Medium mouthfeel. Flavour of yeast, banana, spices, bread and lemon. Bit sweet to start, bit tart in the finish.

    Purchased at Liquor Control Board of Ontario store. A cloudy golden pour with a generous white head. Aroma is yeast, light citrus, spices, and grains. Flavour is a tad sweet to start, which gives away to tart citrus notes, before a bitter finish.
