Cloudy, orange beer with weak white head. Aroma is yeasty, some fruits and spicys and hint of overcooked banana. Flavour is weird, yeasts, sour and some overcooked fruits. Nice to drink with medium carbonation. Weird combination sweetness, sourness, and belgian style of spicyness. Complicated beer that would need another bottle before the final rate.

Smooth Belgian flavor of spice and light hops. Big head and orange, amber color. My bottle was 18 months old, but bottle conditioning kept it perfect.

Bottle thanks to Marc! How many damn times does it take to get this rating to stick? I think this will be number 3. Pours an orangey copper color with a minimal head.Aroma is mostly of some nutmeg and malt. Flavor is a bit fruity...light fruit such as pears...some spice, but damn little. Good amount of Euro hop flavor, and a smattering of band-aid funk. Nice mouthfeel in the finish.

BPW #91 Severed from a 12 oz bottle that I picked up at FUBOB’s. Appearance is a deep orange. Aromas and flavors are spiced bread and dry yeastiness. The mouth is nicely creamy. A good fall flavored beer with spiced orange bread coming to mind as you drink.

[2008 bottle @ RBESG 2009] Spicy herbs and coriander and sugar in the nose. Cloudy orange brown under a rocky, lasting top. Flavour: white grape, coriander, orange, brown sugar. Sweet and with a weak, herbal bitterness. Sweet finish but clean, low carbonation, medium body.
