lighter bitterness than the prior sample but still a prevalent and building character, finally after warming a sweetness emerges and the bitterness receeds, a light tartness shows as well,

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2009 Bottle… Cloudy golden ale with some dark yeast chunks floating around and a huge, frothy, white head. Nice retention. The subdued, bready aroma resembles that of biscuits and honey. Medium-bodied with stinging carbonation. The flavor is sweet and lightly spicy with pale grains stepping to the forefront. Finishes sweet, and then dry. Bottle provided by growler! bu11zeye (5468), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Pours a hazy golden bronze with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of pale biscuity Belgian malt and some earthy coriander and yeastiness. Starts with decent viscosity and nice sweet biscuity malt with some citrusy balance and earthy bitterness toward a fairly full bready finish. A pretty interesting double witbier.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This fluffy Belgian-style Strong Ale shares doughy yeast and lightly honeyed cereals with subtle citrusy, herbal hoppiness for a dry and classy number.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A foamy throne reigns over the light golden.
-This is extremely expensive (15$ for 750ml) for the end result.
-There is wild yeast in here? It’s not showing up in the flavor profile much, unless it is responsible for most of the dryness.
-This is very drinkable for its abv.
-Carbonation is rather effervescent.
