4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottled, Bruges, 04-11-05. A warm golden slightly hazy coloured beer with a slim white head. Wonderfully tangled and complex layers of fruitiness and spices with hops in the background this is superb and actually even slightly better than the Malheur 12

Wow, I’m surprised to see some of the lowish rating here, I think this is a great beer. Surprisingly restrained for its abv, very elegant and very tasty.
Pours hazy bright orange with a large proud head. Lively aroma of caramel, spice, some warming alcohol and an impressively robust dry hop bitterness. Well balanced and complex flavour, the sweet caramel malt just loses the struggle with the dry bitterness, especially at the finish. Peach and esters also. Full body and soft texture.

Wow. This beer was an awesome surprise. Lemony, citrusy, bread, and apple in the aroma. Superb malt flavor with a great sweetness to it. Lots of carbonation with some left over. Pours a slight hazy gold with color with lots of exuberance in the head. Great golden ale.

Bottle. Hazy yellow/orange beer, white head. Aroma of perfume, hops, yeast, fruits and a bit poo. Flavour is very subtle but strong, perfume, hoppy, yeast, fruity. Sweet and bitter. Alcohol is very well hidden. Excellent brew.

Hazy orange pour from bottle with a huge white head. Aroma is fruity. Taste is complex and refreshing, with notes of pear, yeast, apples and white wine. Smooth finish. Really, really good!

Location:
12 oz bottle from Norms, September ’08
Overall Impression:
Really interesting beer, different then pretty much anything I’ve tried, combination of all kinds of flavors, but none of them over powering: fruity, floral, flavorful beer. Definitely worth drinking, especially if you like beers with a unique taste to them...
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
*Note: I got an old bottle (2 1/2 years)* Pours a dark, murky blonde with tons of floating sediment and a light, foamy white head. Nose is very fruity and sweet with a little belgian yeast, wheat, and coriander in the background. Flavor is similar and very full, with a ton of apples, coriander, and dry hops on the front and a more citrus/bitter hops type finish. Finish is also a bit sticky. This is considered a Belgian Strong but the flavor and appearance is virtually identical to an Abbey Tripel. A little over malted but it definately doesn’t pull any punches on flavor. Good stuff.

33 cl bottle, pours a clear golden with a nice big white head, lots of carbonation, some lacings, aroma of malt, spices and yeast, taste is pretty much the same, decent finish, nice beer.
