curly (2201) - Seattle (Newcastle), Washington, USA - NOV 29, 2009
Light golden yellow in color with thick particulate and a very fizzy big long-lating white head. Aroma is light and crisp with honey, peach, and a slight yeast spice tartness. Taste is sweet fruit, roasted malt, and some outdoor funky sourness. Head lasted about 30 minutes all the way through the beer. Very well made beer with a medium light body and lively carbonation.

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - NOV 23, 2009
An unclear yellow-orange beer with a nice head. The aroma was light fruity with peaches being more noticeable. The taste was fruity & is very light tasting & nice drinking.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - NOV 22, 2009
Pours clear yellow with some yeast happily floating around. Enormous thick lasting white head. Sweet aroma of grain, although a bit watery. sweet taste of light malts and suger. Very lively carboonation. Slightly bitter finish. Although a pretty decent blond, it lacks definition. It’s not very special, but still a very good blond.

Bottle. This was a good beer, but won’t overtake the westmalle or the chimay by any means. the aromas were muted, lots of just wet grain (not toasted or anything), no hops. the flavor had some hops, but also some mineral flavors, the balance was pretty good. It didn’t seem like 6.8% at all, i guess the sweetness was overcoming the alcohol.

Bottle from LCBO. Clear pale yellow pour with white head. Wet grain smells, no hop presence whatsoever some menthol some toast. Taste is honey, mentol, malt, a bit of alcohol. Medium carbonation delicate mouthfeel.

Muggus69 (854) - Newcastle, NSW, AUSTRALIA - NOV 5, 2009
Draught Deep honey-gold body, sizeable dense white head. Spicy aroma; clove, pepper, nmutmueg, combine with sweet malts and ripe apricot. Reasonably rich body, carbonation is quite lively with a drying texture. Quite sweet upfront, honey and pale malts, with stonefruit and banana, peppery and spicy phenolics providing balance. Quite nice overall.

McGarnigle (443) - Rochester, New York, USA - NOV 4, 2009
Bottle produced 8 287 11. Golden, slightly hay, big crackling head. Waft of fruity Belgian yeast hits the nose. Highly carbonated. Citrus fruitiness, some spice, some saltiness to me (like what I get out of Duvel). 6.8% doesn’t show (the Belgians and their sugar...). Crisp. Dry finish.
