| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2008 A good, crisp blonde ale. Nice citrus hop character with a clean flavor profile. Good carbonation level with a relatively dry finish.
Overall, a good blonde ale. Not a style I particularly enjoy, but this one’s pretty well done. mar (1933), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 19, 2008 bottle thanks to bhops. murky gold pour with a thin white head. dried fruits, mostly apricot and musk on the nose. easy on the palate with notes of cedar and grass with a small bitter hop finish. bhops (334), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 19, 2008 pours gold with medium head. Aroma of dried fruit, apricot with a little funkiness and mustiness. Flavor is mild and understated... grass and cedar with a hop bite in the middle. Tastes a lot like oeral from de dolle. I love this beer. RCL (1486), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle turned into a gusher upon popping the top. Super strong champagne effervescence. Must have started refermenting. Fruity with a hint of funk. Fairly dry. OK. SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2008 This was a wonderfully fresh and crisp beer with lots of citrus and some spiciness that went great with a 4th of July BBQ. ajm (949), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 6, 2008 Bottle from the best-stocked 7-11 in town (52nd and Figueroa). I was pretty shocked, as this tasted almost perfectly like Bud Light. And that’s not my thing. Nik925 (305), California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 5, 2008 crisp, good hopslap clean malt 5.6% tastes like more than that than it should. clean but complex not a normal ale yeast in this thing. A big divergence from normalcy, but have to question what he is going for. This could be a fake American Belgian from a lesser brewer. Something isn’t right, this is like coors for beer snobs, happy to drink it, but wish it was something slightly more. Sidenote, this is what I expected Pranqster from north coast to be (but that was terrible). masonjer (564), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 3, 2008 Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. On my quest to try all things HOTD. Poured a hazy gold color. Some tangerine and sweet wheat in the nose. Taste was more of the sweet wheat and the same hint of tangerine, goes down nice and smooth. I don’t even think it has wheat in it, but that’s just what came out. Great summer beer, nice and refreshing.
