presario (2497), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Dec 22, 2007 Bottle. Great thick meringue head on hazy dark yellow. Delicate peppery spice nose. Highly spiced flavour. First taste seems mild then the aftertaste grows and grows. Hints of vanilla, pepper and banana. Second sip and all the flavours come together. Could get drunk night after night on this, tastes better each sip. GreatLibations (1327), Sasquatcho, Arizona, USA Sep 25, 2008 Slightly hazed and tawny in color with a tall lingering frothy head. Superb lacing. Aromas of citrus and stonefruit nectar. Medium weight on the palate with excellent carbonation creating an expansion on the palate with a fluffy softness. Dry yet fruity with flavors of citrus and banana gum spice. A strict peachpit bittering component rips through every sip like a sword leaving a bitterness on the tongue. The finish is perfect. This beer is rich yet balanced. nuplastikk (509), USA Nov 28, 2008 11.5oz bottle, five dollars for a single of this at stores in DC. Ouch. Having been to Dieu du Ciel, I have the fullest respect for them however. Cloudy golden orange color, very nice. Big head, still waiting for it to die down. Hops and Belgian yeast in the aroma. The creaminess of a good Belgian Ale with lots of hoppy freshness on top of it. Oh, to live in Montreal. This beer is awesome! Boutip (1855), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Dec 18, 2007 Bottle: Poured a deep dirty yellow color ale with a huge foamy head with perfect retention and some great lacing. Aroma of noble dry hops with some nice Belgian style malt. Taste is really dry and is totally dominated by some floral and dry hops with a nice Belgian malt structure. Body is above average with some limited filtration and perfect carbonation for the style. I believe we are just missing some wild yeast and we would have a perfect score. tupalev (2337), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 6, 2008 Bottle. Nice golden yellow pour with a slight haze, good size fluffy white head with great lacing. Very strong spicy aroma with some candy like sugar sweetness. Wonderful taste! Soft floral notes giving way to lots of spice, coriander and clove, and finishes with a sharp bitterness. Incredible foamy soft mouthfeel really lets you take it all in and accentuates the flavours that are here. Wow, this is really good. I wish I had a chance to try this at the brewpub - I have never seen it on until the bottles came out. Incredible;e, knocked my socks off.
