Brass amber, good haze, fine bubbles, small and unstable head. Fresh, gently biting hoppy and citrusy scent floating atop a heavier, denser honey aroma. An exquisite balance between a mellow malty and a harsh tart taste with unripe apples. Long hop bitter aftertaste giving off some tea aromas. Medium body teasing a bit. ezra456 (39), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 16, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy dark yellow with a large diminishing fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Fairly mild typical Belgian Ale aroma, no surprises here. Yeast, citrus, banana, apple, coriander and more. Flavour is yeasty with a touch of sourness, citrus and spices. Light bodied, palate has some acidness. This is just O.K. HogTownHarry (4002), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 9, 2005 Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy. Poured cloudy light lemon-yellow, lots of bubbles, decent bright white lasting soapy-foamy head. Average belgian wit aroma - sour lemon, apple, banana, sweet malt, spices, ash; not bad, nothing new here. Taste is mildly of lemon, somewhat grainy, stale spice, some fruit, hint of yeast, peppery on warming - very immobile mouthfeel, slightly sticky, dry - finishes slightly bitter. Very bland.
