Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Feb 19, 2008 Mar. 2007 - Pour was an odd light orange color, decent head, no lacing. Weird yeasty flavor. Light flavor of mild citrus, some biscuity flavors and sweet malts and a touch of mild spices. Doesn’t taste very Belgian-esque. Odd. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA Oct 27, 2007 On tap at the Blind Tiger...Sticky, aspartame-like sweetness makes the finish too much for me. It has a lot of citrus, honey and melon and is overall very fruity. But it is not a lightly-flavored, summery beer IMHO. The aroma is mild and floral. Interesting, eclectic hop blend in here. Highly malty and bread. notalush (2628), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 20, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger - hazy orange beer - zesty, citrusy aroma, but devoid of hops, so the citrus is more a fruity ester smell - light bodied and tangy - slight orange fruitiness, followed by bready flavors and a chalky, milky quality - a bit acidic - it started burning my stomach halfway through the pint. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jul 19, 2007 20 ounce Imperial pint on draught at the Blue Tusk, Syracuse, June 27 2007. A bit of head dies into a thin coating atop the bright translucent copper body....lightly yeasty, honeysih aroma, faint pale malts and an even fainter herbal essence....dry, tart and a bit grapy on the tongue; tastes rather old or spolied, overattenuated, watery and thin....more like a weak Oktoberfest than any kind of Belgian style, and not a good one at that. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 17, 2007 Tap @ Croxley Ales, Rockville Centre, NY. Pours a cloudy golden-amber. Aroma largely of citrus and hops. Taste is the same, but the beer is overall a bit too watery. It seems to be an homage to the Belgian Pale Ales, and if so you’re better off with De Dolle Arabier or La Caracole Saxo. WISEGUY572 (1244), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 9, 2007 Not great but a great surprise from Brooklyn. Cloudy amber, big vanishing foamy head. Citrus and yeast, nutty tannic finish and mouthfeel. Light and refreshing and an easy drinking Belgian style. wheninhell (485), louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 3, 2007 on tap at Rich O’s. clear orange amber with a diminishing white head. light orange aroma with some light caramel notes. nice balanced bittersweet orange caramel flavor with light bready undertones. bittersweet orange caramel finish. light body lively carbonation. nice light refreshing. Maverick34 (686), New York, USA Jun 23, 2007 Draft at the brewery. Not a ton of taste, pours reddish brown. Kind of weak for my taste.
