jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Dec 8, 2008 750ml bottle pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is medium malt-honey, musty, herbal. Taste is medium malt-honey, musty, herbal hops, some yeast. OK effervescence. Fin (3382), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Dec 7, 2008 Monks Cafe Philadelphia in company of Loz Casey and Traci, 15-11-08. Pours hazy golden with white head, though in the confines of a back bar that resembles the Bat cave for gloominess its difficult to see. In fact it was that dark in this place that I couldnt even see to write my notes and had to dictate them to Loz who has better eyesight than me. Nice soft lemony flavours and aromas, good farmhouse feel to this, plenty of yeast, drying at the end. Very nice beer. ante (2904), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 4, 2008 Bottled. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a rich lively white foam. Dried oranges, mild herbal hops and cookies in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of yeast, dried oranges, crackers amd cookies with crisp and fresh notes of grassy, herbal and citrousy hops. Dryish medium-bitter finish of grass, herbs, mild white pepper and cookies. A well-made, balanced brew mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Dec 1, 2008 Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a minimal head and a sweet lemon-lozenge aroma. Pleasant hoppy taste, honey and lemon-lozenge again, but something in there isn’t quite right... my notes mention urine but this was several beers into the tasting (but before I managed to nearly kill myself with pistachio chocolate - I’m allergic - and then break G’s glass in a frantic effort to fill repeatedly with water to wash the pistachios out of my mouth; ah memories!) Thin body but lightly creamy with decent carbonation. I’m not too fussy on blonde ales, so I think it’s just me, but that’s how we’re supposed to rate... thanks to G for the taste! sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy/murky pale yellow, nice white head that dissapates rather fast. Aroma is citrus, grass and malt. Flavor is sweet malt, hops and a touch of spices and fruit. nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 750 ml, cork and cage. Hazy golden pour with a fine white head. Belgiany-IPA type beer. Hops apparent, and well balanced with clean malts and belgian yeast. Slightly spicy and bready. Super easy drinking and quite tasty. While not mind blowing, it’s really enjoyable. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a largish, thick slighly off-white head and a hazy golden body. Good lacing. Aroma is weak with yeast, a bit of spice and some vinous element. Taste is hay, yeast, lightly peppery, and a touch of hops. Dry and crisp mouthfeel. A weaker part of the PB/LA/PP lineup. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 21, 2008 Bomber at Jerry’s. Amber-gold with good, foamy white head / Austere, vinuous, banana and spice nose / Medium body, hoppy and dry, but creamy with very good, bitter finish / Dry, grassy flavors of banana, apples, cream, and grain / A Belgian cream ale.
