| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Lemony, sweaty, musty wheat aroma. Absolutely clear, bright yellow, fair label. Metallic, hoppy, lemon jello sweetness and tanginess. It’s obviously going for crispness, but it kind of slides out of the saddle. Long astringent finish. Medium light body. Obviously an American Belgian - not in the good Ommegang/Allagash way, but in the bad wannabe, pandering micro brew sort of way. Fair to sub-standard. mrant (330), New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Smells of bitter hops and pungent yeast. Taste is mild yeast with a nice almost cherry-like sweetness. Very tasty, unusual cherry flavor is very nice. leitrim65 (398), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Pours a cloudy, golden color. The aroma is mild and disappointing, maybe a hint of sweet malt doughyness, along with a trace of spice, but it took a lot of work to reach that determination. This is a flavorful beer compared to the aroma, however its still fall short of most classic Belgian ales. Somewhat yeasty and sweet, with gentle carbonation, and spice, accented in the finish by a touch of hops in the finish. Overall a good quality beer. Tmoney99 (4714), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jan 2, 2009 Not much aroma and very yellow in color with lots of head. Beside the aroma and color though, I loved this. A good light Belgian spice, reminiscent of saisons. Nice and sweet, smooth. RasterMaster (121), , Oklahoma, USA

Clear golden pour into thick frothy white had that dissipates into sticky lacings on the side of the glass. Aroma of piney hops and malty sweetness. Initial flavor of bitter malty hoppiness which quickly fades into malty sweetness finish. Another drinkable ale by Great Divide.
