[1] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/26/2008 10:01:52 PM)
"A dark golden appearance with a large white carbonated head. The flavor contains some lemons, apricots, bananas, with quite a bit of spices. The flavor contains honey, bananas, lemons, and table sugar. A spice presence in the flavor as well. This hides the alcohol really well. The mouthfeel is slightly syrupy. Overall this was a pretty good beer. "

[3] Review by aabrewer318 from Beaverton, Oregon, Djibouti who has tried this beer once. (10/11/2007 5:09:22 AM)
"Ay! Poured golden with some floaties. The Aroma contains a bouquet of fruity esters, banana-green appleish. There's a prevelant sugary sweetness that lasts through the aftertaste....... I dont so much taste the alcohol but there's a lot of yeasty activity going on. Pale malts, yet robust, Im collecting notes of citrus and honey, grassy meadows and crusty bread.... Its filling in the stomach after awhile, warming, with a smooth luxurious mouthfeel, though the rich sweetness can be cloying"

"Bottled (as Biere du Boucanier Golden Ale). Golden colour with a nice huge creamy white head. Aroma is banana, fruits, yeast, alcohol and barnyard. Flavour is citrus, bananas, yeast, some slight barnyard. Alcohol gives a small sweetish sting. Excellently balanced beer. "

[5] Review by RedHaze from Bellevue, NE, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/3/2007 10:20:13 AM)
"Pours a hazy orange color with a thick/pillowy two finger white head that is slow to fade, and leaves tons of thick lacing down the sides of my glass.
Smell; fresh mown hay, slightly citrusy fruits, and it has a little spicy/pepper smell to it.
Taste; juicy citrus fruits upfront, a hint of bananas, bread dough, and it finished with a little of that peppery bite.The alsohol is a bit more noticeable as it warms, but it doesn't really detract from the overall enjoyment of the beer. Mouthfeel is nice and full, with a rich, smooth carbonation. This goes down way to easy for it's 11% abv. I really like this beer. I wish I had picked up more than just one of these on my trip to CA."
