3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Poured an orange caramel hue with a thin head. Nose is fruity with some candied sugars. Drank this blind, was like a triple. Creamy mouthful with some nice depth of flavors. Some nice fruit notes add a touch of sweetness but this is very drinkable and a nice take on the style.

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Beautiful golden/amber liquid. Nice creamy finger and a half of head with great retention. Decent lacing.
Big yeasty bread smell. Candy sugars and maltiness. Peaches and pears, maybe a hint of nectarines. Spicey notes of coriander and nutmeg.
Yeast, malt and candy sugars. Citrus flavors, light and sweet. Pecan nuttiness. Slight peppery spice. Light floral hop quality.
Very nice body. Creamy and smooth, yet not overly heavy.
Excellently drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottled) Poured golded and lightly hazy. Head was medium sized and white. Aroma was of hops, fruitiness and honey. Palate was medium bodied and a little bit dry with medium carbonation. Fruitiness, honey, hops, bitterness, grass and little bit of teabag could be found from the taste. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours pale gold with thick, creamy white head and slight haze. Decent lacing. Aroma is candied apples, fresh baked banana bread & all spice. Flavor is honey, apricots, bubble gum and warm alcohol. Crisp warm finish with moderate carbonation. Not my bag, but a solid strong Belgian.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy golden orange color with a thin off-white head that quickly fades into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing.
Estery golden fruit aroma with hints of grape, apple and pear with some crisp floral hop notes and alcohol.
Crisp spicy medium body with a lot of estery light fruit notes, floral hops, slightly creamy body, subtle hops and alcohol warmth. Smooth, quaffable and pretty drinkable. Hints of peppery spice, crisp citrus and light fruit notes. I’m picking up estery apple and pear with some orange peel, subtle hop bitterness and alcohol.
