kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Feb 5, 2008 Pours a pale golden/cloudy brown with a huge frothy white head and nice lacing. Very grainy aroma with some citrus and doughy yeast. Flavor has a more pronounced yeast element as well as peppar and sugary sweet. Very thick mouthfeel. Medium bodied, long yeasty finish. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 3, 2008 Pours a fully clouded orange brown with a nice off white head. Nose is full of funk and spices. Touch of orange peel on there it seems as well. Touch of cotton candy. Flavor is bringing the funk. Sugar and yeast are kicking up and spices are in full swing. You might as well pull out the fork and knife and mix up some nice sides with this one. Feel is thick with a big carbonation. Liquid has a good body as well. Just coats the mouth. Overall very drinkable. A powerful and robust brew that has a mass of complexities. If you can’t handle a thick mouthful, then you might not want to bother with this one. If you can handle it, then sip with extreme pleasure.
EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Feb 2, 2008 11.6 oz bottle. Thick head - took a long time to settle. Hazy yellow orange pour. Yeasty aroma with a bit of spice and fruit. Very dry and bitter with citrus fruit notes. Medium body. Not bad, Adenila (931), Denmark Jan 30, 2008 Bright hazy yellow, with a white head that takes forever to settle. Aroma is spicey and yeasty, with notes of citrus and coriander. Flavor is a mix between some sweet almost creamy fruityness, spices and some tart/ sour citrus notes. Very dry. RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA Jan 27, 2008 Pours a golden color into the trappist head with an enormous fluffy white head. There were remnants of the head left in the lacings on the sides of the glass. The scent was very yeasty and spicey with notes of sugar and honey. A quick prickly sensation on the sides of the tounge are balanced by a malty, yeasty finish. A nice strong ale. KAF (441), Coralville, Iowa, USA Jan 18, 2008 Dark hazy copper pour with a two finger thick frothy off white head. Burnt orange peel, sugar, spices and some floral hints. Immediate taste of honey comb, and later some bread with an alcohol after taste that leaves a slight tingling in the mouth. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jan 16, 2008 11.2 oz bottle-A hazy yellow with a huge head and lots of carbonation. Aroma of belgian yeast, pears, and a little hops. Taste of this light to medium bodied brew is of the same with citrus(not hops) and hops and finishes with some alcohol and a dryness. A nice decent brew to sip and relax. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA Jan 16, 2008 huge almost uncontrollable head, white and fizzy.....I’m waiting while i listen for the head to settle....aroma of pears and spice....slightly cloudy hay color...very fizzy mouth feel...initially sweet and yeasty...heavy alcohol in the finish....leaves the mouth with a pasty film ....nice enough but I could do without the lingering aftertaste
