mile (1222) - Helsinki, FINLAND - DEC 19, 2010
Bottle. Golden, cloudy, huge and fully lasting head. Moderate malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness and citrus hoppyness, light spiciness. Body is medium to full, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, fruity, citrus hoppyness and light spiciness. Finish is average, malty and dryish – hoppyness and light spiciness dry up the finish. Really fine Belgian ale, hoppyness works nicely with light spiciness. Ace.

AirForceHops (991) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - NOV 30, 2010
33 cl. bottle. Gushes out when opened, foams up with huge fluffy head. Pours with a yellow/orange haze once the bubbles finally die down. Aroma is orange peel, lemons, coriander and Belgium yeast. Yeasty undertones deliver a bready light aroma under the citrus. Taste is similar, very citrus, bready, and spicy with some sourness. Finishes a bit dry, but the aftertaste is refreshing and lingers nicely. A nicely done strong ale that hides the 8% very well.

Neeskens (276) - SWEDEN - NOV 20, 2010
Bottle. Damn that’s a massive head and it sure takes it’s time to settle. The actual brew is hazy pale yellow. Aroma is dough, belgian yeast , grapes, orange, spices and there a nice acidity. More of the same in the flavor plus a lot of banana, and that acidity, or should it be tartness, is more present. It’s quite dry and have a good bitterness at the end that really makes it stand out among its fellow belgians.

Rettep (904) - SWEDEN - NOV 20, 2010
Bottle. Hazy golden with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma: fruit, spices, quite a low yeastiness, and some ripe banana. Taste: spices, fruit, tangerines, oranges, brown sugar, some yeast, quite sweet with a medium bitterness. Medium full body, fizzy mouthfeel. A fruity and balanced, very drinkable belgian.
