Tasted 4/27/08. 6oz samle from the brewpub. Hazy with a golden hue. White layer of head. Melon and apricot fruity aromas. Grainy and crisp. Smooth with a nice yeasty fruity berry chalky undertone. Mild bitterness. Touch alcohol. Solid BdeG style!

Jun 6, 2008 In short: A tired Strong Blonde ale of some kind
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Partly cloudy blonde body
In long: Citrusy honey. Some extra-old bananas. Complete lack of crispness the mouthfeel was moshy. Lifeless carbonation. Rather flavourless and lacking a freshness sensation. To the contrary I felt like a was drinking a past-due-date beer that had lost most of its intended flavours. I hope there was something wrong with this batch. A very week effort, this is one Maillot Jaune that is not on steroids.

May 6, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark gold with a white head. The aroma was sweaty with some pears and flowers. The taste was funky light bread crust with some sweet pancakes. However, this is overall a little bland.

May 5, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Slight hazy amber with small white head that has a picture of the Americas in it (+1, JK). Yeasty aroma with some spie and caramel. Flavor is earthy/grassy with yeast and spice with medium alc notes, instyle. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Instyle.

May 3, 2008 On tap at The Livery. I was guessing this was the style when sampling, due to the name. Not too familiar with the style. Aroma of bread, miscellaneous fruit, flowers and earth. Flavor was similar with a good amount of musty and herbal elements. Not much hopping as expected. Just ok for me.
