| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a deep clear golden color ale with a nice big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light brett with some Saaz hops. Taste is a mix between what appears to be light brett notes with some nice Belgian-type malt a dry noble hops finish. Medium body with some good carbonation. While I enjoyed that beer I have to admit that I will stick with DDC Dernière Volonté when I feel in need of an hoppy Belgian ale. Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Hazy dark straw colour. Slightly barny, baguettey nose with ample continental hop goodness. Sweetish pale malts on the palate with a bitter, earthy, yeasty, dusty, bready character. Really pleasurable drinking. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Sample Hotshots Feb Indy tasting - Aroma is very yeasty with straw and Euro hops. Pours cloudy gold with a small head and decent lacing. Flavor is fresh hay, dusty cotton, subtle citrus hops, pale malts and yeasty bread dough. Palate is creamy, smooth and a little tart. Simplistic and refreshing, but not outstanding. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2008 C&C 750. Some dried crusties around the cork, it weeped a bit at some point. Beer seems fine though, audible pop as the cork exits. Pours into my Karmeliet glass a clear gold with a big, foamy off white head. Sweet sugar cookie and orange nose, a bit yeasty. Flavor is more bitter than expected, a tangy orange/grapefruit, with a bit of grass and dust. Body is fairly well carbonated, on the light side of medium. Not bad. steview (901), Los Angeles, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2008 tap at the brewery - Pours hazy golden with a thin, lasting head. It has a slightly fruity smelling yeast aroma with some mild hops and malt. The flavor is of bread like malt and has a high amount of hops for a Belgian ale. Lively on the palate, it has a nice enough flavor though not much complexity.
