Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Slightly cloudy, orangish golden color with a giant white head that lingers, the aroma is strongly yeasty with some bread tones and a bit of fruitiness and hop scent. Medium body with lots of carbonation, the flavor is spicy and hoppy with a nice crisp finish that is mildly fruity. Great Belgian beer, nice and hoppy with some good spiciness and lot
Pale yellow colour, very cloudy appereance, HUGE rocky head, really impressing. Hoppy aroma, with floral and alcoholic traces. The flavour is a bit weak, really fresh, with citrus and apple traces. Nice hoppy aftertaste a bit too much alcoholic. Really refreshing for so much alcohol...a nice beer.
Yeasty floral aroma. Looks and tastes like a Belgian Blonde. Somewhat dry on the finish and a little malty up front. Good beer.
