radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA 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. Suttree (2702), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA 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. 00cobraR (1096), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA 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 savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA 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. craftbeerdesign (731), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Aug 29, 2008 bomber. pours a brilliant golden with a solid white fluffy head. aromas of yeast (Brett) and not much else. nice and peppery on the front of the palate with an overall soft feel. I’m not getting any fig within this one as the label declares. solid finish with the yeast and tartness coming through. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA Aug 29, 2008 This was weird, very spicy, yeasty, and saisonesque. I’m not sure if i would have it again, but it was a very interesting tasting experience. I didnt care for the pepper vibe to it, but all in all it was a fun time drinking this beer. joergen (8430), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 29, 2008 Bottle.
Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head.
Aroma of fruits and brett with notes of spices and pine apples.
Fruity flavour of spices and brett with notes of yeast and hops.
Hoppy and bretty finish.
Refreshing. oberabcbbsok (686), Hoboken, Belgium Aug 28, 2008 On draft at avery brewery. Nice and good tasting, medium bodied and not too strong. I liked it
