| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Draught. Pours a cloudy gold with a nice white head. The nose is fruity with hints of banana, cloves, a little wild forest (in the way of leaves and woody tones). The palate is medium light. This is a very refreshing beer which still maintains respectable complexity. Think a hefeweizen with a bit more zest and a spicier finish. The flavor has many soft, sweet notes of banana and other fruits, while the finish brings out lemon and more spices. This is a wonderful "light beer". If I didn’t know better, I’d say this was an authentic Belgian product. I ’d love to see Brooklyn bump this up to a trippel to accentuate more of the subtler flavors.

Aroma of Belgian spices and yeast, bready, some citrus and bubblegum. Flavor were a nice mix if the same. Very well done American Belgian Arayaga2 (968), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 13, 2007 Clear blonde body with a medium white head. Honeyed cereals swimming in a yeasty potion.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Yeasty pale, a case where Saaz hops worked. Yeast and the hops in the aroma No lace, Active carbonation. Medium mouthfeel like a Golden except lighter. Blind taste would say this was brewed in Belgium. Good for the style.
