Aroma is sweet and fruity with nice yeast tones. Color is a hazy toasted orange with a thin tight head and fizzy carbonation. Taste is light and fruity. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish starts with a light malt sweetness that turns to a fruity Belgian yeast flavor and ends with a faint bitterness. After taste is clean with a slight dry feel. This is a good Belgian ale, its light for a winter brew but still tasty.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Ruddy reddish-brown pour with a dense yellow-white head. Alcohol in the aroma, peaches, stone fruit, lemon. Slightly sour. Flavor is a little sour and funky, bitterness comes in front of the malt, which is interesting. Unbalanced and slightly rocky finish - astringent, dry, and chalky. There’s merit here, but I’ll need to have it again to make sure.

Jun 30, 2008 This one stole a few points in the appearance and flavor categories. The color has a merry pink (very slight) hue which I’ve never seen before. The flavor is exceptionally enigmatic: quince, wheat, roasted walnut, toasted malt to balance. Very unusual, well-hidden alcohol.

Jun 14, 2008 A good surprise here. The aroma has sweet malt, Belgian monastery yeast, and dried fruit. Impressive appearance, tall, thick head, and cloudy brown. A little salty in the flavor with moderate malt sweetness and more fruit. Full bodied.
