Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Thanks to Joey Capps for bringing this one for all of us to try. Pours a cloudy yellow with a big white head. Also some sediment floaties add the the appearance. Aroma is floral, spicy and citrus. Taste is subtle citrus with some spicy notes. Very smooth, and almost no aftertaste. A little mild, but still really good.
UPDATED: JUL 31, 2004 Tap: Had this last night at the old toad. Pours a hazy light gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma: Flower, yeast, lemon. Flavor: slight yeast, orange, bananas. Very crisp, nice carbonation, dry. Very nice new offering from Ommegang.
Opaque yellow. Aroma of pale malts, marshmallows, a little bit of yeast. Fresh, slightly yeasty, slightly spicy palate. Soft body. Quick finish, with a hint of lemon. A little bit lighter than I prefer.
