TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA May 21, 2006 Pours hazy light golden with an effervescent body and a huge foamy off-white head. Aroma of peaches, melons, bubble gum, candied fruits, with a bulk of hoppy notes of citrus and spruce. Taste is herbal, flowery hops with a bit of a soapy resinous quality. The fruity notes present in the aroma stick around in the taste, but are more subdued and mixed with notes of toasted malt and several dimensions of hoppiness. This beer has hop flavors of sour citrus and spruce trees. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a mild hoppy resinous quality and a warming alcohol sensation. Very nice beer and the hop character tastes quite fresh. I’m impressed. I would like to get several of these to age. It will be interesting to see what this beer becomes once the hops have subdued. wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA May 16, 2006 Strangely bitter and hoppy for a Belgian beer. Nice spritzy head and efervescence with a pleasantly hoppy flavor. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 13, 2006 creamy yeast with strong carbonation. Tasty, honeyish and on sweet side, but carbonation on mouth detracted. Rather one dimensional on yeast, some clove tea spice, some orange citrus, Drinkable badnewsbeers (1026), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA May 10, 2006 a belgian strong by the De Dolle Brouwers that is lacking in complexity...cloudy, hazy orangish yellow appearance with massive, growing head...aroma and flavor were essentially the same; dominant in yeast, lemon, grass, and honey...some herbal and floral notes...nothing too special here motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic May 9, 2006 bottled. golden with a large head. watermelon aroma. i dunno. some zesty yeast flavours and rough bitterness but not a whole lot of complexity maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA May 7, 2006 Clear light amber color with a fizzy white head. Sweet aroma, slightly tart. Moderate sweet citrus and floral hops. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada May 5, 2006 Robe dorée très claire surmontée d’une imposante mousse blanche compacte en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes de houblon citronné et de céréales. Saveurs douces d’agrumes légèrement sucrés, de houblon amérisant floral, de céréales et d’alcool. outerupt (133), Richmond, Virginia, USA May 4, 2006 Lovely straw colored haze in the glass with a lively bright white head. There is a touch of orange blossom honey on the nose blending nicely with notes of dandelion and hay. The weight of this beer is brilliant with a soft, round texture and medium body. However, the hops are the main attraction here, providing plenty of bite and a crisp summery finish.
