Sep 8, 2009 11.2oz sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. For MmmcKay’s 200th rating. Pours a small particulate filled gold with thin layer of white head. Nose is suprisingly tart citrus lemon urinal cake, preparing me for a saison. Flavor is subtle and elegant vanilla, hops, lemon zest, yeast. I thought this beer would be overrated, but it is not. Very good.

Sep 8, 2009 Pours a light cloudy straw with wispy white head. Aroma of hay, farmhouse, spice, citrus, grass. Very crisp taste of wheat, lemon, earthiness, yeast, light hops. Really enjoyed this, glad I had the opportunity to taste this extremely rare beer.

Sep 8, 2009 Pours a lasting, fizzy, white head with a hazy, straw color body. Aromas of yeast, dough, anise, zest, vanilla, and grass. Repeat aroma for flavor, doesn’t quite live up tho. Fizzy, malty body with a dry finish.

Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Nice yellow gold pour with pretty thick head. Straw sweetness, light fruit, and earthy yeast. Flavor is the same, with lemony freshness, a small amount of dark sugar, and same pleasant earthiness. It was substantially better when it warmed.

Aug 29, 2009 Tasted alongside the 8 and the 12 at KC beer blogger’s Brew Day 3.0. Poured into a chalice with enormous, wild head. Pours a hazy straw yellow with white small-bubbled foam. This is a very light summery Belgian - light fruits, slightly sweet aroma, and just a touch of witbier spices layered in.
Flavor is very smooth, not too wild on the hops, smooth grain malts, and a bit of yeasty goodness.

Aug 29, 2009 At the Vrede. Drank it next to the 12 (and the 8). You can’t compare it with the other two. This hints towards Orval, but less fruity: blond, small head, bitter, hoppy, not much alcohol, a little bit fruity at the finish. Nicely refreshing beer.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle at In de Vrede. Hazy yellow with a medium head. Great lacing. Nice color. Aroma is malty and citrusy. Very fresh. Some hops, coriander and fruits. Taste is spicy, malty. Hints of coriander and alcohol but not much. Incredible lacing. Best belgian blond ever.

Jul 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to bhops. Hazy gold in color with a small white head. Aroma and taste are very grainy, with some light hops, yeast, and a good amount of spices.
