2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAY 7, 2004 (330ml bottle) Pours a full foam head that doesnt dissipate greatly. An orange body with a sour citrus nose. Somewhat tinny taste. Under-achiever
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
This amber ale poured with a thin off-white head, eliciting a fruity aroma. The flavor is bready with a carbonate mouthfeel and an astringet fruity finish. The body is way too thin.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Coppery orange with a HUGE white head - really a nice looking beer. Clean, crisp malt aroma. Citrusy foamy woodsy and maybe a little mustytasting, Long, earthy finish, that is crisp and peppary.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled.
Hazy amber colour. Not much of aroma, except from a tiny sourness. The flavour brings a porous maltiness and is a little yeasty. Finishes with a milky palate feel.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a smallish, white head. Fine curtains of lace on the way down.
Smell: Pale malts adjacent to slice of crunchy French bread slathered in unsalted butter. Notes of sugar-coated fruits.
Taste: Delicately-flavored, bready pale malts with just the faintest hint of grain. Sliver of butter. Mixture of tart, juicy Golden Delicious apples, pears, and sour lemons. Slightly herbal, slightly grassy hops with a mild bitterness. Sourish yeast character near the tail end. Finishes quite crisp with a final zip of fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Nearly spritzy, moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Pleasant and easily drinkable, but leaves you looking for a bit more.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours golden amber with an off white head. Malty bready-ish aroma with light hoppy notes. The flavor has sweet and bready malts and a hint of hops. Not bad.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
In the bottle. Pours a big bubbled amber with a long lasting head. Not as powerful an aroma as I expected. Body is lighter than it should be. Lacks the complex flavors expected in an exotic Belgian ale. A pretty simple beer with great malty yeasty finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I got this in one of those mixed sixes of random Belgian beers. Definitely at the bottom compared to the others in the 6-pack of Belgians I got.
