Oct 26, 2008 Golden colored with decent spread of foam. Sweet, piquant pepper, and light yeast notes initially waft from the glass followed by light grainy malt. Flavor is rather unimpressive, but easy drinking. Herbal, light lemony character with a touch of hot pepper spice. Carbonated and lively body that pricks the tongue. Sprightly. A solid spring-time brew.

Oct 25, 2008 A golden ale with a thick white head. A rather sweet floral aroma, with strong phenolics and bananas. In mouth, a sweet fruity sugar taste with buttery mouthfeel. Medium bodied. A bit dissapointed about this one. Bottle at Kaffee de Hopduvel, Gent, Nov. 2006.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottle from Phil_l, via Beer Merchants. Thanks Phil! Pours pale copper with a lot of white foam that quickly settles away. Dry banana aroma with a pinch of salt, nice subtle green grass hops. Pleasant and understated tropical fruit esters (mango, banana), peppery carbonation, a little herbal bitterness. Nice easy-going beer, full of happy.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle at Lord Rodney, Keighley. Refreshing with an instant burst of lemon that stays with the finish. Fresh, early-morning aroma. Very easy drinking. Good stuff.

Oct 5, 2008 Cask at the New Oxford in Salford, near Manchester, Belgian Beer Festival. Cloudy dark browny gold. Notes are rubbish as I was very drunk by this time. I liked it though, needs a re-rate.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours a dirty straw/gold color, cloudy with a an initially large fizzy white head, but it fades fairly quick. Aroma is quintessentially "Belgian ale" to me. Hay, lemon, dirt, grass, coriander, it’s got some things in common with wits and saisons, but it’s not as peculiar as either. Flavor is similar with dirt, grass, earth, old citrus, and slighty spicy yeast. Finishes with bread, lemon and lingering yeast pungency. Thin and fizzy mouthfeel. It’s pretty decent, almost like a maltier pilsner brewed with Belgian yeast. Maybe that’s exactly what this is...

Sep 4, 2008 750 ml 2007 bottle split in Duvel glass. clear golden with lasting white head and lace. Enticing and assertive spicy yeasty zesty floral aroma. Very mild honey sweetness with with apricot/cantaloupe fruitiness and spicy dry finish with a little carbo bite and some wateriness. Quaffable, almost to a fault. The flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. But still, very good. I could drink this all night.
