| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 27, 2005 12 oz bottle-thanks to singlelensref for ths one. pours a hazy orange hue with a small sudsy white head. aroma has notes of sour lemons, bananas, and light grains. this beer is light in body, but quite refreshing. flavors of lemon, banana and light grains. not much on the finish makes me think that this bottle maybe from last summer. i would love to re-rate a fresh bottle sometime soon.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2005 Updated: Jul 5, 2005Spicy aroma, cloudy amber body with a small head. Despite the complexity, it has a light and sweet finish. Considering the only other summer ale I’ve had was Sam Adams, this was an easy winner for the category. It isn’t as complex as most Belgian ales, but it is certainly enjoyable. What is here is great. A great "get wasted" beer. (3.8)
Rerate: This came off as a bland summer ale. Once it warmed it was basically undrinkable. This made one of the few beers I have had to pour out. Drink it cold or flush it. While there is quite a bit of complexity here, it still came off as a blah beer. DYCSoccer17 (2192), Davis, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 25, 2005 Bottle. Spicy, peppery, orangey, musty citrus aroma. Slightly acidic and tart. Mild-moderately hazy golden-copper color with a nice off-white frothy head with nice staying-power. Start is light, thin and a bit watery with citrus orange and lemon rinds in the middle. Finishes smooth with a very minute bitterness. This beer fails to live up to the appearance and aroma. Too thin and bland. Holdwine (908), Beertimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2005 Do these guys make a bad beer. Nice and yeasty pouring a glowing amber. Fruity and peppery all at the same time makes for a wonderful, relaxing quaff. Ughsmash (4030), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 17, 2005 750mL Bottle (Speciale Reserve, Batch 9). Pours an almost clear golden color with about 1/4" retained white head. Pepper, yeast/bread, coriander, and cobwebs hit the nose. Belgian yeast and a bouquet of fruits & spices come through in the taste. Clean mouthfeel, and slightly dry. Bready finish. A little sweet for my liking, but fairly well-balanced and easy to drink.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2005 Bottle. Nose-sawdust, wood, tannins, oak barrels, and corriander. Hazy iced tea apperance with a thin head. Taste-yeasty, tannic, very clean with notes of black pepper, plum, bread, dough, alcohol, and tannins. Very puckering. Overall not very impressive but very drinkable. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
