| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Golden yellow. Floral aroma with strong lemon. As intended, this one boasts the grassy notes and effervescence of a light Belgian blonde with the pine and citrus bite of hoppy IPA. Seems to accomplish what it set out for. keepersj12 (797), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA

Great looking clear amber with a big pillowy head that laces and stays. Wonderful piney aroma hits you when you pop the cap. Taste is mostly hops with a Belgium hint in the background. Very nice dry, clean crisp finish for an outstanding brew. rederic (1811), montréal, Quebec, Canada

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Bottled. A particularly stunning IPA with just an extra added tweek of Belgianness. Clear golden with a decent whitish head. Lovely fresh hops throughout. Piney yet slightly spicy. Mouthfilling with beautiful malt backbone and just that hint of European yeast. Seems so wonderfully fresh and vibrant. Yummy. HOPSHUNTER (376), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a thin off-white head. Nose is fruity with spicy, yeasty notes. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Flavor is semi sweet with both fruity and spicy coriander notes the citrus hop tones come thru in toward the end. Finishes very dry and mildly bitter. Not bad but I much prefer Terrapin’s Monk’s Revenge. jah noth (1015), Rochester, New York, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Fruity and citric nose with some barnyard yeast, banana and spice. Brilliant light gold in color with a frothy white head. Hops and Belgian flavors mesh delightfully. Some limes and very clean. Rich and chewy with a bitter finish. A great beer.
