Sep 19, 2007 Tasted from a 0.750L bottle at the Lost Abbey 1st Annual Barrel Aged Beer tasting.
Pours a hazy yellow-ish orange with bright white head. The aroma is sort of sugary sweet with hints of spice and maybe honey. The taste is sweet, tart and dry. I get sweet malts with hints of wheat as well as tart tones of lemon and a hint of astringency. At times it ends sweet and others it seems to end dry or still others mildly tart. There’s some yeastiness too.

Sep 10, 2007 Bright gold pour with a big white head. Floral, spicy aroma with some yeast and bread/dough. Lighter tasting than expected. Oranges, crisp hops, honey,and a wheat-like tartness. Very dry. It was still very nice.

Sep 7, 2007 This Belgian Ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 750ml cork-finished bottle. Medium sized white foamy head with good head retention and nice lacing. Aroma is spicy and fruity, with some hints of orange, yeast and pepper. Lighter to medium bodied Belgian Ale. The malts are fruity and
sweet, with some cookie in the background. The hops are floral and earthy. Its much drier and spicier than one would expect from a golden ale. The peppery finish balances the malts, instead of the hops. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing. This is a nice beer for a warm summer evening.
Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is spicy and peppery.

Sep 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a golden color and a medium head. Spicy aromas, some esters, some nutmeg and a distinct hoppy nose. Flavor is bitter, spices and just a hint of the typical Belgian yest flavors. Finishes with some hoppy bitterness. Quite a refreshing brew, good for warm summer afternoons.

Sep 2, 2007 Shared by DYCSoccer17. Light honey-like, appley aroma, lightly fruity overall. Nice warm, biscuity malts, fairly clean sharp, dry body, substantial yet pleasingly crafted bitterness.

Aug 29, 2007 Poured a hazed golden orange color with a thick white head. The aroma and flavor were malty with a nice mix of yeasty esters and phenols. When one thing finished the other started. Peppr, citrus, dough, floral. My biggest complaint though was that this was a good bit dryer than I like. Medium bodied.
