| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Pours as yellow and headless as any shitty pale lager. Sweet light aroma. INteresting flavour, doesn’t start until mid palate. A bit sour mid palate, becoming citrus and finishing with a strong bitter hoppy flavour that lingers for a very long time. interesting, but not very impressive.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Updated: Dec 9, 200925 and 2/5 ounce bottle from Total Wine & More, Roseville. Pours a cloudy pure orange with a large ivory head which collapses quickly; Good looking beer. Aroma, despite the low alcohol content, has some ethanol fumes. Also some funk and fruit (another good band name: Funknfruit). Light fruit like citrus, also peach and yeast. Flavor is fruity and funky, with some grassy and earthy notes, but I wouldn’t compare this to Orval as the above description does... Medium viscosity, low carbonation. Not as bitter or as flavorful overall as I’d hoped for, but still easily drinkable, likeable. Overall, good. wekker84 (36), etten-leur, Netherlands

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2009 Hazy orange-golden beer with thick white foam on top. Aroma is malty, flowery and hoppy with slights hints of tart fruits. Taste is clean, quit dry and well hopped. Nots of cereals in the mouth with hints of flowers, hay and herbal hops.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle. Pale, a bit cloudy liquid with a large white head. Aroma is mostly of hops and some yeast, but it seems a bit watery. Taste is dominated by hops with some acidity and an odd herbal tone in the aftertaste. Relatively bitter. Not bad.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2009 11.2 oz bottle...7-30-09....Orange/amber color...a little head.....light zingy and refreshing....hops not overbearing in flavor...but the bitter rears its demented head--some orange shows up to join the bitter party---then effervescence shows up---sediment is taken away to jail for tainting the purity of this beverage smcolw (350), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Some green-yellow color to the cloudy liquor--large bubbled head, but it leaves some nice lace.
Traditional pale Belgian aromas, including some barnyard smells.
I like the bitterness--from mid-taste through the finish and aftertaste. There’s a good malt base. Lots of ground pepper. Spritzy but with a good body. Jonte (821), Gothenburg, Sweden
