| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 9, 2007 Pours a cloudy orange color with a ridiculously large frothy, foamy head in the tulip. The head looked like ice cream and had a very thick consistency. The smell was funky with a hint of bubble gum, grass, yeast and spice. Not a big fan of saisons, so this beer didn’t really do much for me. jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Bottle: Cloudy golden pour with a massive, foamy white head. Nose is abundant with spices, yeast, florals, and grassiness. Taste is a smooth blend of spices, yeast, and florals. Not bad, but sort of mild in flavor depth. tennisjoel (937), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2007 The aroma on this is killer for such a low ABV beer. Appearance is an orange yellow body with particalia and a perfect head. Actually, something really interesting that I notice is that the head is slanted. Thinner on one side and thicker on the other. Makes me wonder if the Leffe chalice sits crooked. I don’t think so, but you never know. Anyway, on to the beer. Flavor is spices with a dry tangy and signature sour finish. Detail is very good on this beer. Nothing stands out in a negative way. All of the ingredients seem to work together well. Lubiere (4480), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 A hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white head, lacing. A spiced aroma of pepper, epsom salts, wild herbs, and catnip. Strong Brett enchants you. In mouth, a refreshing lemony tart beer, with earthy notes, dry and lightly puckering. Rich and interesting. A bieropholie import. NicerInPerson (337), North of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 2, 2007 The aroma was fruity and citrusy when poured into that snazzy new Sam Adams glass. The nose was bready and contained a presence of Brett, spice and a grassy hop character to boot. Some light alcohol tickled the nose in this low ABV puppy and a sweet and fruity malt undercurrent was notable. the beer was clear and effervescent in the glass with a HUGE head that seemed to never fall from grace. The flavor was quite bitter and bready and contained a light peppery spice and a lemony tartness that was restrained and showed characteristics of Brett. The flavor also had some grassy hops, but the prominent characteristic was the spice and the light tartness. The beer was highly carbonated and left the impression of a light bodied Belgian ale with a dry finish and a lasting peppery spice characteristic long and strong into the aftertaste and beyond. Overall a highly pleasurable bottle of beer with many attributes that make it a true winner. Good job Ron! 12 ounce bottle. iwrk4dickjones (22), Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Fantastic. Orange peely and deliciously malty. Strong, perfect flavors. I could drink a LOT more of these because this is incredibly refreshing. xmarcnolanx (792), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 31, 2007 Wow, this is an interesting beer. The first thing I get is the spicy malt and brett character from the beer. The appearance is nothing special, but that aroma, with the brett and malt, and some sort of medicinal character is interesting. Taste-wise, I think I will have to have this beer again. I liked the sour but subdued characters of this beer and the malty-spicy complexity. A good beer! smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA
