from old notes Clear gold, effervescent; fluffy, cotton-white head. Candy and spice aroma of cotton candy, peppermint, banana, spearmint and lemon pastries. Instantly spicy in the mouth, steady bitterness, fairly dry, slightly chalky. Medium bodied, explosive carbonation, alcohol dryness, slick texture. Clean, almost regal; strong without being overbearing.

this was my first Belgian ale few years back at Melting Pot, tried many beers since. Bought a bottle for recent party, still refreshing in a Duvel /"Corsendonk Abbey Pale Ale light " kinda way, Belgian beer for the masses...

Not bad. Has a boozy aroma with some Belgian spice. Pours a clear light amber with a big but short lived head. Flavor is sweet and boozy but has a peppery end to it. Nice warming on the throat.

Corked & caged 750 ml bottle #0667, bought 2007. Rating #2000! Again with the numerical milestones. Hey, I can’t put this off until Bell’s 10,000 comes out! So this slightly aged beer pours out hazy orange, with very little foam in my Goose tulip. Smells a bit of vodka. Closer in, the smell is some light malt, a bit of Belgian spice. Taste is zesty and tart, some malt, but soft like it used Burton water. Bit of tart cherry, pear juice and coriander. Then again, sourness has something of a green apple quality to it further down. Alcohol is not up front in the nose, would could be trouble for the unwary. Carbonation is firm, not unlike a champagne. Based on what I read. I don’t read of tartness in any other reviews, so this is probably just this bottle. That’s the chance you take cellaring a bottle-fermented beer, Enjoyable, but I’m not sure how to rate this yet. I think it’s not what everyone else has experienced.
