Fresh fruity aroma of grapefruit, pears, apples, oranges is perfume-like in it’s intensity. Opaque yellow gold with decent and lasting white head that recedes slowly with some nice lacing. Fruits from the aroma meld together in the flavour with a citrus character dominant. Overall flavour is sweet with a pleasant balancing bitterness. Medium body with smooth texture and mild carbonation. Intriguingly different and very complex and enjoyable. Sampled at the Extreme Beer Festival 2005. Score adjusted after resampling at Kennet Square Brew Fest 2005 and Extreme Beer Fest 2006. This one is improving with time. Original rating (9-5-8-4-17=4.3). Resampled again at the Extreme Beer Fest 2006 and this one just keeps improving. It is near perfection with a year’s age on it.

Aug 29, 2008 Pours golden with champagne like bubbles. Aroma is fruity with apple, citrus and bread. Mouthfeel is very lively with lots of carbonation. Flavor is drier than the nose would indicate. Citrus, spice and alcohol are the most up-fron with bread and some off, but not unpleasant flavors in the bakground. Another winner from Ommegang.

Aug 25, 2008 Super tasty yeasty explosion (like the label). Tart, with some apple, wheat, and toast flavors. Pepper and spice in the end. Cloves stand out, but can’t place my finger on anything else. Maybe lemon peel.

Aug 25, 2008 Hazy straw colored with a strange head with very defined bubbled that look like tiny fish eggs. There is something unusual about the surface of the bubbles in the head. Spicy CO2 aroma lightly funky with some citrus and bread. Mellow funky flavor, sharp and relatively dry. Nice tangy, slightly papery finish. I like this beer.
