Benzai (2684) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - MAY 16, 2012
33cl bottle @ home shared with dad. Hazy orange golden color, average sized dense off-white head. Smell lightly malts, some dried and overripe fruits. Taste malts and a light fruitpeel-bitterness with a hint of sour-fruityness or unripe fruits. Decently balanced flavours, but overall still a bit watery. Low to medium body, a bit fizzy carbonation.

onlyrocknroll (367) - Antwerp, BELGIUM - APR 3, 2011
Too two dimensional but otherwise nice. Sweet aroma of esters and lemon. The flavour is similar, with the lemon notes far to assertive, and almost unnatural seeming. Some hop balance is welcome. Over carbonated and medium bodied.

altonbrownd (3576) - Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 12, 2010
Bottle from Beer Planet. Slightly hazy golden body with quick-receding head. Nose is wheaty and quite tart. Taste is of fruits, spices and hops. Prickly texture. Citrus notes in the finish. Okay.

FreshHawk (596) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - OCT 8, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Bottle. A - Light golden orange with a slightly below average foamy, bubbly head. A bit below average retention leaving essentially no head. S - Pretty fruity, citrus and a little golden fruit aroma. A touch of spice and a fair amount of yeast as well. Fairly malty and candi sweetness. Pretty sweet all together. T - Fairly fruity flavor with citrus and golden fruit being strongest. A fair amount of spice with orange rind and clove with just a touch of coriander. Some yeast flavors as well. M - Lighter body with a little below average carbonation. A little too light and watery also a fairly fluffy body. D - A little out of balance with a bit too much fruity sweetness. Notes: Not great, but decent. A little fruity. Pretty grainy for a Belgian. A touch on the sweet side. Not great, but if the price is right, it is alright.
