The aroma had slight soury fermented light fruit, hints of citrus and slight pine, and flowers. THe flavor was full w/ light fruit, grapes, slight citrus and flowers. The beer poured a pale yellow color w/ thin lasting head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light w/ no carbonation.

Sampled with SoCal RB guys...thanks to whomever who brought this...Huge head. Sugary, sweet, mildly fruity aroma. Interesting. Pale, mildly hazy straw color with an overly large huge white head. Mild sweetness to start with candy sugar notes. Finishes bitter and hoppy. nice body. Smooth and easy drinking. Not shabby.

Pours with a slightly cloudy pale yellow body topped by a thick, fizzy white head with some lacing. The aroma is sweet with notes of iced tea and lemon, as well as, flowery notes. Similar flavor with a little bitterness in the finish. Light bodied and smooth.

Light yellow orange color, very hazy. A HUGE freakin whitish head. Aroma is yeasty, citrusy and a touch lemony. A medium bodied Belgian Golden Ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Citrusy flavors, lemon, apricots, peaches and wheat grass. Fairly bright yeasts. Very lively carbonation, perhaps a bit to lively. The carbonation tends to get in the way of some of the flavor. Light and refreshing. Very drinkable. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
