3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet peachy and malty aroma. Tons of thick sediment and yellow orange color. Very fruity and sweet from start to finish, not too much hop presence. Thin-medium body. Well-rounded beer.

750 ml 02/2007 bottle split in Westmalle glass. Hazy straw with lasting flat white head. Spicy citrus lemon bread yeasty aroma. Subtle honey sweetness with medium ripe melon peachy fruit enticing underlying hop bitterness and spicy dry finish. Nicely complex. Wow. This is just how I like them. No alcohol presence in flavor. Medium body, effervescent carbo texture. Nice mouthfeel. An excellent beer and a new fave. No excuses, I just love this. What a great surprise.

Pale gold with a thick white head. High bead. Mostly clear with a few particles. Orange blossom aroma with grass and cloves. Fruity sweetness has candied oranges, apricots and vanilla before striking drying grassy bitterness. Quite noticeable alcohol. No great depth but a nice firm brut Champagne-like finish.

I had trouble getting this one to stop foaming. Gold color, slightly hazy, with a frothy white head. Floral aroma, rich in yeast and light Belgian candi sugar. Flavor is dry, some from the hops but mostly from the alcohol. Dry finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting by Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a hazy, orangy straw color with a white, foamy head and clingy, web-like lacing. The aroma was light yeast, sweet white wine, apple and pear. The flavor added some smooth malt, sweetness, lurking alcohol warmth, lively carbonation, prickly mouthfeel and a dry finish. Very nice
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy amber under a large rocky island off white head generating some nice lace. Final sediment splodge forms an amazing swirling dark inverse mushroom cloud as it slowly descends through the beer as a 5mm thick layer. (this shows you really need to hold beers up at eye level to check them out). Celery, that ’tangy thang’ that smells like powderd chicken noodle soup, faint fresh fruit, sharp hops, alcohol and pig farm manure yeast. Medium strong body. Flavours are a liquid rendition of the aroma with added strong bitter leaving the palate somewhat unbalanced. A bit (not a lot) more sweet would have helped considerably. The only flavours really competing with the high ABV are the yeast and bitter. I dunno I didn’t get any fruit in the flavour that other raters seem to get. I was expecting a bit more from this one and overall I have to say I was somewhat disappointed.
