alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Feb 28, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear golden color with medium sized off white head. The aroma was fresh fruity orange citrus, grassy with mild sweetness. The flavor had a mild Belgian character and fruity up front with the finish being drier and more bitter. Lighter and smooth, this is decent but not the best by this brewery. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Feb 24, 2009 Special thanks to Beerlando for providing this and Saints Devotion side by side for comparison. The aroma was sweet with vanilla, white wine and grapefruit. Flavor is very bitter, with even more bitterness coming in the finish. MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 24, 2009 Thanks to Hophead22 for the bottle! Transparent gold, fluffy white head. Sweey cookie nose, some grape and minor citrus and spice to go along with the yeast. Flavor is similarly fruit and sweet, yet there’s a ting of sharp, biting bitterness running through, caustic and unpleasant. Moderate palate. Can’t say it’s easy to drink, laid back, or harmonious, given that bitter note, and I think that’s a big draw back for a Belgian Ale. IEBAILI (123), San Diego, California, USA Feb 21, 2009 Smells sweet, lightly caramel, bready, fruity. Tastes of vibrant fruit, citrus, apricot, moderate hop bitterness, mildly spicy, very subtle banana, super refreshing, light medium body, great lasting finish of citrus and green hops. Nice example of hops contributing significantly to a beer without dominating it. Could drink it all day. Similar to RR Damnation but a bit lighter and crisper. smith4498 (822), Miami, Florida, USA Feb 19, 2009 Bottle shared by Beerlando. Pours cloudy gold/orange color with off white head. Light fruity aroma with some grassy hops. Sweet fruity flavor, hoppy, peppery with a dry finish. Light to medium body with lively carbonation. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Feb 17, 2009 Cloudy golden color with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is of grain, apricots, and other fruits. Taste is of grain and fruit with a medium hop bitterness. bennylava (83), California, USA Feb 13, 2009 750 ml bottle. Not terribly impressed, poured a nice golden color. Spicy, dry, kinda bears a passing resemblence to a wheat beer. A little more dryness and bitterness in the finish then most. A good beer, I wouldn’t rush out to buy another. marcus (1821), Sacramento, California, USA Feb 13, 2009 This blonde ale poured with a miniscule off-white head and a floral resinous aroma. There is a funky herbal vegetable flavor that was actually not as bad as it sounds. It’s hoppier than most monk-related brews and also less sweet, but overall interesting and drinkable.
