Carl99Fan (187) - Suwanee, Georgia, USA - AUG 23, 2007
Bready, overtly yeasty flavor. I enjoyed the other Val Dieu’s I’ve sampled, but not this one. Flavor was ’off’ to me. Weak aroma, nothing special.

vyvvy (2798) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - AUG 9, 2007
Pours golden / blond with a large frothy white head. The aroma is very bready and malty with rich toffee and a good amount of yeast. Medium body with fairly crispy with a good amount of sharp carbonation. The taste starts with pils-like malt, rich breadiness and clean earthy yeast. the finish has some hops and pepper. A good beer, but nothing to go out of your way for.

mgumby10 (1856) - Jupiter, Florida, USA - AUG 5, 2007
Pours a lightly hazy straw gold color with a medium white head. Smells of some citrus, and a little bit of spice, but mild overall. The taste had a definite little funkiness to it, almost a slight sourness that really didnt work for this beer. It was fruity for sure, spices were held to a minimum. The slight sourness had a lingering effect in the aftertaste that realy turned me off as well. Better options out there.

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - JUL 28, 2007
draft @ redlight redlight. Fient citrusy aroma, some sugars, spicy hops. Pours orange/blonde. Citrusy, some dry sugars, hints of noble hops enough to make their presence known and provide a slight bitterness. There’s some fruit evident, slight apple skin flavor, finishes really dry.
