MuttyD (41), Cambridge, USA Jul 25, 2008 Yellow/amber color. Fruity, yeasty and floral aroma. Flavor is well balanced between malt sweetness (honey, fruits, sugar), hop bitterness, and spice. Bitter finish. bhensonb (2735), Woodland, California, USA Jul 9, 2008 Bottle from Bottle Trek. Hazy apricot color with a decent white head. Aromas of pale stone fruit, yeast, candi and perhaps malt. Medium body with slightly fizzy carbonation. Flavor is spice, wood, pale fruit, malt, trace of funk. Finish is quite dry with herbs/wood/funk for a little extra bitter. Worth taking time to appreciate. note666 (160), Eindhoven, Netherlands Jun 22, 2008 330 ml bottle. big, fading, white head. hazy yellow golden colour. spicey bitter taste. alcohol present. SoLan (1166), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 24, 2008 Lightly hazy gold/orange. Small white head. Nose of sweet malt, candi sugar, light colored fruits, and a subtle spicy twang. Flavor is balanced by estery yeast and earthy, grassy, bitter hops. Also some bready malt. Dry, airy, lightly bitter finish. Medium to medium/full body, well carbonated, yet soft. Very drinkable. Excellent strong blond. Ughsmash (2835), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Apr 6, 2008 Bottled, BB 10/06. Gushed a bit out of the bottle, but settled nicely into the glass.. slightly hazy medium golden with a short, creamy cap of white head. The aroma was musty and spicy with coriander and a dry, pale Belgian feel to it.. some dusty fruit beneath. The flavor had a slightly stale complexion to it with pale malt and caramel sweetness at the core.. spicy yeast on the edges with a dry, spicy finish. Medium-bodied and decently balanced.. hid the alcohol well. Solid brew.
