Nov 16, 2004 Acid/sour taste that is perfect for this beer. Totally refreshing in the summer. Usually seems to have a chill hase.

May 4, 2004 Slightly sour, spicy, alcoholic apple cider aroma with notes of bitter orange. Golden amber coloured body with thin but dense white head that lasts nicely. Oranges carry through to the sweet, biscuity flavour more-so than apples. Some citrusy lemon also notable. Creamy medium body with slightly prickly mouthfeel. Restrained but exciting. This is a mild yet enticing Belgian Strong. Very easy to drink... Enjoyed it cold - as it warms up, diacetyl becomes very noticeable in both the aroma and flavour. I would bump down aroma by two, flavour by four points,palate by two and overall by four because of this. Score as rated splits the difference - originally - 6,4,7,4,13=3.4. Drink it cold - at warmer temperatures, not so good - 4,4,3,2,9=2.2. Bottle.

Apr 30, 2004 The nose was interesting with green apples, chocolate, earthy notes and just a hint of cotton candy. The taste is of green apples, sour malt and an astringent finish. To me it seemed like a brown ale, but maybe I am out of it.

Jul 28, 2003 (66o ml bottle) Pours a medium, creamy, quick dissipating, almond head and a cloudy copper body. Aroma of sweet malt, strong whiskey and oranges. Somewhat contrast thin body and tart flavour to the aroma. Light, biting alcohol, mid-palate of a sour port and bouncing market fruit - oranges and apples. Finish of a sour apple cider...

Jan 3, 2003 Poured, this beer is dark brown with a thin head with no legs (doesn’t last). It has a good strong malt backbone, with some strange spicing rising to the palate. Certainly sweet orange peels, but others, perhaps some cinamin, and some cloves but everything is at the edge of perception, more like a suggestion...
