| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2007 I don’t know much about Belgians too say too much. I liked it...it wasn’t overpowering and had a nice hop/malt balance. I’d have this again, but I wouldn’t go out looking for it. It was ridiculously, expensive, though...so that effects my rating (even if it shouldn’t). davegore (201), liverpool, Merseyside, England
