May 10, 2007 Sampled at the Port 1st Anniv Part. Yellow and clear with a nice white head. Lots of sweet fruity aromas. Mostly citrus. More hop flavor than I expected. Floral notes and some more citrus. Very good

Mar 8, 2009 22oz bottle: poured golden yellow with about a one finger off white head. Fruity/hoppy aroma- very fragrant. Grassy and some citrus notes. The taste is quite nice with a peppery presence of hops and citrus, maybe a bit of pine notes. Mild bitter finish. Really a nice tasting, full bodied golden ale. Very nice.

Feb 25, 2008 Transparent, magnifying and bubble filled straw yellow. A sustained soda head floats on top. A signature honey biscuit with marigold pollination reaches the nose. Lemon seltzer water, orange rind and daffodils provide an in-sync, artistically simple - yet elegant - aroma. Effervescence shines as the clean, hoppy treat gives a cleansing and dry palate swipe. Buttered vanilla and lemon shards get smoothed over honey baguettes. A doughy biscuit trait gets bought out by biscotti for a drier edge. White rose blossoms dipped in honey and a hoppy, herbal cotton and tangerine take are well met with the dry, medium bodied and amply carbonated concoction. Lemon seltzer and lilac baguettes take the final bow. Thanks for the bottle, tpkenned!

May 27, 2007 Tap @ brewery: Clear golden with decent lacing. Aroma is very hoppy for the style with citric fruity hops. Maybe some spicing here as well, but mostly hops. Belgian yeast and caramel as well. Medium bodied and cool for the style, like a Belgian IPA.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottle> Pours a lightly hazed medium yellow. Aromas of light earthiness funk, yeast, light hops. Originally enjoyed this with Hogtown harry & rudolf but apparently forgot to rate. Taste has that Belgian yeastiness, some bandaid, medium mouthfeel. Flavor here just seems to be lacking a tad. Decent beer but maybe expectations are inflated

Dec 9, 2007 golden orange with fizzy white that quickly settle to frothy little islands. some spotty lacing, but nothing out of the ordinary. yeasty/ grassy notes with a spicy bitter finish. Im gonna go out on a limb here; this would be a great summertime beer.

Jun 17, 2007 A cloudy yellow appearance with a moderate head. The aroma is spices and lemons. The flavor is rather herbal with some lemons and bread flavors. The finish is slightly bitter. An ok attempt at a belgian but nothing to rave about

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.
