Fairly standard blond ale, no world beater but quite solid. Sweetish malts drive the front and middle palate but the flavours do fade away somewhat in the back palate.

Shinny bright golden color with vivid carbonatation and a medium bubbly white head. Aroma is strange mixture between yeast, bananas and slightly phenols. Some fruit at the end. Taste is yeasty, spicy, esthery, a little restrained, not very complex. Medium to light aftertaste, some earthy hops at the end. Bart (1653), Brussels, Belgium

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2006 nice white head leaves a nice lacing around the glass, golden, sweet smell kinda fruity, and some yeasty skunky aroma, flavour of orange, some wheat and a good alcohol finish, decent blond Aarleks (404), Sydney, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 4, 2006 Bottle: Clear gold with a large white head. Wheaty bananas in the nose with some warming clove and peppery alcohol presence. There’s a slightly metallic grassy edge though, as well as a touch of creamed corn. In the mouth banana esters and some wheat tang, but it’s all a little underwhelming, despite a nice, creamy mouthfeel and gentle warmth. What really grates is a wet cardboard taste that accompanies the corn aroma. Pretty dissapointing. Tranquillity (1167), Espoo, Finland

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 12, 2006 Bottle at home. Refreshing ale with a kick to it. Fast-head, orange, smells and tastes citrusy. Sugar picks up at the end. PilsnerPeter (2617), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2006 Pours a deep golden orange with an initially large white head, which fades. . Soft and different. A bit fruity, hints of pears, green grapes (white wine like), touch of old basement. Light fluffy mouthfeel. Sweetness is present. Fruity, pears a bit muscat like. Touch of green grapes, apricot. A bit of a stale charateristic, corky flavor, almost reminiscent of wet basement. Soggy woodchip, late alcohol hint. Different.
