| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | 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. DYCSoccer17 (2192), Davis, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 21, 2007 750 mL bottle purchased from Monument Wine and Liquors. Orangey, citric, peachy, bubble gummy, floral aroma. Big time bubble gum. Very sweet and different. Moderately hazy copper orange body with a frothy, rocky vanilla colored head that leaves attractive lacing. Citrus, spiced, hoppy start. Rather orange0like and dry. Wheat-like maltiness is present in the middle with a hoppy, piney, dry finish. A nice beer that I would call a Belgian IPA. sblair (37), SD, California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2007 Pours a deep gold with a white head. Aroma is surprisingly hoppy! Dough, pepper, and spruce (or some sort of herb) also in the nose. Tastes of bread, wood, dirt and pine while it finishes fairly bitter and very dry. Light bodied mouthfeel, but creamy enough to be pleasing. Moderate carbonation. Good stuff, a summer beer that keeps me interested. GriffinAvenue (396), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2007 Bottle. French’s mustard yellow coloring. Subtle. Musty. Grassy. Buttery bread in taste and aroma. Clean, even exhale. OK - but I’ve had a few too many superior Belgian’s today to rate this more favorably. Sampled @ BCTC 2007 ogglethorp (890), Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Big huge thanks to DirtyMartini for sending this gem!! Bottle. Pour hazy straw/amber color with a rather sizeable white head, and a ton of lacing. Aroma is grassy, floral hops, grapefruit, vineous notes. Flavor is refreshing grapefruit, grains, yeast, grass, pepper, citrus. Palate is medium bodied, medium to high carbonation, finishes bitter, almost IPA like. Wonderful brew, maybe it was the 95° weather that made this so refreshing, but whatever it was really enjoyable!!
