3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden colour, thick head. Slightly hoppy aroma, moderate acidic aftertaste, smooth all the way. Very good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours golden amber with large fluffy white head which leaves a nice thick wall of lacing. The head settles slowly into a dense layer with some fluffy chunks all over. Spicy aroma with coriander and yeasty bread. Some faint hop aroma in background. The flavor does not really match the inviting aroma and appearance with its light sweetness with some spices and a faint cidery touch. Body is a bit thin. Still its a very drinkable blond.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy golden orange with a bright white head, nice lacing and thick strong retention. Pleasantly sweet aromas with bananas and clove as well as a strong bread a yeast presence. Flavor is similar, minus the bananas, but a strong bready maltiness dominates. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel with lots of carbonation and a nice dry finish. Should have picked up two of these.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice strong syrup/sugar flavor with a deep running alcohol current. The strong syrup/sugar flavor comes back after the alchohol. Interesting.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
11.2 oz bottle, BB 05/2011. Poured bright, lighter orange with a nice cap of white head. The aroma was light and pleasant with coriander and light fruits over a bready malt base.. fresh and well-balanced. The flavor had bready and pale malts at the core with a faint hint of honeysuckle.. peppery yeast was much more prevalent than indicated on the nose.. also picked up floral, grassy, and citrus bitterness.. balance was alright, but it was a bit sharp in its transition to the edges. Light-medium bodied with ideal carbonation on the palate.. overall quite refreshing.
