Lubiere (4464), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 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 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 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. Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA 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 (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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.
Hairofthedog (419), San Diego, California, USA Apr 11, 2006 The beer poured a cloudy brownish orange w/ thick lasting head and lacing. The aroma was full of light fruit, spice, honey, and lemons. The flavor was lemony, honey, light fruit, and coriander. The mouthfeel was light bodied and lightly carbonated. Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA Mar 14, 2006 Hazy golden hue with a frothy white head. Woderful lacing. aromas of pine, banana, light hops and spices. Flavors of wheat, honey and nice yeasty finish. Almost creamy on the palate
hopscotch (5440), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Mar 11, 2006 Bottle... Very murky, golden ale with a mid-sized, fluffy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Earthy, spicy, woodsy nose with notes of cobwebs, leather, bread and lye soap. Well-balanced flavor... just a touch on the bitter side. Steady malt. Mildly spicy, tangy, and earthy with minor notes of sea salt and white pepper. Medium-bodied with an astringent mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Finishes lightly bitter and bone dry.
