| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jun 4, 2009 I was not impressed with this one. I got some sweetness on the nose. Poured a very pale gold color with little to no head at all. Carbonation sucked. with was very cloying in the mouth and no pleasant going down. The taste was mellow with some sugar and no spice. Yeasty and too tart... Won’t be having this one again soon Moggman (187), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden with little white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is banana and cloves with brown sugar notes and a yeasty background. Flavor is light with notes of banana, caramel, and a light bitterness. Finish is clean and light. gracefullypunk (352), Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 31, 2009 Very much enjoyed. Golden, a bit cloudy, honeyish with little head. Aroma of citrus hops and yeasts. Unfortunately it was served too cold (and to anyone not enjoying this one, I suggest letting it sit awhile) but after it warmed the flavors really came through. Fuzzy peach, brown sugar, coriander, clove, spice--well balanced. DigitalMan (119), Idaho, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/20 | May 28, 2009 Aroma is a little funky/sour and off-putting. Golden color is lovely. Flavor has a sour note which always hits me wrong. Not my style. Tried a bit with and without the sediment from the bottle. Flavor was mellower and better with the sediment. suchen (81), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 23, 2009 A solid Belgian style brew that tastes very close to Victory’s Golden Monkey, though I am a bigger fan of the latter. No head really, with a slightly herbal flowery aroma. That beautiful golden color, though cloudier than the Golden Monkey. Flavors were spicy (Coriander etc.) and herbal, some of my favorite. aletales (73), , Oklahoma, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2009 fruity malty aroma, thin head that dissipated quickly. sweet, citrus and malt. A very nice brew. BroSpud (615), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2009 Tasting at a beerfest [Disclaimer: This was tasted along with many, many other beers during a tasting at Julios. Some of the details are a little hazy]. Unique flavors in this one. Apricot maybe? Pretty good. BVery (674), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2009 BOTTLE: semi-cloudy gold pour, yeast and biscuit on the nose, taste of coriander, citrus, clove - just about a perfect Belgian taste for me.
