3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
0.33L bottle - $5.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Features a hazed, dim golden body with a very tall, quickly growing white head, despite a careful, calm pour.
Smell: A predominately fruity nose, tropical in nature, and with some bright, fresh florals given tones of spice and sugar and, though lightly, a couple lemon-menthol cough drops.
Taste: Sweetish, candyish quality in the initial taste. Some leafy qualities and a fluttering of phenols follow. A few citric elements, a thin sliver of pineapple, and another dose of table sugar arrive midway, as does some alcoholic warmth and a noted touch of tongue-numbing menthol. Hits being spicy (clove and mace) and dries out very, very fast in time for the heavily carbonated, help-I’m-filling-up-with-gas finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Exceptionally carbonated, pained, gassy burps are sure to follow.
Overall: Okay. It’s interesting enough with its complexities for a dose and a bit champagne-like in texture, filling me up with gas, so I can skip lunch -- no, sir, there will be no need of Panda Express today.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a nice, slightly hazy yellow-amber with a VERY thick off-white head that is quite frothy and sticks around for a while. Be careful when pouring this or you’ll get foam from hell to breakfast! Aroma is not strong, but it is pleasingly malty and fruity and a little yeasty. Fruity, malty flavor has a surprisingly hoppy and bitter undertone. Sublime texture is silky smooth on the outside and lively and fizzy on the inside so it slides down the pipes easily yet leaves a nice tingle behind. Love them Belgians!
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Trockener Antrunk, nur vereinzelt lassen sich Kräuternoten finden, auch die Hefigkeit ist schwach. Im Verlauf wird es nicht besser, die Aromen bleiben schwach. Montoner Ausklang mit schwachen Kräutern. Scheint, als sollte ich hier nochmal eine frischere Version testen. 9/8/8/7/9/8
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Geruch hefig-streng, gewürzig. Antrunk zunächst neutral, dann rasch süßlich gewürzige, hefige Züge, welche sich im gesamten Mittelteil noch intensivieren. Diese überaus starke und strenge Gewürzigkeit schränkt das Trinkvergnügen ziemlich ein. Abgang trockenbitter und scharf.
Zu extrem in den Aromen. Der Name des Bieres bietet allerdings eine nette Wortspielerei.Test vom 24.3.2011, Gebinde: Glasflasche
