| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 12, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Cracker-like cereals and subtle herbal hops converse with fruity spices in this drinkable, sweetish Belgian-style Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-Voluptuous foam tops the turbid beige orange.
-This does not stand up to the Dominus Vobiscum Blonde I had had right before it.
-Hops are far too shy for me to say this beer is balanced.
-The Belgian yeast character is timid.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 13, 2008 Tap at Downtown Bar and Grill. Very cloudy blonde colour with a creamy white head. Aroma is quite malty and honeyish with lots of fruity peach/apricot character. Slightly fruity and sweet with a bit of pale Belgian malt character and a fairly prominent orange/lemon flavour. It’s no singel, but it’s a decent Belgian pale.
