A Belgian-style strong golden ale with a wondrous range of fruit flavors like plum, apricot, and cherry imparted by special Belgian yeast. Traditionally served in special goblets this style of beer can turn an ordinary lunch into an extraordinary event and a slow Sunday afternoon into a special Golden Sabbath.

Hawaiian Belgian strong golden ale with honey. Very belgiany and very honey'ish indeed. Proper sweet, lots of honey. Quite boozy, especially considering the ABV, plenty of flavour, but a bit thin body. Not my style, but not bad.

22 oz bottle poured, gifted by Tcon. Thanks! Interesting style and unexpected to get as a gift picked up in Hawaii. A semi clean, oily golden orange pour. Thin, lasting head. Tons of yeast here, as expected, but not quite to this level. Has a dark fruit character, which pairs well with tropical underneath, and honey sweetness.plum, honey, Belgian yeast, but smooth and easy drinking for this strong.

Bomber. Orange-gld, almost clear, with lace. Spicy nose, honey, oranges, nice Belgian yeast. Sweet malty flavor, spicy and peppery. Fully, silky body. Honey comes through. Very interesting spicy, peppery finish that appears to be only from the yeast.

Dark golden nearly orange. White head. Toffee malt, fruit, yeast notes, light spice, a hint of banana. Not put together very well. Needs work.
