On tap at the Broadway pub in portland. Pours a transparent amber with a medium white head. Very floral aroma, fruity, with apple and orange smells, and some herbal floral hops. This brew smells and tastes like herbal soaps smell. Very flavorful and unique, the herbal notes really bring this brew to life.

This belgian ale pours with a deep amber brown body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet, malty and spicy with a slight note of dark fruit. The flavor is very similar to the aroma. Full bodied, smooth and slightly warming.

Mild alcohol taste with some banana, apple and slight citrus notes. I was amazed at how smooth and easy drinking this was. I am always impressed with BJ's quality.

Boulder, CO (2004): Amber-orange with a slight haze to it. Fruity, alcoholic, grapefruity, vinous and strong-tasting. Had a sharp, orange peel citrusyness to it, too. Not overly complex, but enjoyable.

This stuff is great and it is scary that it is so high in alcohol. Very fruity smell and taste, like apple juice.

This stuff was intense. Solid malty body, backed up with serious spiciness from the corriander and other stuff they put in it. I enjoyed this.

Golden brown with a big head. Smells like men's cologne. Taste sweet and wintery and quite nasty.

golden orangish and transparent with fumes of overly spiced 4th grade cafeteria pumpkin pie..nutmeg and cinnamon and pumpkin flavors breakdancing on an acidic piece of linoleum...kind of gimicky actually...but a nice alcohol warmth..

A nice peppery cardamin smelll, copperish , murky, with a nice lill whit head. Corriander makes a huge presence in the taste.

Clear amber color with a frothy head. Some spices-sage, ginger and all-spice in the aroma. Strong ginger taste and like perfume. Way too much perfume taste.
