Flavor is fruity, bready. Also a lot of organic hoppy bitterness than I was expecting. A nice surprise considering its a blonde. A dry finish lingers on the back of the tongue. A very good Belgian, and very refreshing. A hot summer day would make this. dankman38 (228), Somewhere in, Ohio, USA

Lots of yeast and grain on the nose. A little tart spice with a wee bit of bitterness that finishes dry and hoppy. Nice beer, comparable to a light Orval. dmac (1507), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 7, 2008 Rating #600. Bottle from stoutlover72, thanks Garrett. Pours a slight hazy golden orange with a large creamy bright white head and tons of lacing. Complex aroma with a lot of earthiness, white pepper, grass, yeast, bread possibly some fruit. Medium bodied with lots of dryness on the finish. Flavor is loaded with spicyness, yeast, bread and earth. Good beer but it’s like going to a minor league game when you want to see the real team. I really neeed to try the 12. MadIndian (997), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours a hazy blonde, with a thin watery head. Nice wet lacing sticks to the glass. Aromas of grassy wheat, Belgian yeast, slight clove, and some ripe cider. Spicy wheat flavors, clove, grain. Very light flavored. Bitter hop after-taste. Epitome of the style. Bitter finish, very drinkable. Won’t see too many of these, definitely enjoyed it. sirpsycho (356), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Feb 25, 2008 Very pale blond lively body, topped by a modest head of foam. Barnyard apple/hay aroma which I maybe wasn’t expecting. Spicy saaz-like hops, completely dry and slightly yeasty. In fact, much like a very high quality pilsner. Fantastically drinkable beer whose beauty lies in its simplicity and austere European hops. Totally dug this. Miksu (2241), Jyväskylä, Finland
