arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Jul 30, 2009 This is a 2006 vintage bottled on 03/02/06 so it is a little over a year and a half old. I foolishly stuck my nose over the bottle and took a whiff, the bottle was a gusher and I began breathing foam, shit! The color is a nice cludy, dark orange. It smells slightly medicinal and tastes medicinal and dry. I’m not so impressed by this beer, its ok.

JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland Jul 29, 2009 A bottle tasted at Olutkellari Helsinki. Spicy nose. Pale fast disappearing head. Pale golden yellow colour. Slightly sweet soft taste. Mild hoppiness. Slightly grassy taste. trayns (237), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA Jul 28, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep golden, amber color with a large white head which doesnt last long. Smell is big and strong of toasty malts and a major fruit nutty notes. The taste follows the smell to a lesser degree. A strong yeast presence and nice overall palate. A very enjoyable, and approachable belgian beer, charlotte (1997), Vanløse, Denmark Jul 28, 2009 Bottle.Amber colour with small we head.Aroma is tosted and heavy yeasty,find complex mouthfeels and hoppy crispy finish with note of peach. MrPickles (108), Wisconsin, USA Jul 27, 2009 Good fruity and yeasty aroma, with notes of fresh bread, mild citrus fruit, and toffee malt. The pour was fairly translucent but good looking orange-honey colored body. The flavor is also quite nice. Nothing too crazy but nice as things go together and are balanced quite well. Notes of fruit, sweet honey, plum, raisin, and spices as expected from the nose. As with more and more Belgian’s I try, I was quite impressed. Overall a quality, complex, and drinkable Belgian ale. rosenbergh (843), Helsinki, Finland Jul 27, 2009 355 ml bottle. Finland.
Hazyish golden colour with small off-white head. Fruity and yeasty very much Belgian Ale aroma. Fruity hoppy flavour with sweet caramel and slight alcohol. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Jul 26, 2009 355ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Mid orange, tiny head, clear. Aroma of frankfurters - or am I just sitting too close to the kitchen or smokers’ terrace? Massively fruity taste - melon? Sweet malty body, and a pleasant hoppy bite. Also some sweet pumpkin pie. Under-attenuated, may benefit from some aging, but in a screw-top bottle that doesn’t make sense. Mid-way between a belgian ale and an american sucrose-bomb. Closer to the latter if anything. Finish is very simple - fruity and sweet. Some toffee, some subtle hops. Too damn sweet. Covers 7% well, using the mechanism of being insanely sugary.
