Light fruity aroma, very neutral. Dryish fruity milky taste, flat and neutral. Mid-bodied. Dry watery mealy aftertaste with grassy notes. Decent, but very neutral and boring for a Belgian.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Handpulled cask (6% version) at several JDW outlets during spring fest. Dark gold with a thin white head. Very belgium tasting, slightly vineous and yeasty although quite clear. Fruity with good body and reasonable hopping. Interesting. OleR (2106), Oslo, Norway
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2009 330 ml bottle, courtesy of LarsEngen. Clear, pale gold colored. Instantly collapsing two finger white head. Noisy carbonation, almost like a lively cider. Moderate aroma of sweetish pale malts with notes of canned fruits and mild spices. Sweetish wheaty malt flavor, quite crisp, due to the high carbonation level. Notes of lemony fruitiness. Also a hint of metal/minerales. Light-bodied, quite watery and fizzy. Short, crisp/carbonated finish. leaparsons (4748), Leicester, Leicestershire, England

Aromas are wheat, bubblegum and yeast with lots of spices. Flavours are sweet wheat and caramel with refreshing but light citrus. Peppery clean hops with a bitter lemon finish.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 18, 2009 draft - Pours clear golden with a white head and good lacking. The aroma is light yeast and pale malt. It has a moderately sweet taste with some light hop bitterness in the finish. Light bodied with a good balance, it’s an easy drinking session brew.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 15, 2009 Normal blond beer, nothing special. Head is vanishing quickly, neutral taste like a strong pilsner. Bosskie (108), Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2009 Textbook blond, everything is the way its supposed to be... except it lacks something. Like its not alive.
Somewhat too sweet for my taste, and leaving a bit too much of a watery taste behind. General lack of depth in the aroma and palate. Hints of yeastiness and citriness.
