| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 13, 2008 This one opened with a big pop and the huge fluffy head came over the top of the glass as I poured. It poured a very pale yellow and the head lingered for a long while and the lacing was very good.
The aroma was mostly spices with some Belgian yeast as well. There was a definite fruity sweetness with bananas on top of a citrus hop aroma dominated by lemons.
The taste was pretty muted with much of the same flavors as the aroma. There is a slight hop kick up front before the yeast and grains take over in the middle along with some fruity sweetness. There is a little bitterness in the finish from the light hops.
The mouthfeel is light with tons of carbonation.
This is a unique and very light-bodied Belgian that lends itself to a very high drinkability. It’s not too complex but goes down very easy. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 14, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Slightly hazy golden. Sour apple with metallic bitter finish. Not heavy, yet packs in lots to the taste. Once again, interesting, but not very drinkable. Too much carb. bitbucket (2034), Kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 1, 2008 bomber thanks to brewboone. Pours a honey-colored amber with a white head which lingered. Nose is of lemon yeast and spice. Taste is lemony and sour apple slight breadiness. The mouthfeel is medium-to-thin and dry, with lots of carbonation. while not off-putting, this is a little better than so-so, but not great. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jun 25, 2008 This bottled brew from JSquire at a rating party poured a medium sized head of foamy white colored finely sized bubbles that left behind a slightly hazy yellow colored body and a thick foamy lacing. Its mild aroma was reminiscient of a lager. It had a mild start to its mouth feel with a mellow soft tingly finish. The flavor contained notes of mild coriander malts and some floral aspects. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 1, 2008 Bottle shared by jsquire. Thanks, Jeff! Poured a small very fizzy white head that mostly diminished, splotchy lacing, hazy, minimal amount of carbonation, and a pale yellow hue. The nose was sweet, spicy, some yeast, and fruity. The flavor was spicy, sweet, fruity, and yeast. Spritzy mouthfeel and medium in body. Quaffable but nothing truly outstanding with this beer. Just so-so for me.
