4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very spicy, peppery, and perfumy nose, I don’t typically care much for "perfume" in my beer, but this is a very nice combination; great complex, hoppy, and fruity flavor with ample maltiness and a tangy, peppery finish; oily finish. Probably the most artistic bottle ever, and an outstanding beer!

Warm amber with a small head. The aroma has notes of hops, spice (coriander and more) and fruit. The flavour is fruity with notes of peach, a bit of apple, coriander, candy sugar, caramel and the finish has a nice bitterness, more than the Belgian ones, but just right for me. A nice one - seems to be words at the end of all my Avery ratings :)

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2008 Bottle poured into a tulip produced a small head that turns to a nice lace on top of a hazy orange body
Wonderful aromas of sweet Belgian yeast, fruit and malts
Flavors of sweet citrus and spices (pepper)
Medium to light body
Drinkability: It’s not a bad American Belgian if you can find it at a reasonable price it’s worth the try and yes I’d drink it again

22oz. bottle. Light orange color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is sort of sweet and hoppy. Taste is minimally boozy with some peach and hops to the taste. Very mellow taste overall and very drinkable despite the higher abv. Definitely recommend. 9% alcohol.

From tap served in a heavy glass goblet
Light orange with a nice light foamy head on top which lasted the entire glass coating the sides as it went down.
Smelled of fruits and alcohol with a sweetness. When it firsts hits your tongue it has a sweetness but a wholesome kind of sweetness not sugary. Then you get fruit flavors with a little bit of alcohol and a very slight bitterness - a very nice balance
Has a very nice carbonation throughout that lasted the entire time. It is crisp and creamy at the same time and goes down very smoothly. The flavors stay in your mouth for a while and you can feel the warmth spreading around throughout your mouth and down your throat.
I really enjoyed this beer. It went down smoothly and the taste was consistent even getting richer as it warmed and opened up. You can definitely feel the high alcohol content so I savored the beer for a while.

22 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours hazy golden amber color with a dense 2 finger off white head with great retention that reduces to a lacing cap. Some nice glass lacing as well. Aromas of bread dough, peach, apricot, and spices. Some very prominent aromas here. Taste of strong peach and apricot, and spice; with a bit of caramel, and dough. No bitterness noticed at all, but the finish has linger tastes of sweet fruits and spice that linger for a good period of time. Good balance of flavors as well in the taste. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied. No alcohol noticed at all in taste or finish. Very smooth drinking and slick mouthfeel. Overall a fantastic and very tasty Belgian style!
