3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a cloudy golden with a thin white head and light carbonation. Lots of fruitiness, very sweet aroma, some nutmeg and light hops. Flavors are has a strong spice front which moves into a sweet light peach fruit taste and ends with a yeasty taste. The alcohol is definitely present. The beer as a whole is pretty good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
-golden yhellow with only a mild head and low carbonation. Not your classic-appearing Belgian-style golden. Mild esters on the nose. Flavor of light candi sugar with some yeasty esters and clove with a fair amount of alcoholic warmth. A flavorful brew, but they don’t necessarily mesh perfectly. A decent strong golden ale.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crushed with Jakebra. Aight, golden ale? This in’t a golden. Almost barley wine tendencies. Very very sweet nose and the alcohol is apparent from the beginning. Very interesting brew, with some good and bad tendencies.

65 cl bottle at Skallerup Klit. Dark amber to brown color, disappering white head. Aroma is strong fruit and sweetness, hops and hints of alcohol. Flavor is very sweet with dried fruit and alcohol. Nice.

Pours golden hazy, beige head.
Aroma, candi sugar and yeasty.
Taste, malty, thick grainy notes and lots of alcohol with sweet honey. Some fruits (citrus).
Overall sweet with a medium body and thick mouthfeel. Leaves a light apple/cider taste.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottled, 0.65l) Hazy golden-amber with a small, lacy head. Aroma of grainy, sweetish malt, spices, yeast and berries. Sweet and cinnamon-spicy, grainy-malty flavor with berry hints and yeast. Without yeast the flavor is slightly rough with ashy hints, and a touch of alcohol. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. A bit too sweet and grainy, although better with yeast. The label is probably the most beautiful ever seen in a beer bottle, but the contents are merely average for a Belgian Strong ale.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. The aroma is sweet fruity with hops and peach. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with light hops and general fruity esters. Lightly dry finish. Pretty good.
