CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Jan 7, 2008 (750ml bottle) Purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle for $8.99. Surprisingly small head with a cloudy, sediment filled body filled with gold. Nose of coriander, lemon zest, tonic water and green leaves. Flavour is nicely tart hops mixed with a yeasty front. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Jan 2, 2008 Light golden color. Aroma of light yeast, but not a lot after that. Flavor is light and spicy. A little fruity. Finishes with a mild bitterness. I thought this was rather bland actually. Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Jan 26, 2008750ml bottle from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Brew poured a light amber color with a glowing orange tint. Slightly hazed as well. Had a nose of citrus fruits, banana, yeast and bread. Nice dry finish, a great domestically brewed Belgian! legion242 (1572), Richardson, Texas, USA Dec 29, 2007 Dry and yeasty with an axtra does of hops, this reminds me of an extra hoppy saison. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. Golden pour with a white head. Aroma is a little like a czech pilsner with some belgian yeast and american citrus / pine hops. The flavor is the same, and slightly herbal. For me, this blend of flavors doesn’t work. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 27, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to my Santa for sending me this one because I had one bottle earlier in the year that was skunked and wanted to try this again. Poured a nice golden body with thin head. Aroma is light yeast, earthy. Flavor is light spices, earthy and very dry. A good warm weather beer. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Dec 25, 2007 50. Pours lightly hazy bright gold with a fluffy white head. Light body. Sweet fruit, citrus and bread aroma backed by herbal hops. Some nutty malt flavor comes through, along with citrus in the taste. Rather dry and lightly spicy finish. The pine bitterness builds as I sip. mjg74 (1995), La Mesa, California, USA Dec 25, 2007 Bottle from South Bay. Aroma is a little sour and dusty with some spiced dry peppery hop character. Fairly dry and grainy up front. A little Belgian yeast and dry hoppiness. Pretty full flavored yet subtle Belgian Ale.
