| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2007 Draft sample at falls church. This is a decent belgian golden ale. Light on the malt character so could improve that aspect. Hazy, opaque, yellow color with a big white head. Good spices. Big clove and faint cinnamon aromas and flavors. webjedi (249), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2006 Pretty delish from the growler. A nice American attempt a a passable Belgian. It had a nice bite, a bit heavier on the wheat than one would expect and some partiality to a light malt as well. Looks good in the glass. Plesantly fizzy and creamy at the same time.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 22, 2005 From the growler. Gold body with a faomy white head. Nose is lemony with light spices, some grains, and yeast. Taste is very lemony and yeasty. Some sweet malts, spice (cardomom), light notes of candy sugar, and grains. At times, this tasted like an American wheat. Body is light and sort of fizzy with variable moments of creaminess. Finish is more cardomom, citrus, wheat, and light sweet amlts. Decent. hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

A nice mild fruity aroma. The flavor is a pleasant mix of esthery fruit, malty sweetness, and yeast. Medium fizzy body with avery nice finish. A real surprise.
