| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Hazy buff in color with a thin white head. Earthy, spicy malt and wheat aroma. Huge in body for the strength. Ok soft malt and hop flavor flavor but a dirty note detracts. Low carbonation, low bitterness. Headbanger (1601), Aurora, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 22, 2008 12oz bottle-A golden body with a nice one finger tight white head and an aroma of hops and malt. Taste of malt, hops, yeast, and a little citrusy on a fairly light body. A nice tasting brew. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 21, 2008 pours golden with a light off-white head. The aroma has light musty butter, sweet malt and light spicy hops. It has a fairly light body with some sharpness, but a bit on the smooth side with the soft frothy carbonation. The flavor starts like the aroma, but with less butteriness and more of a hot presence. The finish is even more spicy. Decent golden ale, but nothing spectacular. drewbeerme (2315), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 6, 2008 Aromas of fruit, honey and light malt. Light amber color with a very impressive white head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Starts a bit tart. Something like apricots with citric acid. Definitely apricots. It’s bitter. Interesting interaction of fruit and hop. Could be a little yeast spice. Clean and refreshing it is. Something like a light unmucky Belgian. Really impressive rendition. kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 1, 2007 Had this beer on 6/22/2000. Aroma is light with a hint of malt. Color is hazy pale gold, with light carbonation and a good head. Taste light, crisp, and slightly bitter. Stating with a light body that goes down crisp. Finish is bitter with a unique malt taste. 17thfloor (1513), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2007 Pours amber with minimal head & bubbles. Aroma is yeasty and somewhat sweet. I see the category has been changed from belgian ale to blond ale... which makes a lot more sense. Flavor is light all around... wheat, yeast, very little malts. Great summer beer. Very good with food. A good all around pub brew.
