| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 (872), Miami, Florida, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | 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 (1853), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. satan165 (566), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2009 aroma is of some hops and intense sweetness. appearance is straw yellow. flavor is of orange and yeast making this almost saison like. very light yeast funk. very fresh and light, well complimented by citric hoppiness. palate is somewhat dry, bitterness lingers on the back of the tounge long after a swig. talon1117 (620), Bellvue, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Pours a spakling golden color with a moderately full, brilliant white, rocky head which diminishes fairly quickly and leaves some nice but minimal lace. Nose is a bit off; notes of herbal hops, vegetables (celery), some very sweet breads from the malts and yeast, musty yeast notes, maybe even some ginger. Flavor is better with no vegetable notes; ginger root is more prominent, hops are herbal but faintly spicy and floral, yeast is faintly musty, and sweet bready malt notes are light. Palate is light to medium, lively, drying a bit, and slick. Finishes lightly bitter with herbal notes and short, only hints at some yeast and ginger root. A somewhat strange Belgian with some nice notes and some offputting notes. Everything is just fair, nothing is worth remembering. One of the breweries less intriguing beers.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Moderate sized sloppy white head of varying sized bubbles. Quite rocky on top. Light floral aroma, some herbal notes and dandelions, light malts and a hint of orange. Color is a hazy peachy brown. Not all that impressive looking in the glass. Flavor is a bit on the weak side. A little astringent and pretty bitter for a belgian. Floral hops, some light sugary malts. Mild alcohol presence. I don’t know this brew just seems very bland to me on a bunch of fronts. Finishes bitter and hoppy. Not all that well balanced. Body is a bit thin for all of the hops and bitterness.
