2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 5/15/12, Rating #2200
Aroma: It has a rather weak aroma of grains/bread, malts, and spice
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange color with a thin white head and light lace
Flavor: Very similar, but more pronounced then the nose, malty, light-medium sweet, minimal bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium and it feels decent, though a touch watery, with avg-to-lively carbonation
Overall Impression:
This one wasn’t my favorite. The nose is a little dull, and the flavor, though better, isn’t anything to write home about either. The pour is pretty nice and this beer is drinkable enough, but I didn’t find anything standout about it.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle from Hayduke. Enjoyed together via facebook chat on Ron’s birthday. The pours a darker golden and is clear. Decent carbonation visible. An off white head is kind of funky and soapy. During the pour I smelled Saaz hops along with malt, honey, and grain. The feel is lively and fairly rich. Fruit was tasted first and then honey. Hops stayed in the background and added complexity. Later the beer became more malty. This was nice.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Golden straw, thin white foamy head, spotty lacing, lively carbonation. Bright barnish
nose. Whafts of powdered sugar. Funky grassiness on the tongue. Dry powdery sweetness. Thin
to moderate body and mouthfeel. Finishes quick. Barnish oat like flavors linger. Tiz okay,
certainly seems like a Belgian Blonde.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden color with a small dense white head. Sweet aroma with a little bit of tartness and a hint of yeast. Dry hoppy character with a bisquity malty flavor and hint of yeast and fruity sweetness. Fresh and crisp. Medium bodied with light prickly carbonation.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from State Line Liquors. It pours a crystal clear gold color with a small, thin, white head. The bubbles look a little large and the beer is a little too clear to be a Belgian. The nose is doughy and sweet. The flavor is very sweet with notes of apple juice, a bit of dough, and slight florals. Not very impressive. Flat on the tongue, no depth of flavor, and a short finish. Tastes like an unhopped, under attenuated pils. Not impressed.
