| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Thank you to Naka for sharing! Cloudy gold with a rich, frothy, strong white head that has great retention. Fragrant, floral, peppery wheat aroma with some banana, clove, citric and bleach notes. Clean, crisp, light and refreshing taste. Great wheat malt flavor with nice, subtle sweet and spicy notes. Lots bread and ginger. I like this brew because it’s complex, interesting and creative, yet quite sessionable and refreshing. Gooooood stuff.. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA

Thin body, watery with good lacing. Sessionible Belgian. . . kind of an oxymoron. Tasty, fruity Belgian Pale Ale kind of thing. gary07734 (408), Tyne & Wear, England
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jun 29, 2008 0.33l bottle in Bruges cafe, Newcastle.
Pale murky gold ale with lots of carbonation. Taste and smell are lager-ish, some hops, wheat and a sour finish not much balance to the sourness.
Certainly I’ve had better similar blonde ales.
