| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2006 Cloudy golden-blonde body with a medium white head. Smell of harvesting season. Lots of hay, some citrus, candy and honey and that De Dolle yeast all over the place. Dry hops mouthfeel. Although very much a strong Belgian I thought there was some gueuzish elements in the aroma and finish (freshly cut hay and dry favourless hops). Thick muffin like mouthfeel. Alcohol extremely well hidden. 9%!?! You’ve got to be kidding me, that stuff is so light I could easily drink 10 of them. After 8: “Hey bob, I love you man, you’re my best friend”. Bob: “my name is Ron.” henrik (41), Århus, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 1, 2006 Looked damn good this one. Aroma was not bad (stone fruits, a bit smoky), but I got a whiff of prawns that surprise me enough to put me off a tad. Well rounded flavour with a bit of sourness, as well as a punch of bitterness at the end. I think I’d like to give this another go, given the chance (but thanks to Duff for this first chance!!)
