Draft at Max’s 72 Hour Belgian Beer Fest. Cloudy gold. Aroma is spices, yeast notes, flowers and fruit. Taste is more fruit, spices, dust and cobwebs (yeast), and flowery hops. Body is light-medium and chalky. Soft carbonation. Ends with soft malts, more fruits and yeast. Lighter flowers and spice.

Aug 5, 2008 average right down the middle. it does some flavor with the malts and hops but the rest feels a bit average. The caramel like malts works decently. give it a try

Aug 5, 2008 The aroma is hoppy with yeast, malt, and paper. The appearance is lightly hazy and gold with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s so-so.

Jul 31, 2008 Poured a nice blonde yellow color with a white head. Aroma was fairly malty like most of this style but had a larger hint of hops than usual. Flavor was sweet malt/candy sugar, a little bit of sourness, and a decent hop finish for a belgian.

Jul 9, 2008 330. This is a solid, refreshing, and very drinkable little blonde. Pours opaque burnished medium amber with a towering, bubbly platinum blonde head that falls quickly away to a thin head with intermittent rings of lace. The nose is a weirdly skunky candied orange melange...candied skunk? It smells inviting enough, honestly. Get rid of the skunk and there’s really something happening here. Medium body with sharply lively carb--a bit more restraint there would earn another point. Nice oranges and biscuits on the mid-palate. Mild, slightly nutty finish. Not a bad beer at all, though it lacks distinction in its (admittedly quite crowded) field. It may not be memorable compared to some of the other imports that sit aside it on cooler shelves in the US, but it certainly wouldn’t disappoint if it were the main thing on offer.
