3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Another wonderful brew from Ommegang... nice dark amber body, some yeast floaters, large voluminous head settles down to a finger head, always bubbly like fine champagne, flavors aren’t as defined as I’d like, but nice candied apricots and light color fruits, bready, and some soury spicing... palate is light, full bodied and tingling... I’ll take one of these anytime.

Amber pour with white head. Fruity, yeasty, spicey aroma. Flavor is a bit fruity, a bit yeasty, yet pretty incredible. A bit of a sour in the finish. This beer is excellent.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: DEC 12, 2010 Orange-amber with thick, luxurious head, Aroma of light fruitiness and mild yeastiness with some intriguing sweetish spice notes. Medium-bodied with an under-developed flavor. Mildly yeasty flavor, but not enough to excite the palate. Light sour touches with a moderately beery flavor. Flavor flattens out on the tongue. A rather uninspired Belgian ale. Re-rated 12/10: The flavors came together with improved congruence this time around. Not a world-beater by any means, but just a solid, middle-of-the road, Belgian ale.

(Bottle) Pours hazy deep amber to glowing red with a creamy white head. The aroma is heavily fruity and light to medium spicy with tones of sweet yellow apples, apricots, peaches, pineapples, overripe pears, mild white pepper, coriander and light hints of fresh herbs. Malt and hops bring tones of crispy crackers, light caramel, white sugar and a touch of flowers and grass. The flavour is fruity up front with tones of citrus but there is also some notes of apples and apricots. Undertones of grassy bitter hops and toasted/cracker-like malt. The mouthfeel is soft carbonated and round. Light sweet and near medium hoppy. Bit dry. The aftertaste is earthy and grassy bitter. Medium bodied.

Pours amber lightly clouded with a shorrt offwhite head that stays briefly and laces a little. Aromas of caramel apples , some yeast, and light spice. Flavor is caramel apples, yeast and definitely some corriander. Complex for a low alcohol brew and pretty tasty. Light carbonation creamy mouthfeel. Spice finish makes it a little dry there. Pretty easy to drink. Not bad.

Pours a cloudy orange with a healthy white head. Peaches, caramel, some spice. So soft and drinkable. Delicious.

Pretty good. Nice and easy drinking, but subtly complex at the same time. A noticeable belgian twinge to it. Love the ommegang yeast profiles. Very tasty and refreshing. A great spiciness that comes through perfectly with the high belgian carbonation. Will drink again.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Easy on the mouth, but don’t mistake that for a walk in the park. Complex spicyness with not much of a bitter bite. Monster head and lacing. Lite fruit aroma. RV will knock you down when you’re not looking, strong ale. Try this one for a night playing uno. The game is easy but the drink is not.
