Dec 23, 2007 Even a gentle pour resulted in a massive tan head. Patience is required because of the retention. Aroma is hop and sugar. Flavor is unexpectedly thin. Fruit and yeast can be found but it takes some effort. Hops are somewhat more pronounced and give a much needed life to the beer. Raisins and brown sugar show up late. Flavor improved as the beer warmed but this was an average beer at best.

Dec 18, 2007 The first avery I thought was weak. Pours a yellow orange color with a big foamy head. Smells like sugar and malt and tastes like corn and wheat. Very unblanced beer that seems to want to be a lager. I was purplexed.

Nov 24, 2007 Single from Total Wine. Fruity, yeasty aroma with a hint of bubblegum. Big creamy white head. Considerable carbonation. Flavor is light, fruity, with some tangy hops. Feels like a Spring/Summer seasonal refresher. Not much Belgian character that I can detect other than the Belgian yeast. Crisp and refreshing, and a decent drink. Nothing negative, but nothing to lift it much above mediocre.

Nov 16, 2007 I like this beer, more than most people here I guess. Cidery aroma. Pours from the bottle a nice thick foamy white head, and dark apricot, _almost_ raspberry ice tea color. Taste is crisp, with cidery tartness offset by malt and just a hint of hops. Good.

Oct 28, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a light amber color with a small head. Taste of fruit and yeast. A little bit cidery. Some light caramel and citrus as well. Average palate, carbonation and mouthfeel. Interesting, but I didn’t think it was that good.

Oct 25, 2007 Bottle. Pours lightly hazy copper with a fluffy white head. Aroma has a bit of oxidized apples and spice. Light body and moderate carbonation. Sweet caramel and fruit taste, spice dry finish. Tastes like it has more alcohol than 5.2.
