3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2008-10-02. Crisp yellow body, small white head. Sweet aroma of pale malt, sugars and light spice notes. Sweet flavour, sugary character, lightly grainy underlying malts blend well with a light spice. Overall impression is dominated by sweetness. Very smooth average plus palate. (3+) Pleasant, but a bit too sweet. Very much like many other average attempts at a Belgian style brew. Bottle Shared by Blankboy

Bottle shared by acrdz, thanks dude. Poured a clear golden color with a thin white head that diminished to a ring. Aroma of pale malts with some light fruitiness including orange and apricot, and a bit of yeastiness. Lightly tart, wheaty entry with some light hints of fruit (mainly orange) leading into a yeasty finish with some light spice. Moderate mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Decent effort, but it needs some refinement to be truly enjoyable.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz bottle pours mostly clear light gold with a white colored head. Nose is initially hallway strong candy sugar and nail polish, turning slightly towards a pillowy but strong yeast. Flavor is mostly sharp nail polish and other chemicals mixed with your more typical Belgian strong golden candied straw and hearty. Overall it’s decent for a few sips but I can’t manage to drink much more of it.

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
22oz bottle, CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Pours a slightly hazy, whitened golden color; off-white head with patchy lacing. Fair amounts of husks, cereal, and light citrus bitterness in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: pretty astringent upfront; very bitter citrus and wheat husks; not terribly drinkable; rough edges; with plenty of alcohol coming through. Rough stuff. Lengthy finish: candy sugar, bitter citrus, and wheat husks.

Bottle from variety case. Really nice Belgian, I thought at first it might be too carbonated but it was fine well balanced, little head and fairly clear. sweetfruit odors and great fruit tatse with apples and pears.
