RedSox2004 (353), Pacific Palisades, California, USA Jul 25, 2009 Hazy orange with a gigantic head that took forever to settle, and left great thick lacing. Light fruit - peaches, grapefruit - and spicy aroma with some grassy hops. Grapefruit and hops are up front on the tongue, with some lemon, honey and tartness rounding it out. Highly carbonated, slick mouthfeel, and clean lemony aftertaste. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 24, 2009 750ml bottle

TBone (6681), Pori, Finland Jul 23, 2009 Bottled (Konttori).
Yellow-orange hazy color, very small white head. Ryeish, peach fruity aroma. Fruity (peach, watermelon), oily, a bit alcoholic. Some yeasty notes. Quite middle of the road American style Belgian ale. Prize/quality-ratio in Finland extremely bad (30 USD per bottle). thegreenrooster (1811), St.louis, Missouri, USA Jul 18, 2009 Pour is a bright gold with a large white head. Aroma is super musty with some fresh flowery hops there in a big way. Flavor is lots of Belgain yeast with a strong hop backbone. Some citrus and spice are left on the tounge after the swallow. This is a very tasty and excellent beer. deyholla (508), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jul 8, 2009 Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with an orange tint and with minimal head. The aroma was quite yeasty and some fruit notes, grapefruit perhaps some orange. Beer begins a acid with a grapefruit flavor and begins to become more bitter and grainy. boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 3, 2009 Bottle... Poured golden/orange with a white head. Lightly spiced grains on the nose. Medium carbonation, nice mouth feel. Big cracker-like grains and a low bitterness. Really nicely balanced, a solid Belgian golden ale. A light fruit, apple-like character for a nice sweet balance. NoiZe (1289), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Jul 1, 2009 Cloudy orange, yellow brew. Yeasty and hoppy brew. Flavor of hops, yeast, berries, bitterness and apricots. glennmastrange (810), hobe sound, Florida, USA Jul 1, 2009 Bottle. Light aromas all around, with light bread and cereal for the malt, herbs and lemon for the hops, barnyard for the yeast and a hint of apple. Head is small to average size, frothy, white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is sparkling clear amber on the first pour, and cloudy gray on the second. Flavor starts slightly sweet and moderately acidic, then the long finish is lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery, has a fizzy carbonation and a dry finish. A pretty good Belgian Ale, just not a whole lot of depth.
