Pours foggy golden orange wit ha thin off white head. Subtle sweet nose with fruit and sweet malt and a bit of yeast. The flavor has a subtle tartness in the front palate with a grape sweetness. Quite clean and dry in the finish, and a bit delicate on the palate.

Golden pour with a small white head. The aroma is wheat grains, citrus, dough, and grapes. The flavor is much the same with a definite grape aftertaste. Pillowy carbonation and a light palate lead to a crisp dry finish.

poured into tulip. pours a clear copper gold with mild head. sweet hoppy grape aroma. sweet almost metalic/winey mouthfeel. tastes young, needs to sit a little. winey and stickey.

Bottle. Poured into a New Belgium tulip style glass a clear copper color with a slighlty offwhite coastered head. The nose is a blended aroma of slight belgian yeast and subtle grape. Medium mouthfeel with a semi lively carbonaton level. The taste is grape, not overally so but a nice subtle grape balance against the belgian esters. Ends with a slight bitter tanic taste. For 9.3% the alcohol is fairly well hidden and not apparent. Pretty easy drinking.

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours a hazy, light orange with a medium white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is wheat, lemons, and grapes. The flavor is very sweet, with a little tartness. The palate is medium, crisp and acidic. Clean finish. Overall, this is a delicious, creative, and well made beer.

UPDATED: OCT 21, 2011 Poured from a draft into a tulip glass at Downtown Johnny Brown’s in San Diego, Calif. Color was dark caramel amber. Maybe an inch of head. Lacing was consistent throughout on the top, as was the film on the sides. Smell was fruity aromas, most notably peach and plum. Grapes came in strong after. Also some cloves in there. Taste seemed to be similar to a Saison. Fruity deep flavors with dark fruits (grapes) and cloves leading the way. Medium body. Lively carbonation. Crisp and clean. A pretty good beer overall. It doesn’t taste as strong as the 9.0 percent, so watch out.

Sampled from 750 ml bottle and shared by deliriumfest. Pours a hazy golden orange colored brew with a thick off-white head that has some nice retention. Aroma of golden grain malt, coriander, allspice, a hint of dark grapes and Belgian yeast. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of dark pitted fruits, yeast, a hint of coriander and some alcohol. Finish is slightly metallic with a lingering coriander and fruit aftertaste. Nice alcohol warmth in the finish.

Nose of pear, cider, and slightly generic citrus. Light to medium body, light orange hue, acidic. Notes of cherries, oak, grapes, plums and sherry. Dry, slightly stick and acidic finish.

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours cloudy orange with a large white head that dissipates quickly. Smell candi sugar, and caramel. This beer tasted very similar to typical belgian style triples, though I don’t believe it was described as a triple. It did have a hint of grape to it.

Thanks for sharing, bro!! Pours a golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is red grapes, apple, light belgian spice and bitterness. Taste is apple and fresh red grape up front, light citrus, belgian spice and bitterness, and finishes a slight tart and sourness. Pretty enjoyable. I’d like to try Victoria!
