LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light orange with a thick, foamy, creamy white head. Aroma of skunk, spices, and yeast. Flavor is light, lots of yeast and melon rind. Some skunk persists. A pretty mellow beer. Slight hoppy bitterness. A typical Belgian ale, nice and easy to drink.
Fin (3382), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Dec 4, 2008 On tap at Monks cafe, Philadephia in the company of Loz, Casey and Traci 15-11-08 Pours hazy golden in colour with a thin white head. Really flowery, hoppy, clean and with lavender showing? Good sweetness to this its rich, malty but the nice perfumeyness returns again, with bitterness catching up at the end, very nice beer. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 750ml. bright golden haystack color. pours thick dense and opaque. massive puffy white head is crazy thick, totally huge and very persistent. just have to sit and watch it shrink in order to get a whiff. yeasty belgian aroma is backed by sweet butterscotch notes, and fresh grain. a delicious balance of sweet golden ale and bitter piney finish. oily rich mouthfeel. leaves lace as thick as cake frosting in its wake. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Nov 29, 2008 (10/20/08) Draught at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Cloudy orange-golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus hops, some spice, yeast and some fruits (peach, a bit of apricot and a bit of apples). Sweetish flavor, a bit spicy, with some caramel, fruits, and a bitter finish with hops, notes of citrus and spices, a bit of earth and subdued alcohol hints. Nice mouthfeel. Good. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 28, 2008 A great aroma. A quite meringue-y head. Flavor is spicy and tasty. This is really good stuff. Never been disappointed with this brewery. Travlr (700), Washington, Washington DC, USA Nov 28, 2008 Straw-colored and cloudy. Flowery aroma. Full-bodied malty taste with good hops. Nice bitter finish. Reasonable IPA. Nice elf. BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 20, 2008 Brewed in Belgium !!! Courtesy of AFI96, thanks waylo. Pours a hazy golden color with a monster foamy white head. Tons of sediment in this triple....... Aroma is of lemons, funk, citrus, and spices. The taste has a lemon peel flavor with sweet hops and berries. There is nice lacing, and the mouthfeel starts sweet but finishes on the dry side. Allen (1285), Switzerland Nov 20, 2008 Bottled 33cl. Murky light golden with a tall nicely remaining head. A lot of sediment. The nose reminds me of grapefruit, oranges, mango, papaya, vanilla and crystal sugar - hoppy, fruity and sweet. Very pleasant taste; surprisingly sweet and yeasty components with a good hop blend accompanying them. But a tad too sweet for my liking. Full bodied. Beautiful lacework. Grapefruit, lemon and melon showing up. Very complex. Late bitterness. Overall impression: A good beer. Too yeasty and sweet for my liking though.
