jgb9348 (3371) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - JAN 11, 2009
Very hazy golden coloured body with a ton of bubbles and a thin white head. Aroma of strong wheat and yeast with a little lemon scent too. Full-bodied; Strong spicey flavour with a good wheat taste. Aftertaste very strong and leaves the palate nice. Overall, a good beer - definitely worth trying if you can find it. I brought this one back from Montreal on a recent trip up there...hopefully it can be found in other places too though. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased in a small convienience shop in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 25-March-2006.

Dégusté dans un verre de maredsous, bière millésimé 2008. Apparence trouble avec dépôt de levure en suspension harmonisant peu de mousse.De couleur mangue au reflet orangé. La coriande,le clou de giroffe,le houblon et un zeste de citron et pelure d’orange en font une tarte au citron de grand luxe. La lourdeur de ce pain liquide aborde une bonne gazéification et utilisent les épices olfactifs mentionnés çi haut. La pêche, l’orange et la mangue essaie l’une après l’autre de faire leur place sur le podium, qui gagnera...aucunes, car à tour de rôle, au cour de la dégustation ils ont leur tour: au début,au milieu et à la fin.Pour terminer,l’alcool et le caramel se font un chemin vers les 12 degré celcius et maintiennent cette petite sensation de paralysie sur ma langue. parfois, moin c’est mieux!

Le clou de girofle et la corriande frappe. Fruiter. Bonne. Clove and corriander dominates, with some fruity character. Good.

Nez très épicé de coriandre et de gingembre avec des effluves citronnées. Texture claire et pétillante. En bouche, le goût est assez sucré. Cependant, la bière est un peu trop pétillante à mon goût, on dirait presque une boisson gazeuse.

Bought this in Montreal a year ago. I can’t imagine one year would be too long for an 8% Belgian, but perhaps it is. When I opened the bottle a fantastic aroma of absolutely fresh dough wafted out, one of my favorite beer scents. It was all downhill from there though. Closer sniffs were a bit vegetal and muddy... then I tasted it. Yuck! Undrinkably bad. Overly fizzy with a disgusting finish. I don’t even know what to say. I can’t take another sip to describe it any more. In all honesty though it doesn’t seem like anything has gone wrong with this beer, I think it just really sucks.

Bouteille brune de 341 ml. Arômes épicées, avec une touche d’alcool. Robe dorée, belle effervescence. En bouche, les épices (coriandre, poivre) sont très présentes et agréables. L’arrière-goût montre une belle pointe d’alcool.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a spare white head. Aroma of orange peel, apricot, lemon, light floral, coriander, and ginger. Flavor of citrus, spicy clove, banana, and coriander.
