Sep 5, 2008 22 ounce bottle split in Duvel glass. Clear golden orange with flat white head in just-rinsed glass. Funky white wine mead and spicy farts aroma. Sweet and fruity melon honey anise flavors with spciy carbonated funky brett finish. Medium body, medium high carbonation. I like the funkiness. I am not a huge Avery fan but I like this one a lot. I am getting more and more into funk. This may not be as good as Jolly Pumpkin Oro or Interlude, but it is pretty good in its own right and definitely underrated, I think.

Sep 4, 2008 Thin head of bright white bubbles. Awesome carbonation which dances up the sides of the glass to reform the head. Hypnotic to watch. Light fruit and wheat in the aroma with a bit of tart raspberry and some spices. Color looks like dark apple juice. Crisp and clean palate. LOADS of spices in there. Lots of herbal notes, mint, juniper and some other floral flavor which I cannot place. Lots of strange flavors in there. Probably some flavors of things that you were not intended to eat. Rather light body with a bit of alcohol kick. Finishes spicy and fruity. Not really my kind of brew. Not bad just not what I want to drink.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle which I bought locally. Jesus Christ this is probably the worst beer I have ever consumed from Avery. Smells like horse piss (not in a good way for all your lambic guys), and a little bit of sour notes. Taste is sour at first which is great, and then in about a half a second it tastes like a metal can that was dipped in vomit. This beer is rancid, horrible, and a complete waste of money. I usually praise Avery beers and think they are usually underrated. This one, on the other hand, is completely over rated. But I guess it proves that on ratebeer, if you put some Brett in a bottle of shit, it will get good reviews. This beer is an absolute drain pour.

Sep 2, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color. Aroma is spice, with notes of figs, and hibiscus. Flavor is spice, a lot of spice. After a few sips I started to enjoy this brew quite a lot more than I did when I first cracked it open.

Sep 2, 2008 Cloudy orange, rocky white head. Aroma is defiantely Orvally, with a lot of funk and peppery notes.Flavor is also similiar to Orval, plus some odd sweet notes and herbal, woody notes. Peppery finish. Some medicinal notes, too. Seems a bit discombobulated, with a lot of flavors that don’t really come together that well.

Aug 31, 2008 How does this thing get a 3.15? It is terrible. Pours out a nice golden yellow color with a nice head. Aroma smells like old nasty gym shoes that have sweat mildew on them. Flavor was even worse. It tasted like the bloody gauze that was in my mouth when i had my wisdom teeth cut out. Maybe my palate isnt sophoticated enough to enjoy blood soaked gauze. This was nothing more than a drain pour and I really dont understand how avery can put something like this on the market. They should have done us all a favor and poured it down the drain themselves instead of allowing us to pay for beer for the drain. YUCK! If this is a belgain ale, then this is the worst friggin example that I have ever tasted

Aug 30, 2008 22 oz bottle. Very fruity spicy aroma. Golden in color with a small off white head. Lively carbonated. Taste is complex, with a normal Belgium yeast flavor and lots of subtle hints of spices. Very lively crisp mouth feel. This is a good beer, but nothing too special.
