| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Great. We have little question marks to press so we don’t have to actually form our own opinions now. Makes it easier to review: Hay, basement aromas, earthy, golden, hazy, frothy, light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, medium body, average carbonation. I thought this tasted more like a Saison. Belgian Ale seems so generic. Average, not something I’ll probably look for again. mabel (2590), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, medium orange body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head. Flavour has a bit of sweet oatmeal and heavy bread yeast with a bit of banana in the finish. Light-medium body. Nice on tap, fresh.
