| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2007 Bottle: Clear gold, light head and lacing. Nose of bright esters, lots of citrus, some banana and yeast. Light alcohol, a bit much of the banana peel. The flavor is light and sweet, again, lots of esters and a vanilla note. The finish is creamy. Ok. Not enough citrus or bright carbonation. MrBendo (1044), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Bottle. Like other Dark Horse beers, this one has a beautiful nose: very sweet with candied fruits (apricots and peaches). Slighty floral. Pours a cloudy copper orange with a creamy white head. Loads of malty sweetness on the palate. That eventually subsides and notes of spicy wheat and yeasty dryness emerge. Quite full bodied with average carbonation. Decent Tripel. lampeno420 (321), Zeeland, Michigan, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2007 Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of yeast, spice & alcohol, berries. The brew is a sparkling honey amber. The fully lasting creamy white head leaves excellent lace. The brew is fruity in the front, warm alcohol bleeds through the middle, the finish is peppery. The medium body is syrupy and soft. The finish feels alcoholic. brewblackhole (1385), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2007 Aroma is first thing fruity,pears and apples and maybe a little pineapple,hint of doughy yeast ,not that strong,also you can detect in the aroma that this is going to have a sweetness to it. Taste is fruity ,sugary, with some yeast components and spice. The sweetness and fruit has a charm to it,like Hi-C jumped into the Belgian Ale business. Its probaly an excellent intro Belgian style brew.
