3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Dirty straw, loads of sediment about, moderate to large foamy white head, fairly sticky lacing. Pale bready nose,
yeasty, slight floral aspect. Soft breadiness on the tongue, a little floral but moreso a bit of heat. Not really hot, but very
warming. Not as bready as most American examples, but certainly a bit more warming than most. As it warms the floral aspect
gives way to more and more of the alcohol. However, its not as heavy as other examples, American examples that is. Moderate to
full body and mouthfeel. Alcoholic finish, very warming, somewhat thick bready malts, very slight floral aspect. Not as heavy,
thankfully, but also a bit more alcoholic than most. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn’t quite Belgianesque.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bright golden in color. Spicey clove nose. Sweet and spiced flavor with a nice alcohol finish.
Notes: GABF visit a few years back
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml corked and caged ’06 Bottle 1/13/10 (Courtesy of RSRIZZO)-Poured a cloudy hazy golden yellow. Aroma of farmhouse, yeast, and funk. Taste of pear, fruits, and sweetness. This medium bodied brew was a little past it’s prime but still tasty.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear yellow body with no head at all, thinnest lace. Nose of candied apple, booze, sweet white sugar, vanilla and hint of grass. Huge booze notes from opening to finish, sweet apricot and pear flavorful and with impact! This is not meek, and has some distinct notes with bold flavors. It will not disappoint for character, but is it good? Actually I think it is! Palate is very thin and a bit soapy, little carbon. the more I sip it the more I think it may be too full on in flavor and alcohol. Decent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
2009 bottle to St. Bernardus glass. Pours pale golden yellow with a tight foamy head that fades to a foamy tight film with a lingering carbonation. Aroma is oxidised citrus candied sugar with lemon coming to the nose with a malt and yeast as well. Taste is sweeet and bitter candied sugar with yeast and a solid breadiness along with a tangy citrus lemon finish. Palate is medium and chalky and finishes dry (making me want more). Decent brew, glad I got a chance to try this one. Not bad at all.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
7/15/11. 22oz bottle. Hazy orange pour with a small off-white head that fades but laces plenty. Slight caramelly aroma with plenty of candi sugar, a bit much funk, and some yeast. Sweet, sugary flavor with plenty of orange peel and lingering yeast. Finishes on the dry side. A bit watery in flavor and feel.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tallahassee, Fl - Fermentation Market, 22 oz bomber. Pours a slightly cloudy dark golden, somewhat lifeless. Aroma is sweet and lemony with a hint of spice. Flavor is smooth, yet bold, with a spicy, grains of paradise onslaught up front. Hints of honey, lemon and a bit of yeast fill in the back end. Thick, but smooth mouthfeel. Solid.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours deep gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Sweet candi and lemon aromas. Sweet honey upfront turning to dusty pepper in the dry lasting finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A hazy yellow color that seems o emit its own light. Smells like a banana covered in honey. Taste has some banana again, but in the pre-ripe, still kinda green stage. Orange blossom honey evident, with some OJ. Spicy Belgian yeast finishes off. Pretty tasty, would do better on a heavier body. As it is, it’s a little light.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewery in August 2009.
Pours a very hazy golden color with a slight white head and lacing, though nowhere where this should be at with the style. The nose is a bit spicy with some light fruit and alcohol. There’s a bit of fruit in the taste as well as yeast and spice, but a bit plain. Quite a bit boozy in the feel. Drinks alright, but I prefer their hoppy stuff.
Serving type: on-tap
