| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Draught @ 9th Belgian Beer Weekend, Brussels.

Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (020907) MartinT (5050), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 30, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Honeyed fruitiness seeps from the simple maltiness, as doughy yeast offers subtle plantanes to balance out a supporting hop bitterness. This Belgian Ale doesn’t carry enough substance to keep me entertained for more than a glass, but I cannot say it is severely flawed.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam lingers atop the pale golden, full of floaties.
-The finish is dry and somewhat mineral; simple and crisp.
-Carbonation is fluffy and expansive.
-Alcohol is tasted at 6%?!?
-The body is lean and made for sessions.
-A soft spiciness develops into furtive citrus fruit.
Bottle; best before July 2009. swoopjones (1897), Buffalo, New York, USA
