Apr 21, 2004 Yeasty, floral, cakey, somewhat chemical aroma. Light, pale wheaty color, fairly even suspension with some larger chunks. Kinda cool label. Tart, moderately sweet, honey notes, sweet-tart candy over sharp alcohol bitterness. Good body, fairly quick finish is malty with residual fruit quality. Some silly putty phenols left on the lips.

Apr 6, 2004 Very clear dark yellow/golden color, effervescent with small white bubbles, yeast was in medium size chunks when sediment disturbed... aroma was slightly sweet, low caramel, raw honey/wild flowers... taste was slightly solventy from the high alcohol, hops were very mellowed (old bottle), hops and German-style maltiness both present (unique for a Belgian beer: cara-vienne malt?) but came across separately and not well blended... beer seemed somewhat out of style for a Golden Ale (as it is claimed to be), which is why I gave it a low score in the overall category.

Mar 22, 2004 Updated: Feb 27, 2007Bottle... Hazy, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is of butterscotch, spice, pear and vanilla. Well-balanced flavor. The high ABV is not overbearing, but is definitely there. Nice hop kick. Some notes of grapefruit, pear, apple, orange blossom honey and butterscotch in the flavor. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, bitter-sweet finish. Thanks to jbrus for the bottle of this fine brew!

Jan 23, 2004 Bottle Conditioned. BBE Feb 2005. A Belgian Blonde. Big head that tastes quite creamy, but eventually vanishes. Medium body that vanishes in the mouth. Sweet up front but with a soft and pleasant fresh bitterness in the finish. A subtle and tasty beer with character that is very enjoyable. Little hints of flavours move around in the mouth. Very good.

Jan 20, 2004 Light golden in color, a bit of haze in the appearance, nice fluffly white head, pilsener-like nose with hops in the aroma countered with a bit of sweet maltiness, slight hops in the flavor, balance was great, a bit dry in the finish

Nov 11, 2003 Pours golden yellow with a thick dissipating white head. It has a hoppy Saaz aroma and a mild banana, fruity flavor. Finishes moderately alcoholic and is well carbonated. A good beer.
