3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours a copper color with a white head. Decent amount of lacing as it goes down. Nose brings some nice orange zest as well as caramel. The taste is mildly sweet with caramel and toffee. Some citrus and orange, though not quite as much as the nose. Feel is a bit light with good carbonation. Ever so slightly dry. Drinks pretty well and another good offering from Van Steenberge.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Smells pretty malty, but has a nice amber color. I think that I womehow expected this to be more Belgian and less amber ale, but this is just up to snuff in either category.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The aroma has both hops and malt but adds a nice subtle nutty hint. The appearance is copper and clear with the head being small. Flavor is great. It is sweet and malty with just the right number of hops. The malt is lightly toasted in taste that carry through to the finish. There is also a sour element but it seems faint and therefor only adds to the complexity. The palate is thin but it does not hurt this since I think its more of a casual easy drinking beer. Its a very good beer and I wish I had another.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark red-brown colored with cloudy appearance. Little yellow head. Sweet chocolaty aroma with some grainy tone. Medium bodied. Flavor is more on roasted side with still grainy chocolate here, some yeasty-lemony note can also be found. Rather basic one.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Beer Mania. Nice amber body with huge head. Nose of chocolate and malts. Taste of caramel, wheat, toffee and lots of hops. Really nice. Not a particularly dense or complicated brew but goes down well.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Slightly hazy light copper colour with a thin off-white head. Sweet honey aroma with a bit of malt. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong carbonation, subtle sweet flavours wrapped around a mild maltiness. Aftertaste very mild and only somewhat showing the flavour. Overall, not great for a belgie and should be overlooked. I bought this 33 cL bottle at Green's Beverages in Atlanta, Georgia and sampled it on 27-September-2003.
