| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Whitish-yellow colour. Rich lemony, coriandery aroma. Moderate body, with just a hint of sweetness, some lemon and light spice. Decent, fairly refreshing example. argo0 (6891), Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2004 Small white head atop a hazy apple juice body. Aroma is zesty, medium sweet, orange peel, coriander, light wheat. Taste is medium sweet, orange, some coriander, light lemon. Watery light body, some crispness, slight creaminess. Pleasant and refreshing summery beer. Rastacouere (5553), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2005 Very nice white head covers a light golden hue with plenty of carbonation. Great wit nose with plenty of grainy coriander, orange peel, herbal and very seedy flavours. Smooth and fresh aromatics keep on the palate, which is rather sweet at most and literally runs at you with a blast of paradise grains and cereal flavours, but it quickly empties its ammunitions and leave you with a duller lemony citrus character and a faint almost smoky finish, but the global complexity never comes close to that of the nose. Sharp palate with almost aggressive carbonation. hopdog (5552), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 17, 2005 Poured a lightly hazy, medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of spices (coriander), orange peels and fruits. Light tastes of the same (smells are stronger than the tastes). Thin body. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 25, 2008 (22oz bottle, labeled Symphony Diamond Ale) Pours a lightly hazy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander, and light lemon. Flavor of wheat, orange peel, coriander, and grass. CaptainCougar (5414), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2002 Definite spicy aroma. Taste was more lemony than orange. A bit too acidic for the syle, but the coriander is blended well and the body has a great golden cloudiness. MartinT (5050), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 6, 2005 The Lure: A thick head hangs on the spicy hops and crisp wheat. Well-balanced, delicately presented, these orange peels and citrusy fruitiness convince a big swig.
The Festivities: Again, a surprising spicy hop touch on the plentiful wheat. Sweet and citrusy spices are subdued in a bulky body for the style. Dry in the end, and ultimately a flavorful quencher.
Transcendence: Vibrant estival moments refresh the mind, in whatever form they take.
