| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Pale gold with active fizzy head. Aroma is faint and a bit grassy with sweet and spicy notes. Taste is same, and rather milquetoast. A boring beer from a fantastic brewer. Perhaps the bottle was mishandled, because I smelled neither pear nor bananas. 22oz/13 JB175 (1664), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2007 Batch 13. Light golden color with a big white head. Aroma is lightly sweet with some light peach, citrus, lighter bread, and yeast. Flavor is bready, yeasty and sweet. Some gentle citrus with a nice hint of hop bitterness. Really nice the way everything blends together. This batch was better than the "20" I shared with some guests a few months ago. Nice "everyday" Belgian from Vinnie the Great. hopdog (5609), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2007 750ml bottle. Batch 003. I’m glad I had the foresight to open this one up in the bathroom. Loud pop, cork flew across the bathroom (almost taking out a light) and an initial gusher (quickly settled down). Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a larger sized head. Aromas of apples, pears, bananas, yeast, and traces of spices and citrus. Tastes of the same fruitiness, citrus, and spices. Lively, but not over carbonated, body. Veer (355), Landskrona, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2007 Aroma: mm, wonderful... apple, passion, sourish, apple peel. Strong belgian, yeasty fresh scent. I love it. Sweet malt, vaguely of caramel. Overal: fruity, sourish, fresh.
Appearance: light, warm golden yellow with a hint of orange. Slight fogginess. White, fine foam with a smooth appearance. Very cloudy towards the last pour.
Flavour: oh my, REALLY nice, sourish sweet, small bitterness, liquorice, rubbery, peary bitterness, corn.
Palate: smooth, mealy, not that carbonated, bit slimy. DuffMan (2769), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
