From the bottle.
Pours a beautiful amber with a lovely fine white head and a geyser of bubbles streaming up from the middle of the glass even minutes after the pour.
The aroma is fruity belgian yeast, spice, lemon rind, a bit of pepper. The flavor is delightfully dry, with a fine and only slightly metalic bitter finish that highlights the belgian yeast and cloves as they yield to the hops. The palate is excellent, full in the mouth, abundantly but not aggressively carbonated.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a mildly hazy golden color, nice pleasant malty aroma that was kind of doughy. Taste was rather spicy with a bitter aftertaste. Nice smooth palate, overall not a bad option.

Aug 20, 2008 Nicely spicy aroma and a very interesting mouthfeel, reminds a bit of orval despite not being as good. The foamy head looks gorgeous. This is not one of my favorites but still a very interesting beer with the yeast and hops bringing a lot of originality to this brew.

Aug 16, 2008 Delivers a hazy golden orange body with a brilliant three fingers of foam that is extremely compact (very meringue-like) Nose is dominated by orange and spice with some white muscat notes also prevailing. Palate is medium bodied but seems quite full, almost creamy. Banana and orange fruit notes are dominant with substantial spice, namely anise. There is also a hint of white pepper present that compliments the spice in adding to a slightly dry, earthy finish.
