Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish.
Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

"A murky yellow apperance with a fading white head. The aroma is vanilla, lemons, and a bit of perfume. The flavor is sour with some lemons, hay, and a slight spice presence. Overall ok but nothing to get excited about. "

[2] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/3/2007 12:17:08 AM)
"Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a very light, white head. Aroma of apricot and banana. Nice mouthfeel. Flavor is consistant with many Belgians. Flavor is also apricot-like with a nice yeast finish to it. Not really what I expected, yet a tasty offering from New Glarus."

[3] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/27/2007 11:29:23 AM)
"Bottle courtesy of Plucier: Poured a golden color ale with a small bubbly white head with little retention. Aroma of light malt with some very subtle spices is blander then expected. Taste is a mix between some dry malt with some light spices and very little yeast in the finish. Body is about average with some medium to low carbonation. This is definitely not one of the most interesting offering from this brewer."

[4] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/18/2007 9:29:32 PM)
"Sampled from bottle, a gift from amatuerbeerguy. Pours gold with a faint haze and a thin, yet lasting white head. Its aroma is banana, pepper, hard candy and flowers. Balanced and clean with some candi sugar and tripel yeast esters. Medium-bodied and easy to drink. Good stuff."

[5] Review by Hannah from OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/18/2007 9:18:54 PM)
"Pours cloudy golden with tall, airy head. Smells spicy with strong citrus notes, orange in particular. Rich with malt yet crisp with floral-spiciness; the flavor is akin to a weak trippel. Citrus flavors lend a refreshing quality to the medium bodied beer. Well carbonated and easy to drink (I'm assuming it's somewhat strong because of the style.)"
