| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Described by Tomme as a Belgian blonde ale, this light yellow beer sported a tiny offwhite head. The Aroma was herbal and hoppy, with some underlying light sweetness and some yeast. Flavor is slightly bitter with some ballancing sweetness and floral hop character. Refreshing and flavorful, one of the best takes on the style Ive had to date. oteyj (796), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Hazy yellowish beer with a small white head. Aroma is quite hoppy for the style- the dry hopping really shows through here. Excellent take on the style- almost like an american pale ale with a huge belgian yeast twist. Lots of bitterness with some sweet malt and floral bitterness. Palate is medium to full with an effervescent mouthfeel and swet finish. cstuartj (326), Washington, USA

On tap at the Sinner’s and Saint’s party. Pours a clear gold with a thick foamy white head. Sharp aroma, of yeast, malt, grass, and lemon. Taste is crisp, of lemon, malt, and grass. Lingering crisp sharpness. Decent.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours gold, with a white head. Aroma is yeast, honey, and some hops. Flavor is yeast, hops, honey, and citrus. Medium body. Decent, but nothing special. alagnak (375), Littleton, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Draft @ Falling Rock. Yeasty, grassy aroma with hints of honey - definitely the belgian yeast stands out in the nose. Flavor is really light and sparkly - totally unexpected - lemon and spicy floral notes hit the tongue and the finish has more of the earthy yeast. Interesting take and a well done one. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Tap at Vine Street Pub. Pours a thin cheddar orange with an aroma of weak grass and ’tarded biscuit and hops. Flavor is well-rounded pilsner yeast, light biscuit, and a bready finish with orange bits. Average mouthfeel that is slightly sexy on the tongue. More of a pilsner than a Belgian, in my opinion. illinismitty (1800), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2009 Draft at Radio Maria in Champaign, IL. Pours a hazy gold orange with a white head. Faint aroma of Belgian esters and yeast. Lighter side of medium bodied with soft fine carbonation. Flavor of pale Beglian malts and clove, lemongrass, white pepper, and flower petals countered by a herbal bitterness. Semi dry and yeast finish. This could use some residual sweetness. Decent, but nothing I would go out of may for again.
