Oct 22, 2009 On tap at Kinsale Irish Pub, Boston MA, 2 October 2009. Clear gold colour. I wasn’t at all sure what this was supposed to be. Not much happening. Very little aroma. A little sweet fruity bubblegum and hints of spicy yeast in the flavour. Presumably Belgian style. Nothing particularly wrong, but not much to it.

Oct 16, 2009 12 oz. single bottle that was from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. Fair aroma of spices and a taste to match that, though it seemed a bit watery to me. Probably because it was late September and it is supposed to be a Spring beer. meh.

Oct 15, 2009 Pleasant lemon-hinted herbal pilsener malt aroma, coupled with some sweet phenol and herb tones, leaking through from spice additions. Pours a well-hazed dark peachy-gold, with an off-white head, low. Flavors echo the aroma, adding a crackery, wheat-like depth. There’s more distinct near-metallic pilsener malt character, indicating some age to this bottle. Gummy hops and juicyfruit yeast byproducts add complexity. This is nice. It seems a little dead, like the yeast were pushed and the pils malt isn’t the freshest. I can see having this super-fresh on tap that it would be an insanely drinkable summer thirst slaker.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a murky orange color and an inch of white head that dissipates rapidly. The nose is soapy and citrusy. Flavors include wheat, subtle starfruit, more soap, and bread. Medium carbonation and lite body. Decent; I probably won’t buy this again though

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a larger, frothy white head. Lacing is average. Aromas of citrus, light malt, and a hint of sage. Very lively mouthfeel with a slick finish. Flavors of crisp apple, light sage, and a hint of lime. Good beer for summer drinking.

Sep 20, 2009 Bottle. Smells and tastes malty and metallic. No head. Muddled spicy, bit like hard candy feeling in mouth. Extremely carbonated.
