| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2007 Updated: Aug 5, 2008Bottle. Pours with a nice, large frothy head common among belgian ales. Its speckled with little dots of yeast sediment (lees) that look almost like a sprinkling of nutmeg. The scent is very complex with hints of cinammon, and nice citrusy note. The appearance is a spectacular golden orange. It has a very thick and full palate, with a rather smooth and silky texture. It tastes like other golden ales but with and extra element of intense spiciness, likely from the coriander. Overall it is well-rounded, drinkable and yet very intense and somewhat alcoholic. My favorite part of this beer though has to be the name and eccentricity of the brewery. Raise a glass to La Gnome! Maverick34 (698), New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Draft. Pours light yellow w/medium head and lacing. Fruity aroma which dominates taste. Better than I remembered. RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2007 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very murky light amber color with a very large head. The lacing on this glass is extremely thick. If you don’t watch your pour, you could get all head. The smell is very malty and fruity. I really think peach dominated the scent of this bad boy. The taste is very different from other Belgian strong ales. I noted a peachy taste with malt and some yeast. The taste that really messes with the palate is pepper. There wasn’t much in the way of carbonation or hops here. This is a very interesting beer, not at all what I expected. k4df4l (154), DTown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 19, 2007 2005 keg on Draft: Pours a cloudy yellow with a big white fluffy head that slowly dissipates. Not a lot of aroma, what there is of honey malts and peaches. Flavor is much the same. Lightly sweet and fruity, peach and tangerine flavors, some phenolic character and a nice creamy body. Has a much thicker palate then you would think.
