3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(341ml bottle from LCBO, aged 1 year) Poured into a Duvel tulip, dark gold in colour with a pillowy 1.5 inch head which left some ’Belgian’ lacing. Aromas could have been stronger, a little bit of spice, some citrus, dry yeastiness. Flavour better, pale malt, some honey sweetness is balanced by spice and a drying bitterness from the hops so it is not cloying. Fairly full-bodied and smooth in the mouth, carbonation soft and fairly Belgian in character. As I remember, better without ageing so I will have to try it fresh again, but still quite enjoyable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
aroma: floral, alcohol, sweets
appearance: a great clear and tasty amber/golden color. A very nice solide rocky head
taste: A medium sweetness taste at first , very bitter at the end.
palate: creamy in mouth soft carbonation not far from british brewery tradition.
I think that beer coul be better if bitterness would not hide the other flavors in the end of mouth.

3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Single bottle purchased from Zyn Liqour in Calgary, AB on 11/06/2011. Things started badly here....I opened the bottle (which had been lying dormant for several weeks) and beer exploded everywhere, at least half the bottle. Colour: Clouded dark yellow with MONSTER head. Nose: Strong champagne here...maybe something from the Vallée de la Marne region. Flowers bloom ripe and there is also some watermelon. Very fragnant nose. Taste: Medium-light sweet, medium-light bitter, medium-light sour. Mostly flowery and soft, despite the elevated abv %. Not as citrusy as I expected. Pleasent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a wonderful golden orange with a very small white head. A touch of lacing. Orange peel and spicey floral notes make up the bulk of the aroma. Orange peel is very prominent in the taste. Mild spices with floral notes and dry biscuit. Medium to high carbonation with slight floral hop bitterness to finish. Nice beer
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A delightful little beer! Pours a cloudy, orange tinged gold with nice, slightly off white head. Nose is spicy and yeasty. Flavor really sees the spicy and floral notes come out, with a nice amount of hoppy bitterness to balance it out. A little sweet and floral as it hits the palate, fades in a long, bitter floral finish. Just very tasty and interesting to drink.
