3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/2033 cL bottle from the LCBO, served in a snifter. Pours hazy golden-amber with a moderate off-white head that remains and leaves a small amount of fine lace. On the nose there are notes of straw, caramel, herbs and Belgian spice, along with subtle hops. The flavour is lightly sweet throughout with honey, caramel, flowers, spice and pepper. The finish becomes hoppier, with pine and subtle resin. On the palate, it is light-medium in body with a smooth, milky texture and soft carbonation. Overall, this is a decent strong Belgian ale with Belgian spice and significant alcohol that is well disguised. 2013-02-23

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled, 0.33l. Hazy pale golden color with small creamy white head and fizzy carbonation. Aroma is fruity, mainly of pears, citruses and bananas, on the other hand also yeasty, bready, spicy and floral. Taste starts with refreshing fruity sourness, while followed by spicy yeastiness. This beer is very well balanced, not too sweet, but with warm alcoholic mouthfeel and mild bitter and crispy finish. Full body, slick to oily texture and fizzy natural carbonation in palate. Classy, but it could be better...

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very pale golden colour with a thick white head. The aroma is quite peppery and a little bit spicy with a touch of pale malt. Light apple aroma and a touch of herbal flavour as well. There is a fairly assertive bitterness in this beer in contrast to many of the strong golden Duvel-esque beers that are less assertively hopped. Very lean and almost cidery, but it’s decent enough.
