2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: MAR 26, 2009 Growler... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Clear yellow ale with no head. The aroma is full of esters and phenols – clove, orange peel and fuzzy fruits stand out. Full-bodied with moderate carbonation. Leans on the sweet side of balance, but there is enough bitterness to barely prevent cloying. Finishes spicy and sweet. Sort of like a less-pale wit. Nothing much wrong with it except I don’t like wits. Thanks to dchmela for providing the growler! * * Video = http://homepage.mac.com/maltajo/RATEBEER/iMovieThe

A Sim rate (on tap at Fette Sau): Belgian hops and malt in the aroma. Sweet, but not too much. Great golden colour with a nice head & lace. Hops & that Belgian aftertaste that screams "Golden ale - 8.5%". Average overall. Not great, and certainly not a patch on their sours.

Sample from Growler courtesy of egadzis (thanks for this want list beer!). Poured a lighter and clear yellow color with a small sized white head. Aromas of fruitiness, bananas, and light spices. Tastes of fruitiness, bready, citrus, and light spices. Lighter and ’refreshing’.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. A pleasant vanilla bubblegum aroma with light orange peels. In mouth, sweet restrained candy sugar with light coriander and orange peels. Medium bodied. On tap at Blind Tiger, NY, Dec. 27 2008.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Barcade. Very pale golden colour, spicy aroma, clove, black pepper and light Belgian pale malt. Slight sulphurous and minerally on the nose, but also has enough spicy hop aroma to keep it interesting. The flavour is quite spicy also, with loads of white pepper, clove, and a touch of coriander character. Texture is lean with a very light body and a kiss of bright lemon acidity. Quaffable and refreshing.
