3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - JAN 7, 2008
This corked, which was marked 12/06, and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy with floating yeast chunks softly carbonated deep orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was mild soft malts and mild coriander. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a distinct Belgian Strong Ale flavor. The flavor contained notes of coriander Salz hops? and vinous malt. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

330 ml bottle from a trade with paco. pours very hazy golden with a huge white head and lots of sediment. aromas are yeasty with sweet malts and lots of hops but some how not very alluring. everything i look for in aromas is present but i didnt find it overly enticing. flavour are big and powerful with yeast, malts, and hops all there but this beer is a little rough around the edges. alcohol came through near the endof the flavour profile. overall pretty enjoyable but not something id have very often.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 31, 2007

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 bhensonb (7131) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 24, 2007
Floral, fruity hop aromas. Hazy orange tinged gold color with small chunks. A rocky white head that tries to lace. Medium body with fluffy carbonation. Honeyed malt with lots of flavors: citrus, other fruit, herbs. A bit astringent despite a persistent sweetness. The finish is dryish and lightly hopped, but not excessively bitter. The alcohol is not really noticeable, and this drinks quite easily.

Slight cloudy gold hue, with a frothy white head, yeasty, zesty, citrus, fruity nose, with some spicy flowery hops, some honeyed pale malt notes, with a faint vanilla, candi sugar sweetness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, subtle bubblegum, sweet honeyed pale malt character, with some herbal floral hops, some fruity mango, candied lemon peel and pineapple accents, with a nice mellow warmth alcoholic mouthfeel, leading towards a warm, sweet malty finish.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - DEC 17, 2007
Hazy amber with a very nice head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of fruit. This goes for the flavour too, and here I find even more notes of fruit, citrus mostly. It has a nice hoppy bitterness to balance the sweetness. The alcohol is IMO a bit too dominant, especially in the last part of the flavour.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 mdachi (35) - Paderborn, GERMANY - DEC 17, 2007
33 cl bottle. Appearance: Light golden and hazy, very sizzling white head. Aroma: Very flowery and fruity overwhelming hops, hints of citrus. Flavor and Palate: Fruity, sweet and fizzy. Has a dry finish and at the end of the glas it was slightly bitter. Overall ’a wolf in sheep’s clothing’. You would not expect such a nice and light beer when knowing about the 10 %.
