3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle-nice golden color, cloudy. A good ale with a bit of hoppy to it.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mild cabbage, pastry yeast and earthy, leafy, spicy notes to the sweet, malty aroma. Opaque yellow-gold with thin but lasting light cover of white head. Mild lactic, leafy coriander to the malty flavour with some alcohol in the finish. Definite alcohol warming. Dry, medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Bottle sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The Lure:
Coriander leaves upon a dry soil. Earthy hops sitting in dough.
The Festivities:
Wooden hop bitterness and orange-y fruitiness blend well with the leafiness and milkiness of the coriander. Flavors are somewhat dry in the end, and could be more livelier to my tastes.
Transcendence:
Lunacy is in the eye of the beholder.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: AUG 10, 2005 The aroma is pretty spicy and I definately detect coriander-it gave me a flashback of Weyerbacher’s Prophecy. It smells like a cross between a belgian ale and a summer ale. I taste hints of vanilla and banana. It is very carbonated and has a dry finish/aftertaste. The aftertaste has a peppery feel. I enjoyed it in the first few sips and I enjoy all the punches it packs in the end. I think my bias here is that I love coriander and as the description notes, they pack it in.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very diminishing white head covers a light golden body with tiny yeast floaties. Malty aroma contains interesting pear notes, but little else. Floral and biscuity palate procures a mellow warming. What saves it from being redundant remains those not unpleasant cork notes that work pretty well with the leafiness and coriander flavours. Light-medium body, medium carbonation. Alright, but Heavyweight has proved it can do better at Belgians with its recent line of Saisons..
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured golden and effervescent with a tall fizzy white head. Sweet aroma of apple cider, candy, tartness and a touch of cinnamon. Taste is apples, dry chardonnay, nutmeg, with a touch of sweetness and a pleasant dry finish. I’m somewhat surprised by the low score for this brew. I found it to be rich, well-crafted, and enjoyable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
tap at andy’s, a golden body with a fizzy white head, very spicy nose, peppery and sweet. flavor has some light citrus character and a very smooth transition to a spicy finish. pretty solid body for a belgian, but was a little high in the carbonation department. very enjoyable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
golden color, nice quarter inch head. aroma of lemongrass. very heavy carbonation detracting from flavors of coriander and spice. dry finish

This begian style golden ale looks great in the glass with a nice white head which quickly faded. The aroma is light and citrusly showing some lemon and camomile. The taste was thicker than I was expecting showing some vanilla, orange peel, coriander and some rose. Mouth feel was very carbonated with no real aftertaste.
