| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2008 On tap at the Flying Saucer-KC. Pours a hazy gold with a fluffy, white head and pretty, delicate lace. The nose is of bright, fruity, Belgian yeast and subtle pale malt. Light to medium-bodied it moves toward a light graininess at the finish. The flavor is of sweet pale malt backed by the trademark New Belgium nutty yeast. This is a fairly interesting brew that tastes much like a lighter version of their tripel. bleeng (597), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Draft at Vinos Little Rock AR.Yellow with a small white head. Nose of spices, brett, and a bit of Orval-lishness.Taste is dry, funky/barnyard, bitter, but very drinkable. Puckering finish. I can taste the Orval background in this-well done. I need to get a 750 or two or three of this and try it aged. I take it that the 750’s are bottle conditioned? awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2008 From a 750mL Bottle. Mostly cloudy, heavily carbonated, pale gold pour with a huge head of sudsy white. Aromas of herbal hops, bread dough malt, and some white pepper yeast spice. Extremely light bodied, crisply carbonated mouthfeel with a dry palate. The body is a bit thin with a bone dry carbonic bite. Flavors of peppery yeast and herbal hops that seem to get a bit pithy in the finish. Light bready malt flavors, but these are overwhelmed by the hops and yeasty spice. Interesting beer, but the intense dryness seems to overwhelm some of the other complexities. I generally dig the really dry beers, but this one seems to be a bit off the charts. hellbilly (1522), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2008 draft @ papago... hazed rich blonde with a soft white head which leaves a small amount of lacework on the glass. aroma is peachy, sweet grains, floral like honey suckle, peppery spiciness, mineral/earth and yeasty dryness. the palate is initially a bit sweet but turns nearly bone dry on the finish. flavors of some sort of fruit?/citrus/peach, mineral/stone, grain, woody like a dried out stick, lightly spicy and a little savory from the yeast. medium bodied. the nearly parching dryness makes it satisfyingly easy to drink...

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2008 6/19/08 On draught at The Dog and Pony, Renton, Wa. Aroma has a solid tropical fruit note complimented by clove phenols. Appearance is an excellent cloudy yellow/orange with great belgian lace. Flavor is more subtle, with banana and sweet malt dominating, but sweetness is low and keeps this very easy drinking. Indra (2026), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Draft. Doughy, yeasty aroma, some peppery spice and light notes of brett, along with touches of citric fruit sweetness and pale malts. Hazy golden color with a lasting, fine head. Flavor is lightly tart, fruity, grainy and a little bit funky, some very gentle "farminess" combined with lighter additions of wood and straw, faint bitterness and a finish that shows some lasting malty sweetness. Some fairly light complexity and balance to be found. Palate is thin, lightly acidic and effervescent, body is light-medium. Fairly refreshing and tasty. csbosox (1080), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA

Aroma of pils malt, candy sugar, light but present barnyard funk. Mouthfeel is nice. Taste is more of the same. Enoyable, better the second time around. rustychiles (1027), Mesa, Arizona, USA

This one was a hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma of malt and faint fruits. Flavor is citrus, spices, hops and a little funk. Decent.
