Sep 20, 2009 Golden pour with white head. Nose of spicy flowers and grain malts. Crisp, clean mouthfeel with flavors of melon, flowers and malts and finishes with a nice spicy note.

Sep 16, 2009 Pour is a pale gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma is floral and very close to a herbal tea. Flavor is a little bit mango and a little bit honeydew. It is very easy to drink with not much aftertaste. This is something good but not great as it gets a bit thin toward the end.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle: Hazy light golden with a white film of head. Nice bright aroma with soft subtle spices- cumin, coriander (almost curry like) with a soft Belgian pale malt presence and subtle dry phenols. Creamy light fluffy body. Great dry flavor- some coriander, cumin, very dry with a touch of leather in there. I can drink this all day!

Sep 15, 2009 Poured a light yellow color with small head. Aroma of funk, pineapple, flowers. Dry finish. Very weird funkyness to this. Wasn’t a big fan. Just ok.

Sep 12, 2009 Pours a pretty gold with a thin white head and some lacing. Has a floral aroma that includes a distinct note of jasmine, with some breadiness underneath as well as some citrus and spice. Unfortunately, the taste wasn’t quite as good as the smell, with just a soft floralness with bitter undertones.

Sep 10, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazed golden body with a bubbly, finger-width, white head that fizzes away quickly and leaves a light, sticky lacing. Aroma is a sweet and perfume-like with a wheat malt, flowery clove, ginger pears, a bit of honey, and a slightly tart pineapple-citrus funk. Flavor is not as sweet and flowery as the aroma, but more earthy with lots of yeast. I can see how this is an attempt at Orval, but its still pretty different. Starts with a thin, earthy wheat flavor before a yeasty, slightly sour and funk, clove and honey, mild herbal bitterness comes in. Finishes a bit bready with an apricot-pear, medium earthy bitterness, plenty of spicy yeast, and a light sour funk. The bitterness and yeast flavor build slightly after a dry finish and dominate most of the medium length aftertaste. Thin bodied and smooth with a light, crisp carbonation. Overall, I see the similarities to Orval, but only slightly. Nonetheless this was a tasty beer with a nice flavor. Not too bold, but well made and solid all-around.
