| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Pour is a pale gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma is floral and very close to a herbal tea. Flavor is a little bit mango and a little bit honeydew. It is very easy to drink with not much aftertaste. This is something good but not great as it gets a bit thin toward the end.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 15, 2009 Bottle: Hazy light golden with a white film of head. Nice bright aroma with soft subtle spices- cumin, coriander (almost curry like) with a soft Belgian pale malt presence and subtle dry phenols. Creamy light fluffy body. Great dry flavor- some coriander, cumin, very dry with a touch of leather in there. I can drink this all day! JoeTheYounger (243), California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Pours a pretty gold with a thin white head and some lacing. Has a floral aroma that includes a distinct note of jasmine, with some breadiness underneath as well as some citrus and spice. Unfortunately, the taste wasn’t quite as good as the smell, with just a soft floralness with bitter undertones.
