Nov 4, 2007 Aroma is classically Belgian--fruity, grassy, slightly honeyed. Cloudy yellow-gold with lacy head. Flavor starts out taut, with a greater hop presence than most Belgians, then eases into a yeasty fruitiness at the finish. Palate is suitably light for such a dry ale.

Oct 22, 2007 Shimmering gold color looks intriguing. Complex array of smells and flavors: crisp dry edges are rounded out by fruity, floral elements.

Oct 15, 2007 Cask @ Microbar, London. Pours lively golden colour with big white head. Aroma is grassy / sweet / honey / lemon (possibly grapefruit). Taste is spicy / hoppy / caramel / some banana. Finish is dry and hoppy. Very nice beer.

Oct 8, 2007 I admit this score is probably a little too high for others - I have a weakness for big, blonde, farmhouse-style Belgians. Stong "Arabier" cake-ish yeast scent mingles with a Dupont like grassiness with a faint juicy fruit flavor. Pineapple? Not quite. Maybe more like yellow apple and mango, whatever.. The important thing about this beer is that it’s not a bold, dense flavor juggernaut, but rather
a deft compostition of classic rustic Belgian flavors that totally satisfies. Kind of like a crisp, extra juicy Saison Dupont, but not necessarily better.

Oct 6, 2007 Bottle. Bright gold with a big, tight white head. Aroma of grassy hops with some honey and grapefruit. The flavour had sweet malt, some spice and a long hoppy finish. Very good.

Oct 4, 2007 One of my go-to beers, with a real bitterness that’s nevertheless restrained and refreshing. Most recently, from a 75 cL: Cloudy gold with a seriously tight-laced, lasting head. Grassy, piney nose and a flavor that’s mildly bitter, just a touch of sweetness, medium to full body and lively mouthfeel. Dryish, grassy finish. Writing about it makes me wish I had some right now.

Sep 29, 2007 On draft, poured a nice amber hue with barley any head. Aroma was a mix of caramel and bread like notes. Flavor was initially fruity some banana notes and some smooth caramel notes, finished clean.
