2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: OCT 27, 2008 Bottle. Actually not bad at all. One of the best Belgian knock-offs I’ve had. Carbonation is not too high, pours with a small, dissipating white head. Color is crystal clear orange. Body has some nice yeasty tastes. Maybe a hint of spice but not that noticeable. The low point though is the aftertaste, which is horrendous: sticky, oily, buttery, and bitter. Not bad but not great.

A passable little beer. Not a lot of spice that I would normally like, but was drinkable.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a bottle. This brew is a bright golden amber color with a thin white head that dissipates qickly. Small rings of lacing. Aroma of yeast and ripe fruits. Light-bodied with flavors of yeast, spices and fruit. The finish is sweet fruit and cloves with a light spice and banana aftertaste. Overall this is a tasty beer, although it loses a lot of ground in the Belgian category.

UPDATED: NOV 5, 2009 12 oz, bottled May 08. Foggy, darkish copper with a small head that lasts. Aroma is spicy fruit, caramel and corn. Flavors of grilled corn, spiced peaches, slight bubblegum, waxy apples and grapes, resin and light citrus. The peaty-fishy undertone throughout is interesting. Light-medium body finishes dry and smoked troutish.

12oz bottle, notched on May (bottled on, 2008) thanks to TURDFERGUSON, thank you! Lightly hazy orange caramel with a ring of white head. Pears, apricots, and a bit of apples. Fruity. Cotton candy and spicy yeasty esters are also present. Flavor actually got a bit more fruity, but seemed a bit off somehow. Peach pits show up in the flavor, and it’s a big friggin’ fruit cocktail. Semi-dry finish with bitterness peaking around a 1 to 2. Pretty low carbonation with a medium body. Too much sweet and overripened fruit is going on here, though it wasn’t bad, by any means.
