gpekar (221), Maryland, USA Apr 20, 2008 Bomber bottle, poured a cloudy amber/orange color with a nice thick creamy head. There was a clean hoppy citrus fruit aroma. There was a creamy texture to the beer and a crisp smooth taste. Everything about this beer was mild and subtle. Nothing was overpowering, but there was a lot of different scents and flavors well blended. There was a light hoppiness and citrus flavor. The finish again was a mild bitterness with a subtle sweetness underneath. I split this bottle over dinner of grilled scallops & asparagus and this beer paired really well with the scallops mild sweet flavor. Excellent mild, clean, complex beer. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 20, 2008 bottle shared with me by The Captain. thanks Mark. pours a hazy golden color with a large white head composed of very fine bubbles. smells very fruity with notes of pear, apple, and grapes. flavor is very yeasty with the aforementioned fruit notes also present. light spice is present and bit of hop bitterness ties it all together nicely. a lovely beer but possibly my least favorite from Chimay. alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Apr 20, 2008 Smaller bottle. Pours a hazy orange gold color with a smaller but lasting white head. The aroma is hoppy, yeast, and some fruit. The flavor is fruity, slightly spicy, yeast, sweet honey malts, with a slightly surprising bitterness. The alcohol is a bit warming. Decent, but not my favorite. hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Apr 19, 2008 bottle... light golden color with a small lingering white head and spotty lacing. aromas of lots of yeast, spiciness, dried apricots and fresh flowers. sweetness hits the palate first but is soon followed by dry yeast and a lightly bitter finish. the flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma... a little sweet for my liking. medium body with airy carbonation which gives it a creamy soft mouth feel... blipp (1631), Newark, New Jersey, USA Apr 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Ripe fruit in the aroma, orange, peach, apricot and maybe even raspberry, as well as yeast. Medium body, very smooth. Flavor is tart and sweet, with orange, apricot, and floral hops, followed by a pleasantly bitter finish. Very well balanced and easy to drink. This is something I could drink every day. ironchefscott (341), portland, Oregon, USA Apr 15, 2008 a good solid triple......still has that weird chimay yeast that I am not fond of....but balanced and good besides that... holybrew (10), Bangalore, India Apr 15, 2008 Drank it at Sunny’s, Bangalore. Pours a hazy orange. Flavor is malty and fruity. Awesome finish - a hoppy bite that gives this beer great character Ramenen (453), San Salvador, El Salvador Apr 14, 2008 Drank it on tap at Mason’s in Sacramento. Pours golden and hazy with nice carbonation. Light/medium bodied, very well balanced between malts and hops. However, it is spicy at the end. One of the best finishes I’ve had so far.
