3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours from 750 ml bottle a hazy orange, forming a rather bubbly foamy head, which dissipated rather quickly. Aroma was of orange peel, spices and herbs. Flavour was of a balance of both fruity tartness and rock candy sweetness. Some yeast and cherry seem to sneak in at the end of this beer. Malts and hops, along with the rest seem to balance out well in this tasty brew, a very decent belgian ale.

3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
750 ml bottle pours to hazy amber body. Aroma is sweet, fruity and promising. Taste is just ok with a bitter after taste. Worth a try.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very similar to Hoegaarden with a scent of coriander, orange peel, and hops, but the flavor is much wheatier. Pours caramel with a cream colored head. Again, Ommegang makes a great Belgian with an American twist.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Toronado in San Diego. I have seen this so many places in the bottle, and I finally decide to order it, on tap nevertheless. Hazy orange color with a white ring around the glass edge. Sweet banana, bubblegum and pear aroma with nuances of clove. Bittersweet flavor with a character of fruitcake, more clove and a slight note of cherry on the finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Pours an dense orange/amber with a mega off-white head that is slowly diminishing. Aroma of bread and fruit. Initial taste of fruit and spice. Flavor dries out at the backend and is kinda yeasty. Light to medium body, light carbonation, limited lacing, and light on alcohol. Overall, on par with Ommegang offerings, not particularly special.
