| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 7, 2010 Bottle from Utobeer market stall. Hazy golden pour with a white head. Grassy, herbal, hoppy aromas with citrus notes. Flavours of herbs, lots of hops, bitter lemons, limes. As the blurb says this definately reminds me of an Orval with a huge hop explosion. Malty, hop laden mouthfeel. Finishes bitter and hoppy. Very nice. Archibaldo de la Cruz (447), Finland

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 30, 2010 Has a hoppy citrus smell. Pours a thick golden haze, very lively, with a thin head and some lacing. Very interesting beer. It takes a typical golden belgium ale and hops it up. Somewhat watery on the palate but plenty of flavor. I am sure the body will grow as the beer warms. The bitters are lovely, clean finish. JaBier (1501), Capital City, Ohio, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 26, 2010 "aggressively brewed" they say, well that seems to be about right. very hoppy and flowery. Very much like an IPA, but it’s a golden ale. Bit too much. zepepinho (19), Montevideo, Uruguay

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2010 Dark golden pour with nice creamy head.
Deep and bitter hops aroma, with hidden sweet and sour fruit. The double X bitter definitely makes up for it’s name, yet in a very subtle smooth way. Still a full body, nice.
