| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 27, 2003 Fruity nose and taste best characterizes this beer. Hazy dark orange color and a frothy head. Chewy malt body, breadlike at times, with hints of oranges and apricots and yeast. Some alcohol noticeable. On the sweet side and resembles a Belgian beer. ekstedt (2529), Göteborg, Sweden

Hazy amber with floating yeast particles, fizzy off-white head. Fruity aroma with notes of marzipan, chewing gum (Hubba Bubba), and earthy hops. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 14, 2003 Updated: Jan 11, 2004Pours a dark orange color with suspended chunks. Earthy yeast and sharp citric clash in the nose. Full bodied and smooth. Malty sweetness near the end that fades into a fusil aroma. I would never have guessed this beer was made in Italy. Way too expensive ($US 13.49/ 750ml) YogiBeera (2438), Hamburg, Germany

The aroma and flavor are sweet, malty and fruity with a slight vinious note, a little spice and a touch of sourness. Medium to full bodied and amazingly smooth with a touch of dryness.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2009 0.75 l bottle, thanks jukkabro! Hazy amber color with small beige head. Sweet, almondy and nutty aroma with hints of tropical fruits. Sweet, nutty, caramelly and fruity flavor with ripe tropical fruits, especially apricot. Nice almond liquer like aroma and flavor. A bit too sweet. Kinz (2282), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2006 Been wanting to try this for a long time. Saw it in Indianapolis, and I would have picked it up back then, but I just couldn’t cram anything more in my luggage. Delighted that this has finally arrived in Richmond, courtesy of Once Upon a Vine. Medium orange copper brown, small but lasting head. Distinctly dusty and slightly smokey aroma, rather unique actually. Flavor actually matches the description by the brewer, apricots and almonds abound, really not much like the nose. Definitely a note of sourness throughout. I want cake when I drink this. Not bad at all, I appreciate the clearly Belgian influence of this beer, yet it still has its own unique thing going on.
