Fred82 (1997) - Québec City, Quebec, - AUG 17, 2009
On tap at Moeder Lambic, Bruxelles. Pours hazy yellow with a big white and creamy head. Great lacing appears as the foam fades out. Aroma is hoppy, malty with lots of grain. Very fresh aroma. Taste is hoppy with a small bitterness. Very fresh again. Very drinkable and nicely hopped. Very tasty brew, wonderful to have on tap.

podey (553) - New York, New York, USA - JUN 8, 2013
Draft at BXL East. Pours beautiful hazy orange/yellow with a thick white head. The aroma is bright citrusy hops and yeast. The taste is brightly bitter but clean with notes of citrus zest. Finish is bitter but bright. Pretty refreshing a drinkable with such a low ABV. Great summer beer.

callmemickey (1471) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 7, 2013
Hazy golden body, medium sized white head, spotty lacing. Belgian yeast, grain, grassy and citric hops. Medium bodied, assertive carbonation, dry finish, gentle bitterness. A classic in my house.

BitchPls (259) - FINLAND - JUN 4, 2013
Clear, golden yellow beer with a huge foamy white head. Soapy lemon on the nose. Medium body. Has lost a lot of its bitterness that I experienced before. It used to be stinging and grassy bitterness I remember yet this is quite soft and medium hopped. It used to be great but this particular bottle is old and has lost its freshness. I’m still going to give this good points however based on my memory.

11.2oz Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color, big pillowy white head with ridiculous retention. Nose is Belgiany yeast accented by some old world hops. Mouth is light and lemony, some Belgian spice, lilies and grass with hops bitterness in the background and on the back-end. Decent.
