3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bouteille de 750ml. Bière ambrée, la mousse est blanche mais se dissipe rapidement. Le nez est un amalgame de miel, de houblon et de caramel. Les bretts sont aussi présents mais nullement dérangeant. La bouche est vive, piquante. La finale est tout une affaire de houblon et de brett. Le sucre est bien présent et quelque peu désagréable, je l’aurais aimé plus sèche.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear amber with a big off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, karamel and rather hoppy - pine needles and grapefruit. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 200711
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
(Bottle 20/07-2011) Low lasting head, Belgium yeast and American hops (Just the way we like it)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Hazy amber, lively head. Grapefruity hoppy nose. Mid sweet. Fruity with a bit of sweat, funk and hay. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Grapefruity hops works as a blanket to cover the finer nuances of the beer and creates a long resiny bitterness.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not quite sure on this--it’s got several styles sort of mixed together. Bottle at Sanctuary. Floral nose. Sweetish beer, followed by a bit of brett flavor and a dry, bitter finish. Flavor drops off immediately. Some harsh edges to it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pale hazy amber with 1 finger head. Aroma is slight balsamic vinegar, caramel candy, and citrus. Taste is citrus peel, funk, candy, and caramel. Body is medium with soft carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, Belgian strong ales are generally too yeasty for me but this slightly funky and sour ale is quite enjoyable. Not one of the best I’ve had from Mikkeller, but nice enough.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Rattle n Hum. Nice yeasty flavor with moderate brett and caramel malt presence. Some more fruit and grapefruit hops in the finish. Fairly good stuff.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled on 6/18/2011. This wild ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head with good lacing and nice retention. The aroma is fruity, sweet, tart and slightly funky. A medium bodied wild ale. The malts are fruity, sweet and dry. The hops are herbal and earthy. Lively carbonation. Fruit, tart and ever so slightly funky. Nice sipping beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly tart.
