Feb 6, 2007 A nice, hoppy Belgian. Good mouthfeel. Small, lasting head, much smaller than most Belgians.

Feb 3, 2007 Bottle: Hazy, golden coloured, small, stable creamy off-white head; giant intensive floral to resinous hoppy nose, gulp...! Soft MF; the flavour is an explosion of dry bitterness; lingering floral-aromatic-bitter-dry finish, balanced by a little sweetness. Chapeau ! Beautiful ! Why can’t other belgian brewers use these beautiful hops..................

Jan 26, 2007 Updated: Apr 2, 2008A golden pale ale that almost looks like a pils. Light, dry and hoppy. But I must say: not as hoppy as advertised. Hoppy for a Belgian ale, yes. Hoppy for an IPA or American pale ale? You decide. It was somewhat bitter for me, but not XX bitter. Maybe one X bitter. A nice, dry ale--even now I’d like another--but less sharp than I’d hoped, that’s all.

Jan 21, 2007 well carbonated with a slight white head and a golden color. the taste starts a little malty and finishes with a strong hoppy bitter flavor that does have some complexities. not all that well balanced. good beer overall

Jan 20, 2007 Updated: Oct 12, 2007Bottle. Golden & cloudy appearance with a long-ending white foam. Aroma strongly dominated by citrus hops, along with some tropical fruit maltiness and some yeast. Wonderful bitter aftertaste.

Jan 18, 2007 Lightly hazy, bright golden-yellow color. Pure white head, settling down but not completely disappearing. Strangely sweet and malty aroma, with some interesting hop qualities... also a bit of citrusy and soapy elements. Extremely pronounced hop flavors, on top of a malty, sweet, Belgian-yeast base. Some citrus, flowers, spices, and some vague woody smokiness. Very astringent, bitter finish. Definitely a refreshing change from the typical ultra-sugary Belgian beers. Interesting, complex, a bit odd... but definitely worth drinking again.
