| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy gold color - plenty of floaties. Aroma is sweet - like something from the dentists office. Taste is sugary and minty - almost like mouth wash. Also some bannana and vannila. Slightly spicy finish. Decent beer, definately drinkable, but not really my thing overall. ako (154), Turku, Finland

Sweetish malty aroma. Fresh flavor, oddly sour finish; sweet and sour, even. Fruity, some wheatlike banana in flavor. Feels fizzy. kseecs16 (914), Naperville, Illinois, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 15, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very hazy golden orange with a decent white head. Smells of sweet light fruit syrup, vitamins, and sugar. Tastes of light fruits, like pears, apples, banana, and pineapple. Maybe a little plum in there as well. A little clove spice. Slightly mineraly. Tart and tangy, just as well as sweet. Almost no alcohol presence in the flavor. Very nice belgian. kwatoko (30), Belgium
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours lightly golden, a bit cloudy probably because I’ve kept it in the fridge for too long. Sort of metallic and citrus in the nose. Taste is somewhat fruity, spicy and mildly alcoholic. In the aftertaste there’s some yeast and hop bitter. Overall a very nice beer. USCBeerMan (109), Columbia, South Carolina, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 11.2 oz ceramic bottle. There’s a good amount unique qualities to this beer which i like, but really a fairly standard belgian ale overall. A noticeable sourness strikes me initially on the aroma as this quality continues in the actually taste, with other aroma notes of green apples, lemon cake, some banana and ginger spice, and some mellow grassy hops. Bountiful creamy pillowy white head on the pour, chunky lacing, an opaque body, and golden straw yellow on the color. The sour aspect of this beer gives a mild tang through out, with also some minor carbonation, but fairly smooth and nice in general. Decently mellow and spicy flavors come off initially in almost a farmhouse like fashion. Fruits, bread, and other heavier notes come into play shortly thereafter. These include apples, light lemon and other mild citrus, a decent amount of Belgian grain bread, and then a finish of spicy yet earth straw grass bitter. I enjoyed this beer, it had a decent amount of good things going for it.
