LarsEngen (101), Sandvika, Norway Jul 22, 2009 75cl bottle from Vinmonopolet :-( This bottle opens with a very load boom and leaved a mark in roof. Pours cloudy yellow with a very large head that stays. Aroma of fresh flowers, citrus and honey. Flavor is much the same and the high abv is very vell hidden. Great beer but way to expencive. 35$ USD here in Norway ..... JohnnyJ (1283), Carlsbad, California, USA Jul 15, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow/gold color. Dark fruit, berries, brown sugar, lemon, some grass, and figs. Good beer, I didnt think it stood out in any way though. daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Jul 13, 2009 Bottle from mar...thanks man!! This is good stuff!! Pours a cloudy yellow color. Nice big off white head. Aroma is full of yeast, raisins, and tupelo honey. Flavor is really nice. Spices, honey, caramel, yeast and lots of fruity notes. I really enjoyed this. Thanks marlon! IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Jun 29, 2009 750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions; Best Before 30/06/2008. Lightly hazy yellow with a huge (3 fingers) pale yellow head that lasted a long time and laced keavily. Nose of yeast, light tartness, corriander, and golden raisins. Flavor is a touch of lemon, lots of yeast, a touch of honey and bubblegum without any really noticeable alcohol. My Rating #2500! Not really worth the $27.99 plus shipping! Vertical Bacon Strips (874), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 27, 2009 Pours out a weak but solid hazy yellow gold with a colossal thick white head on each pour just as you would expect. Soft yeast, slight must, a bit of lemon - but it’s the type of lemon you would find in light, flaky baked goods, and odd spice and , well, i put down ’ham’... I think ham was cooking in the oven if I recall... The taste is excellent and comes across as a mild tasting Belgian strong ale. The spice is moderate is seems peppery. The is a great tasting, easy drinking beer. Same lemony taste as in the aroma but a bit sharper. Excellent. Where is the 11%? Nice clean and smooth mouth feel with ample carbonation. I only really noticed the alcohol when my last glass full warmed mistakenly. Finishes dry and spicy. armando629 (956), Budapest, Hungary Jun 25, 2009 0,75 l bottle. Poured pale golden with nice champagne bubbles, fantastic foamy and stable white head. Intense aroma of spicies like coriander and vanilla, some honey. Fine fruits in the nose too: citruses, orange peel, figs.Complex body, smooth mouthfeel with a sourish and vinous taste of champagne, fine flavor of coriander and orange peel. Thick sweetish feeling of a rare beer with malt, honey and caramel, fine and not owerpowered alcoholic notes in the middle of the tongue with fruity characters of grapefruit and citruses. Fine fruity and dry aftertaste with an alcohol what warms me up. Absolutely balanced&memorable one. Finn (1473), Tromsø, Norway Jun 24, 2009 Flaske 0,75. Brukt som aperetif under en liten sammenkomst på St. Hansaften 2009. Meget vellykket! Champagnekorken sprettet av under noenlunde kontroll og det kom et lite smell. Lys gylden på farge. Hvitt skum som forsvant litt raskt. Litt uklar. Fruktig & krydret aroma. Tiltalende. Litt lite spruddel til belgisk å være. Avrundet forsiktig og variert smak med litt sitrus i forgrunnen. Glir over i en svak bitterhet og antydning til gjær. KI=6 Rune (2760), Tromsø, Norway Jun 24, 2009 Compact dark green 750ml bottle topped by a cork and a wire cradle. Pours a dense, white head slowly reduced to a few patches on the surface. Pale golden body. Aroma of late fruits and sweet spices. Sweet fruity dryness in flavour married with candy sugar, wheat and subdued notes of yeast. Dry bitter endnotes. Almost full bodied. Just the perfect choice for an aperitif to our party on Midsummer Eve at Finns in Tromsø (23.06.2009).
