3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale golden color with a tremendously large head. Interesting, inviting aroma of yeast, lemon, sourness, and spices. Lots of pepper on the tongue with a little fruity flavor. Good carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330 mL gusher. Pours a hazy light orange with a two-finger, extremely pillowy, white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Wow this looks beautiful. Aroma is sour apples, peaches, Brett, candi sugar, lemon zest, some funk. Taste is a bit of a letdown: some creamed corn, grainy malt, maize, millet, but also some dry saison-like citrus and potpourri flavors and some black pepper. Perhaps an infected bottle?
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy golden our, huge white head. Lemon zest, grass, banana, pepper, light fruits, and some biscuity malts. A nice drinkable belgian ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
pours a hazy golden yellow-orange, with lots of carbonation, a very large egg-shell head, and good lacing.
smell is of sweet fruits, yeast, and a touch of sour malts.
taste is fizzy, sour malt, sweet fruits, peach, and apricot, ends dry, a little sour, and a little bitter.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Golden color with a nice longlasting head. Appearance is a bit hazy. Aroma is not all that noticeable and overwhelming. Flavor is very bitter, indeed a bit like orange zest. Palate is defined by the bitterness which slowly fades away in the mouth. Not the beer I expected it to be.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Thick, hazy orange brown with fluffy, cumulus cloud-like head. Aroma of a grassy meadow on a summer afternoon. Initial flavor is citrus, followed by pepper and malt. Nice bitter finish. Definitely worth seeking out.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy dark blond colour with massive foam head. Sweet, juicy aroma reminds me of orange zest. Massive carbonation pushes the bitter, zesty flavour around the mouth.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to Savvy1982 for picking this one up for me! Pours a hazy yellow with a large rocky white head. Aroma is very classically Belgian, styrian goldings and yeast. Bananas, mangoes, oranges, lemons, pepper, bubblegum, and white bread on nose. This beer tastes really nothing like the nose would lead you to believe it would taste. There is some initial fruit (pears and banana), but then it goes into a black licorice and tar mid-palate. As it warms some fruit show up in the mid palate through the tar. Nice spicy peppery hop finish. Carbonation is excellent. Nice beer.
