| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2009 Bottle. Crystal clear yellow/orange pour with little carbonation. Aroma was bready bubblegum. Flavor was heavy on honey, malts and finished syrupy with a little bit of hops. Decent HM beer, but wouldn’t trade for again. tarheels86 (812), Washington DC, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2009 On tap at Raleigh WBF. Pours a cloudy light orange with a decent white head that quickly settles down. Aroma of lemongrass, faint yeast, orange peel, coriander, grassy hops- almost a little skunkiness. Taste is very sweet with light fruits, white sugar, cotton candy, and lots of cloying alcohol. Light-bodied and fizzy on the palate. Not bad- but for this style it is not even close to par. wilkie (1193), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

Has nice fruity yeast aroma, and flavor is similar, with hints of orange peel, spice. Light body, sweet finish. mixinnixon2000 (227), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 1, 2009 Recieved this one as a bonus in a trade with Dakine. I do enjoy almost all Belgian strong ales. it’s so smooth you would never guess it was 8.5% abv. yobdoog (1530), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Yellow golden with almost no head from the bottle. Aroma of yeast and some spice, sort of belgian almost saison like. Slightly bubble gummy with some cotton candy. Taste is sweet and similar to aroma. Some mellow spice and candy sweetness. bubbleflubber (900), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Pours deep gold into the glass, with an initial creamy head that dissipates. Sweet, yeasty, fruity aromas. The flavors are similar, with tiny citrus, sweet light malts, aerated sugars, cloves, spices, and a hint of alcohol. The finish just closes on the candied fruit aspect of the brew. With a slightly syrupy mouthfeel, there’s nothing here that I’d seek out again, yet nothing out of kilter, either. j12601 (1355), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to that no good rascal Daknole, thanks man. Pours a clear gold with a hefty white head. Sweet fruit and bread aromas hit the nose even while pouring. Thin to medium bodied. Bready, with banana notes, and sweet. Finishes much the same way, with a touch of spice, possibly coriander.
