Bottled. Hazy pale amber, brief head. Vague orangey nose. Sweet and medium bodied with hard mouthfeel. Simplistic somewhat papery hard crystal malt followed by, well, nothing at all.

Hazy orange color, good off-white head. Horseblanket, citrus, yeast and mango in the nose. Citrus estery, fruity sweet flavor with some yeast. American adaption of Belgian blonde., maybe they are trying to copy Orval? Good effort but not really match to its archetypes..

2007 Bottle from Eithcubes - Thanks! Poured a vibrant golden color with a light haze. Smaller white head and nice lacing. Nose is faint of maltiness and citrus. Flavor is more citrus and lemony tones. Good amount of hops and a slight cloves presence. Sweet, hoppy, and a bit off the beaten path. Nice.

Slightly hazy orange-brown color, not much head. Citrus, rye bread, horse blanket and wood in the nose. Hop juice - quite full-bodied brew. Sweetish, citrusy hoppy with pinewood and apple flavors. Long hoppy aftertaste. Fruity and solid impy IPA.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber with a smaller beige head and no lacing. Nose is yeast and fruity. Wine notes and lots of plum. Taste is fruity and winelike with a smooth malty presence. Sweet caramel tones soften the fruity and yesty notes. Not bad at all. Thanks Eithcubes.

Hazy red-amber color; creamy head. Strong aroma, extremely malty in the beginning, balanced then by the wonderful hops, fruity; a touch of vanilla too, and pine needles. Good body structure, without being thick; malty flavor turning into toffee, enough sugars; well balanced by the powerful and aromatic hopping; light hop fruitness and some hop oils. Not being too sweet, it’s also not cloying. Wonderful.

2010-08-06, bottle, vintage 2009, 1 year old, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Beautiful red-amber color; good-sized frothy head. Aroma of caramel, quite mature, and a bit metallic too. Medium body strength; it has a strong caramel flavor, sugary, a tad metallic, with tones of liquorice; the alcohol is too evident. Confused.
2007-09-29, draught at the brewpub, Clybourn location, 7-4-8-4-16=39
Hazy dark amber color. The aroma is quite fruity, malty, sweet. Very good body, good malt flavor, with a nice fruitness from the yeast. A classic strong Belgian Ale, more powerful than the Matilda, but less characteristic; warming in the end. Very good.
2007-06-23, bottled on 2006-01-23, 1 and half years old, 8-4-8-4-17=41
Hazy chestnut color; thin creamy head. Strong malty aroma; the yeast leaves fruity notes; a touch of sweet wood, maybe of Bourbon vanilla, leather, very light phenol. Full mouthfeel, full malty flavor, very sweet (but not cloying). Warming final; not bitter enough, but nice and strong malt, vanilla, sweet wood.
Sweeter than a traditional Belgian Ale, not enough hop to be a Barley Wine.
The complexity of the aroma, and the epicurean luscious malt, for a great beer.
