Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA Oct 9, 2007 Bottle. Body-medium honey body with some haze. Very thin ring of bubbles, Nose-stale PNW hops, alcohol, metal, light saison. Taste-soft unsweet caramel, medium bitter, light unsweet apple, light coriander “saison” notes. Basically a Belgian brown with some hops. nuplastikk (1157), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Oct 7, 2007 750ml bottle. Full rich orange-brown color, assumably unfiltered. Sweet, herbal, and a little spicy. Piny aftertaste and aroma. Lots of subtle hopping. Full of flavor, and balanced enough to pull it off in a classy fashion. BückDich (4779), McCall, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2007 RBSG 07 Minneapolis Grand Tasting: Copper color, nose of bright hoppy yeast and fig. Lots of yeast and hop, some cascade and centennial. Nice hoppy notes dance around with the Belgian yeast. Caramelly finish, quite good! I like. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Oct 3, 2007 The body is cloudy medium copper with a yellowish head. The aroma has funky caramel and cake. There is also some musty socks. The taste has basic grapefruit with some bread crust. There is also a little bit of peanuts. Nice soft mouthfeel. Better than most hopped up Belgian style brews I have tried. joergen (8429), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 3, 2007 Bottle.
Hazy orange coloured with an off white head.
Aroma of fruits, yeast and spices.
Flavour of fruits, yeast, spices and hops. Ungstrup (14724), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 2, 2007 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit, while the flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of fruit and hints of alcohol, leading to a dry finish. Grovlam (3790), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 2, 2007 Bottle. [Courtesy of BierKönig, quality tasting @ Papsoe] Large creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Aroma of bread, caramel, grain, toasted malt, nutty, floral, pine and fruity notes. Full bodied with an alcoholic texture and an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Sweet warming finish. Another nice beer this evening. 28-09-2007 GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Oct 1, 2007 750 ml bottle. Poured a hazy orange color. Head was three fingers high and off white. It dissipated relatively quickly and left only a bit of lace behind. Aroma was of apple, light pine resin, alcohol, caramel, and toasted bread. Very effervescent; bit of a gusher actually. Slightly sweet on the tongue with mild to moderate hop bitterness. Tasted predominantly of malty caramel and subdued grapefruit with very little alcohol flavor. Not bad.
