Aroma was quite bland; bread, honey, yeast and fruit. Flavor was a bit dull; yeasty and dry. Not much going on here.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Tap @ Johnny Brown’s. Pours a deep hazy golden orange with a two finger thick off white ring that left some spotty lacing. Nose is quite fruity with a burst of Belgian yeast. Flavor is also yeast dominante with a nice fruity balance. popery (174), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 25, 2009 An okay but fairly humdrum Belgian-style ale. The beer pours a medium amber with a small white head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, apricots and malt. There is a promise of good underlying spice and other complexity that does not find satisfaction in the flavor. The flavor is a relatively clean, sweet and simple Belgian. The fruit is more restrained in the flavor and the spice is bland. The aftertaste is mildly unpleasant with a touch of stickiness and minerals. That said, it’s not an objectionable beer. It just pales in comparison to better beers in the style. Beardface (1001), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Poured out a dark yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of yeast, pepper, light citrus hops. Flavor is pepper, yeast, some caramel malt. Pretty solid brew all around from a pretty underrated brewery. Tmoney99 (4745), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Bottle from Kingdom Liquors. Poured a clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate tart citrus and yeast aroma. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. This beer met my expectations.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Bottle... Poured a golden/amberish with a thick, off white head. Aroma of hops and spiced yeast notes. Thick, well carbonated palate. Flavors of toasted bread-like notes, estery sweet tones, earthy hops, honey and a soft, easy going, dry finish with a wheat malt flavor to it. riversideAK (2731), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Aromas of honey, bread, grain, earth, and a subtle yeast character. Pours golden amber with some haze, not much in the way of head. Bread, honey, light fruity notes, and some yeasty esters are followed by a soft earthy bitterness in the finish. Easy to drink, subtle and not over done in the sweetness department. fidel (945), Livermore, California, USA
