| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Pours a little hazy golden color in the glass with a big fat head, not a ton of retention though, but the decent lace makes up for this.
The aroma has a light hop character and a little bit of sweet floral fragrance.
The flavor is pretty good; it is simple enough to ’’throw one back’’ if you will. but there is enough going on here that it’s a bit of a thinker. There are some strong spicy flavors with some clove and a little lemongrass. There is a tad bit of tart sourness, just a little bit in the back of the mouth. A little bit of alcohol and a fruity but not too sweet flavor rounds it off.
I don’t know why but it reminds me a little bit of an Americanized Duvel.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Very good attempt at the style. Nice aroma. Typical flavor. Nice and light makes it very drinkable. Not too heavy on the alcohol. Worth a try. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a white head. The aroma was dried fruit, roasted malts and some hops. The flavor was well balanced with sugary malts, dark fruits, hops, and a touch of yeast. Overall, an excellent beer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Heavily carbonated yellowish-orange beer with a foamy white head. Fruit and malt in the flavor with a dry snap at the end. Kind of blase but not awful. Tripplebrew (496), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Pours an extremely hazy lemon yellow/sunshine orange with white head. Aroma is reminiscent of a dark malty beer. Roasted malts are present in the aroma with notes of fruit (mostly apple is what I pick up). I also pick up earthy mineral notes. Flavor is yeasty with fruity notes (sugared apple). There is a floral edge to it that balances any fruity tartness. Body is creamy but not syrupy and medium to high carbonation. A decent golden ale in my book. movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Oct 20, 2008 A very surprising brew! Pours a golden ORANGE hue with a small white head which quickly became a laced ring. Spicy aroma with a hint of banana and apple fruits. Full bodied palate with a long, sweet finish. A wonderful balance between sweet and bitter, keeps my taste buds searching. Overall a great microbrew that i randomly picked up. Recommended!
