Nov 11, 2007 750 ml bottle. Hazy golden with a huge white head. Bananas and spices in the nose. A nice sweet spicey flavor. Hides its alcohol very well.

Nov 10, 2007 Pours a hazy, vibrant, yellow-gold body with a massive, spongy, snow white head. The foam sticks around until the very end, leaving patchwork lace in its wake. Pale malts provide a nice groundwork for sweet and acidic tangerine on the nose. A little yeasty bread is also present, as are peppery spices. The flavor is very similar. Pale malts, bread dough, yeast, and citrus juices combine well on the palate. The spiciness on the finish works perfectly with the moderate carbonation level. If it were any more fizzy and it would be a bit too intense. Medium bodied and just slightly sticky. Smooth and creamy. This is a solid beer. Very similar to Duvel in my opinion. Would indeed work great with spicy food.

Nov 10, 2007 Really nice aroma of citrus. Pours into a golden color. It has a very good initial palate, then citrus flavors. However, it has a very dry finish. I would have liked a longer finish

Nov 10, 2007 Thanks Ramenen. Bottle: All I got was alcohol, flat, watery and plain. Thin body and weak profile.

Nov 9, 2007 (bottled) Hazy orange beer with thin white head. Aroma is sweet; bananas, spices and wheat, some alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, banana, alcohol. Very good aroma and flavor, but as I drank it the aftertaste became more alcohol, metallic - thus not as good as it started.

Nov 6, 2007 Bottle. 11.04.07. In my Duvel glass on my brother’s birthday. My entrance into autumn is complete with this beer. A solid Belgian Strong even though it isn’t from the country. I was so happy with this slightly syrupy piece.

Nov 5, 2007 Pours a rich warm orangy gold with a big ass head, white, settling to a thin film quickly. Big sweet nose. Malty and fruity. A bit of caramel, but mostly pale malt. Spice, maybe some coriander, and even some wheaty esters, but very balanced, as the sweetness is big. A touch of alcohol in here too. Almost reminds me of a slightly drier Stille Nacht. Maybe De Dolle yeast? A bit thick on the palate, but in a good way, with subdued carbonation. Sweet up front with round malt. A bit fruity, with a very dry candy finish. There’s some toast on the back end that doesn’t kick in until the alcohol makes a little room. A nice balance between the sweetness, alcohol, spice, and even some spicy hops. I wish the toast was a little less forward in the finish. It’s really the only flaw in this beer. Not bad at all!
