1/2 mason jar draft at Bootlegger’s Tasting Room in Costa Mesa, California. The pour is a clear golden copper with a 1/4 inch head that falls quickly. The aroma is yeast esters, bit of banana and some clove. The taste is wheat grain malt with clove banana yeast, toasted bread and a lingering finish with clove yeast. The palate is medium to slightly heavier bodied with low carbonation and the yeasty finish. Solid golden Belgian.

Part of a flight at the Catalina Island brewpub in Avalon on 8th Jan 2020. Golden body, mini-haze, off-white head. Wheat like aroma and taste with a banana flavouring, sweet and a bit weird.

Had this at the 2011 Pittsburgh Ratebeer Christmas Eve Eve Tasting. Big thanks to mtoast for this sample of a beer. Cloudy, perhaps looks like a hefe. Aroma is a little like boiled viggie water mixed with wet horse. Initially I dedect a small amount of tomato in the flavor and possibly basil. Has some co2 in there but not lots. Tast eventiually morphs into a farmy thing. Fer sure is not coming across as more than 6% so I guess its hiding the alky contnet well. This brew is unique and fairly mild for a strong ale. Finish is quite refined and easy to get along with. Big thanks to Hart for the chance to try this rare beer! I found it interesting.
