Dec 5, 2005 Light Golden Brown Coloring. Candy Sugar Aroma. Sweet Candy Notes with Alcohol Warming. Light Wheat and Yeast Background. Overall a Very Sweet But Still Tasty Concoction.

Oct 17, 2005 Shining golden hue wearing a slight haze and a diminishing white head. Québec’s barley sugar, candied caramel apples, clover honey and various herbs form an undecided aroma forgetting the notion of focus and going strong on yeast (doughy and estery), malts and hops. Full bodied, lots of malt(and alcohol) in there, the carbonation being perhaps a bit limited for a belgian style. Seriously sweet for such a hoppy beer. Every ingredient provides packs of flavors, they remain surprisingly in communion if not transcendent or spectacular in their balance. A karmeliet without the class nor restraint. I’d gladly have a full-size portion at the pub.

Golden amber, thin head. Very sweet aroma with some yeast and a bit of fruit. Rich sweet sugary malty flavor with light-to-medium hop bitterness and some grass. Thick palate. Could use a touch more hop finish. Still, a very fine effort.

Oct 8, 2005 Clear light gold color with no head. Aroma is missing. A surprisingly sweet wheat taste comes through right away. Candy sugar on the side with some grass and yeast. Not too shabby.

Oct 4, 2005 Light gold and mostly clear. Intensely sweet malts, with notes of rock candy, honey, and caramel. Fantastic hop aromas, with herbs, flowers, and honey. Slightly grassy bitterness to cleave off the sweetness. Really tasty trip.
