Mar 12, 2008 Bottle: Kind of a dull orange color with a small white head that is short-lived. Spicey nose full of Belgian qualities, citrus, and yeast. Flavor is sweet at first with light spices, warms quickly in the tail. ABV is noticable. A little orange peel. Thanks Degarth.

Mar 7, 2008 Pours a hazy copper with a brief white head. Good Belgian aroma, spicy and sweet. Tastes buttery and sweet with a crisp lightly spicy finish. Alcohol hidden, but makes its presence known in time. Thin body with ok carbonation. Very decent beer, very drinkable. Thanks to Degarth for the trade!

Feb 21, 2008 Draft @ redlight. Seems like a strong witbier for the most part, or at least somewhere in the Duvel range. Hazy golden yellow color. Big creamy head. Spicy with phenolic components. Medicinal. Cloves and spices. Plenty of orange peel to go around. Smooth and wheaty. Light semi-dry finish and highly spiced with coriander. Yeasty and wheaty.

Feb 21, 2008 Golden raisin, vanilla cake aroma. Bad label, lightly hazed gold beer. Tripel-y. Moderately sweet, tart, alcohol bittering. Phenolic at times. Oily mouthfeel with a carbonated break. Cereal and alcohol finish. Bottle. Steel City Saloon.

Feb 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange with a very small white head. The nose is very sweet with loads of sugar up front and hints of orange, clove, and mild spices. Wow, this stuff is sticky sweet. It’s a bit much. The esters manage to add an almost bitter or dry, spiced hint but it is no match for the candy flavor on this one. I pick up a rich marmalade note and some honey as well. My only complaint is there is too much blunt, candy-like sweetness.
