| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2005 Bottle conditioned, from Sainsburys. Hazy gold, good fluffy lasting white head and gentle condition. Slightly tart fruity nose with some background traces of phenols and a hint of yeast, quite astringent in the mouth with low fruity malt and more phenolic character that in an English beer I would call an infection. Dry and yeasty in the finish with some hints of honey sweetness but still a background funkiness that didn’t quite seem right.

Nice summertime blonde ale. A bit spicy. Im not a fan of Belgians but I’d drink this again. DYCSoccer17 (2189), Davis, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2005 2003 Bottle. Barnyard funk with lemon-citrus aromas with hints of corn silage. Bananas are also in there. Slightly sourish aroma. A lot going on in the nose. Hazy yellow=orangish color with fine fizzy white head. Start is slightly citrusy turning to a more roasted subdued maltiness. Frinishes rather roasted and dry. This is very seductive and feels wonderful going down. Very silky and smooth.
