| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 28, 2009 bottle at the Ft Wayne locals tasting courtesy of thedm and hotstuff - Pours golden with an ample white head. The aroma is of pale malt with some good citrus notes. It tastes of sweet, citrusy malt with a hint of spice and it’s balanced by a dry finish. The palate is medium to full bodied and bubbly. Excellent Belgian brew. SHIG (2051), Aviano, Italy

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 8, 2008 Sweet, first one to rate this beer! On tap @ Hamilton’s Tavern San Diego. Pours a deep lightly hazed gold with a slight orange hue. I think the best nose of any beer I’ve sampled to date. Aromas of candied fruits and some spice, hard to describe. The 10% is hidden very well, I hope this is still on tap next time I’m at Hamilton’s!! DaSilky1 (2033), San Diego, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2008 very softy hazed but almost transparent dark yellow with what starts as a large white topping but which settles thin, whispy white. Sweet, old citrus, hay-like nose with a distant gingerbread/anise touch. More sweet old-citrus flavors with boozy, grassy, almost off-putting/malt-liqour like characterstics...the sweet carries the flavors throughout...hay, citrus, and booze. everywhere. Big heavy, thick, sweet body...bloating... AmEricanbrew (2021), Almost, Texas, USA

Big yeasty, earthy belgian spice aromas. medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice fruity sweet, yeasty estery flavors of peaches, mangos, and earthy papaya flesh is nicely complex. The 10% is well hidden here. Very good. mar (1985), Dallas, Texas, USA
