10.02.05 Various samples all over Denver, bottle and tap. Special thanks to Facto for half a bottle at Logan’s. Hazed orange-straw color is nearly irredescent below a short white head of large bubbles. Aroma is a knockout, one of the finest perfumes of any beer glass I’ve ever stuck my nose in. Smells like a flowering spring field on the range. Cobwebs, some saison-ish spiciness. Flavor is a blend of apple skins, underripe pear, edible flowers, but it’s maybe a bit underdone. Some honey sweetness underlying. The stuff is just good enough to make me want something more.

Feb 7, 2010 12 oz bottle from six pack. 2009 version.Pours a nice copper to amber color with substantial frother off white head. Complex malty sweet aroma. Taste is fruity and somewhat spicy sweet, balanced by only a slight hop bitter. Smooth, slight alcohol finish. Aging would likely aid the overall taste of this Belgian Ale.

Feb 4, 2010 355 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7%. Deep golden to amber colour, big white (or slightly off-white) head. Strong fruity and spicy aroma, notes of cloves, Belgian ale yeast and alcohol. Fairly rich mouthfeel. Drank it a bit too warm, but the flavour has a decent fruity and malty sweetness with some notes of mild spices and moderate hops in the finish. Pretty good stuff.

Jan 25, 2010 beautiful and refreshing. There’s a caramely, but melony thing going on. I really like the fizzy mouth-feel.
