| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Picked up 22-oz bomber from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with a thin and fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a fine film and some spotty lacing around the white ring. Aroma of typical Belgian banana ester yeast, some multi-grain malt lemon zest, and a touch of apple. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with some white pepper, grassy hops and a touch of multi-grain malt. Finish has a good balance of dry and semi-sweet character with a slight grassy hop aftertaste. I did not pick a lot of alcohol presence in this beer. Ughsmash (4046), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Bomber. Poured a crystal-clear bright golden with a short cap of white head sticking around. The aroma picked up a whole bunch of peppery spices and lighter banana notes with sweet toffee and floral accents. The flavor was all about the spices with cloves and white pepper everywhere.. pale malts and some light fruit at the base, but were swallowed up a bit by the spicage.. still quite tasty. Medium-bodied with high, creamy carbonation over the middle.. very spicy finish.. decent balance overall. Radek Kliber (3957), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Complete piss yellow with a little white head & nearly no lacings. Aroma is of straw, yeast & wheat. Medium bodied. Light alcohol sharp taste. Defenetly crisp - no doubt. But perhaps a rather boring Belgium ale. Not complex in any way. However the taste is powerfull enough & this is still very well made & enjoyable.

A beer your grandmother might dab behind her ears.
