Man, this is good! It it very much reminds me of Duval, but not as sour and perhaps a bit more malty. It's got citrus and thyme notes in it as well. Pours with a nice, merange type head. Just excellent. Of course, it's a Belgian, what can be said?

Light golden color, excellent clarity. Nice floral, herbal aroma with low esters. Great crisp balanced flavor and clean finish. an incredible low gravity beer. NOTE: I hearad a rumor that this was part of a batch that was mislabelled ans is actually the Manheur 6?

What a great drop of suds this was. The drinkability of this beer is incredible!! If there is anything close to a Belgium session then this would be it. Nice aroma of bananna, bubblegum, sugar and lemon. Simply beautiful to look at. A huge white head with a cloudy yellow hue with a zillion bubbles zipping around like a cousin to champagne. A lively dance on the tongue gives way to a VERY refreshing beer with a taste profile to match the aroma. I couldn’t find any defects with this and recommend buying if you ever come across.

A very nice beer. Full bodied and flavorful with orange citrus, herbal, and bready qualities. Shows that a good belgian ale does not have to have a huge, or even high, ABV. BY the way, my bottle was fresh, with a best before date in '05.

Well this seems to have a grapefruit skin color to it with a soapy head on it.Really nice citrus aroma to it, maybe with a lil strawberry lemonade on it. A wet/dry hay thing going on with the taste at first. A definite earthiness becomes aparent, but thats about the extent. Tends to show some washington apples in it also. A nice vrew, and I also must thank Dasilky1.

Bottled @ DBF2004: Light golden coloured. White head. Lasting. Light sour and yeasty aroma. Is sweet and malty with some spices and hops in the flavour. End dry and light bitter. Quite drinkable.

Same set of bottles as Dasilky1, probably at least 3 years or more aged. The pour was a light golden color, very bright with extremely lively carbonation and a massively white foamy head. which actually faded pretty quickly after i stopped pouring. The aroma's are absolutely all over the place. I picked up lemon, orange, cherries, Oak, strong sour apples, hops, and grapefruit. The taste is very flemish sour ale like. Strong pungent apples, strong carbonation, heavy emphasis on bittering hops, decent dry apple/malt ending. Cherry, lemon, and big apple in the taste. Fairly pleased palate..a little rogue given the high carbonation level and soda-like qualities from aging. A very nice beer. Thanks Dasilky1.

Aroma of citrus, hops and yeast. Hazy, yellow coloured with a lasting, perfectly white head. Taste is sweet, yeasty, citrus. Moderate bitter finish. Pleasant finish and aftertaste. Typical blond ale.

Nice refreshing ale. I could drink it all evening and get drunk. But it’s not very special. I like the other Malheur beers better. It’s light sweet, fruity, light bitter. A bit too thin. Seems like a Palm-like beer brewed for the masses.
