durhambeer (2398) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - SEP 30, 2011
On tap at Tyler’s in Durham. Overpriced $8/10 oz pour (I ordered before I looked). Pours pale straw golden with moderate white head. Clean, grassy, slightly hoppy taste. Some grain and moderate Belgian yeast. Light and refreshing for the style. Thin palate. Very drinkable for 8%, but maybe I just needed the beer.

Sampled at the 2012 American Craft Beer Festival. The spicy yeast stood out in this. A good beer for the style.

headheldhigh (100) - Walnut, California, USA - MAR 29, 2011
22 oz bottle pours a hazy yellow brew. Good long lasting head which left some nice lacing. Aromas of tangy Belgium yeasts fruits and sweet malts. Refreshing and crisp. Nice lively mouth feel due to the carbonation.

Reynolds314 (1480) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 3, 2012
Nice golden with a highly nuianced malt profile. The flavors range from doughy, cracker, hay, spiced apple, flowers, herbs.. but its all subtle and light. Refreshing and amazing at only 8.2 abv

puzzl (3172) - New York, New York, USA - AUG 26, 2010
Spicy, yeasty aroma, caraway, slightly sweet corn aroma. Dry and crispy, light wheat, kind of vegetal, with a skunky American lager kind of finish. Not their best effort .

Derek881 (855) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - MAY 7, 2012
I sampled this beer on draft at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore, Maryland, served in a snifter glass. The beer had a somewhat-cloudy, straw-orange/yellow, with a large, bubbly white head that had very good retention and ample cling and lacing. The aroma featured crisp notes of floral, pine, and citrus hops, along with yeast and some sweet malty scents too. The beer is fairly sweet and has touches of fruity and floral effects to go with a slight citrus bitterness. Its a fairly wet beer with good carbonation, and has a lighter feel and is a touch thin.

Draft @ Barcade. Hazy blonde pour with some white head. Floral and spice aroma notes. Flavors of yeast, bread y malts and slight tart citrus. Sessionable.
