| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Pours a sticky off-white head with a hazy, golden-amber body. Smells of bubblegum, yeast, and mint. Flavors of yeast, bitterness, bubblegum, little sour. Finish has a very nice carbonation but is also a little metallic. Fun and interesting beer. ladnewton (212), London, Greater London, England
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Bottle at the Pembury Tavern, London, on 8th July 2009. Pours amber coloured with thick, white, well-laced head. Absolutely bursting with flavour with an abundance of spices and malts which then evolve to very dry hoppiness on a fizzy, lively mouthfeel. A very satisfying finish of bitterness and dry hoppiness provides a perfect cadence to the cascade of flavours in this delicious beer. A real treat. MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Is this the greatest beer I’ve ever had? Might be. The action started from the moment I popped the cap, as it started boiling over. The waste! The horror! Into the glass (sadly, not a proper glass), it produced a towering fluffy white head, that after five minutes, mostly remained, nicely topping off a rich and cloudy orange body. The aroma was quite something, with a multitude of spices. Taste was of course supurb, with not too much of anything. Mouthfeel and finish ruled as well. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Beautiful spicy bright and malty aroma. Some cinnamon and Christmas bread and figs. Slightly off white head with a rosy orange tint. Head remains nice and thick. Flavor is immediately dry. Some pickled qualities. Bitter hoppiness with some wax, honey, and sour apple qualities. Bitterness is dominant. Palate is mild and dry on the finish. Continuing with bitterness on the palate for a long duration. Good overall. evergreen0199 (259), London, Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Bottle. Hazy orange pour with a decent white head. Fruity aroma. Quite bitter, orangey, slightly sour taste. This is actually my least favourite Belgian trappist ale. Really love the Orval glass but never really got hooked on the beer itself.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 6, 2009 6.9% bottle. Aroma and appearance are perfect. Amazing head that lingers forever. Taste falls short though, with harsh bitterness and dry single note malt flavors. Far more hops than I expect out of a Belgian Ale. I wish that the flavor (esp from the yeast) matched the aroma.
Great carb! DuffManSW (287), Riverside, California, USA
