| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2006 A sweet and spicy aroma that does not overwhelm but welcomes. Tastes like oranges studded with cloves. A good biscuity center. I’ll treat myself to this again at Christmas time…Oh! But why wait?! fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2006 Draft at O’Brien’s. Orange pour with smallish head. Aromas were some spice and vanilla. Maltier on the flavor. A bit of banana came through the spice, and then on the finish a lot of cookie. Alcohol was somewhat present as well. Pretty good. Lubiere (4480), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2006 Hazy amber lae with a thick off white head. Herbal light mal aroma with light hops. Im mouth, an earthy celery malt with light green peppers and alcohol nites. A strange brew. Bottle at BCTC 2006. fluids (364), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 28, 2006 The messiest bottle of beer I ever had!!!!!!!. I opened it and half the bottle shot up and squirted me in the forehead, shirt and pants!!!!! Head goes quickly and very opaque honey coloring. Spicey tabasco pepper flavoring with belgian cheesy yeast. Dry finish. Very different for a de Ranke offering. bask (305), Leuven, Belgium
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 20, 2006 Drunk 5 months after christmas. Amber colour, medium stable beige creamy head. Lots of particles in the body. Alcohol, funky yeast, ananas, honey, lemon, orange, malts. Bitter but sweet initial flavour, some annoying and too salty aftertaste.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2006 Aroma is slightly musty with spicy/fruity notes just beneath. Orange tinted tan in color with a diminishing, thumb thick, white head. Has a crisp tartness in the fore and ample orange peel notes that aren’t truly bitter, but none the less hold that the peel flavor. Some wholesome sweetness that is bread sweet rather than candy sweet though there is a fruity (apple mostly) sweet twang int he finish. The mustiness of the aroma is evident again in the flavor. Carbontion is medium to low, but complimentary to the beer. Sammy (3977), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2006 Lots of lace, two samples and the colder bottle, newly opened, with strong carbonation was more tasty. The warmer one with sediment at the bottom, was fine but not as tasty. Noticeably fruity and spicy Belgian more than anything, and would like even better in the cold wnter. Sampled at Cole’s Belgianfest.
