JaBier (3212) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - SEP 12, 2010
Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, malt, banana and pepper. Banana dominates the flavor, which also consists of sweet malt and honey.

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2010 Sample at the Beer ’N Rock Band tasting on 08/27/2010: 2009 bottle. The beer is a clear golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Sweet biscuity malt and yeast aroma. Light body with flavors of yeast, bananas and malt. The finish is malt and yeast with a sweet aftertaste. A little above average overall.

TheBeerOrg (2021) - Crestwood, Kentucky, USA - MAR 5, 2010
Pours golden with a fully receding white head. Notes of pear, bubble gum, honey, and pale malt. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. An enjoyable beer, despite the poor head retention.

riversideAK (4553) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - DEC 1, 2009
This one seemed to be a little on the belgian ale side and less towards golden/blonde ale, but whatever. Nose was light with hints of grain, bread, dust, and a hint of yeast notes. Pours golden with a thin non lasting head and noticeable bubbles. Light grain, bread, dust, a touch of sweetness underneath, very light yeast esters. A little crispnes/drynesss in the finish, a hint of green apple perhaps too. A little Very easy drinking.

   AROMA 4/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 5/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 9/20
thedm (4124) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 22, 2009
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of finely sized clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent very softly carbonated light orange colored body. The mild aroma was malty and corn. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish. The flavor contained notes of hops dough and wheat. An OK brew just nothing special.
