| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Bomber. Slightly lemony, farty, cheese aroma. Nice, dryish, bitter, lavender flavor, with a bit of chemicals in the finish. An Orval clone, I guess, but not particularly well executed. jstraw (758), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2009 22oz bomber, no date.Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, good retention. Fruity (pineapple), floral, and lightly herbal hoppy nose with some faint lemon and Belgian yeast behind. The flavor had hoppier herbal notes with the florals a little diminished. Not as much pineapple, either. Semi-dry earthy finish with bitterness @ a 3. Light to medium body with light prickly carbonation. Would like to revisit this once the brett kicks in more with the flavor. travita (1908), Frisco, Texas, USA

The smell is yeast, citrus, floral, hops, and pear. The taste is yeasty, hops, floral, citrus, and fruits. Ok. cprochak (396), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery 7/18/09. Pours a hazy gold with great lacing, little head. Beautiful aromatic blend of floral and citrus hops, with a mild hint of spice. Taste has a touch of sweet and sour, then a blended bitter clean finish. Very smooth and drinkable, though not too complex. HonkeyBra (1326), Lemont, Illinois, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2009 My 22 oz bottle looked different from the c&c one pictured here and was marked Lips of Faith. It poured a cloudy golden color with a fat white head and moderate lacing. Nose is spicy, with coriander and floral hops. Medium but somewhat oily mouthfeel. Flavor is on sweet and dry side with some citrus flavors, and the finish is dry as well. thirdeye11 (523), Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 26, 2009 ( 22oz bomber thanks to ballewblake) Pours a pale yellow with oily bubbles, head and coats the glass very well. Nose is coriander, brett, funk but lightly so and very herbal. Taste is more coriander, brett, lightly crisp hops, with an oily body and nice velvety carbonation.
