| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | May 14, 2009 33cl bottle at home: Hazy orange-gold with a massive bubbly and fading yellowed head. Big fresh green apples and soft pears with pale malts. Touch of tartness helps to cut back on a bit of the overall sweetness. Citrus peel and yeast notes also help break up some of the sugar. Lightly spicy yeast with some floral and almost (but not quite) banana tendencies. Flavor is also sweet but less sugary than the aroma. Spice is played up more and blends into a somewhat bitter green or vegetal. Slick up front but thins out and dries out as it rolls backwards down your tongue. CO2 is quite punchy and tends to drive in that vegetal (which wants to be hops, but is more like dried green leaves). Also the citrus notes go from zest in the aroma to bitter white pith in the flavor. It means well, but hasn’t quite figured things out yet. LilBeerDoctor (1549), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2009 33 cL bottle. Pours a cloudy light golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet fruits (apple, pear, melon), corn malt, and a touch of skunk. Flavor is spices upfront, with a sweet, fruity, malty finish. Light and crisp, quite pleasant. Very nice!

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 3, 2009 Bottle, 33cl, "Tournay" in orange lettering on black, "Traditional Belgian Beer." Aroma big on the pepper and clove with a great deal of lemon zest and other citrusy character, and strong biscuit malt, floral hops. Flavor much the same with a slightly resinous (more pollen-like) character, and again particularly lemony and zesty. Superbly crisp and refreshing. Great stuff. MoritzF (5130), Bochum, Germany
