Pours a slightly cloudy gold, with white head. Fruit, light bready malt, light spice and some pepper. Nice beer, could drink this often, but not one of the best.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is of fruit (apples or pears maybe?) Appearance is a medium amber with a hint of red and some thin lacing. Taste is spice, some wheat and light floral hints. Palate is dry with a good deal or carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle: Aroma is fruity (apples), yeast, bubblegum, spice notes, really fruity and yeasty with some floral hops coing through as well. Appearance is a semi-cloady amber/golden with a very thick white head that lingers arounf forever. Taste is really nice belgian characteristics, fruits, yeast, slow hop backing then changes in the aftertaste to a more cereal type taste. Overall, Pretty darn good stuff in my honest opinion. Cheers!

A: I poured into a Maudite Tulip and the head was very lively. It died down to a nice ring though. There was lacing left behind and the color is a beautiful hue of orange / red.
S: Lots of spice in the nose here. Clove, Nutmeg and All Spice are all noted. There is a very nice malty sweet aroma as well. This is a great smelling brew.
T: Love the taste of this brew. It has a very complex character about it. It starts of kind of sweet and spicy. Kind of reminds me of my grandmother’s baked apples. It has fruitiness about it with the power of those spices coming thru.... defiantly cinnamon and nutmeg. There is also a mildly hoppy quality about this one. I love when Belgian Beers add hops and they did a great job introducing them here, they are way in the background but they are here.
M: Medium bodied yet light. Goes down rather smoothly.

Pours a hazy amber with a big white head that quickly fades... spicy fruity aroma with a definite kick of belgian yeast... flavor is spicy and fruity as well with what i can only assume is a pepperyness, interesting... different, good, medium bodied, dry in the finish, quite worth trying...
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma of citrus and some honey sweetness. Flavor is oranges, some caramel notes, slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Decent.
