From a bottle poured a light brown with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a slightly sour finish.

Pours a striking clear gold with frothy white head. I smell fruit like lemon mixed with pears and flower pedals. Its just a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Wow, the flavor is a hand full of flower pedals. I also get a mixture of lemon, pears and apples. There’s mild yeast in there too. It could use a good year of age. Flavors seem less than melded appearing a bit too bright.

Gold with light haze. Some lemon and yeast in the aroma. Candy citrus flavor with some spicy yeast. Lightly metallic. Nice though. This was my last drink at the SAF, so the rating could very well be messed up.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2007 Draft @ Patron Saint Party. Pours gold/yellow with a bright white ring. The nose has subtle hints of floral textures. The nose stood out as being different and scared me a bit but I didn’t have to worry too long. The taste was sweet, floral and a bit bitter. Overall a very nice well rounded belgian strong.

This is a delicious beer. 750ml. Huge white head with good retention. Dark orange, hazy with very little transparency. Smells of fruit, alcohol and yeast. Taste... less sweet than I expected from the aroma. Bitter with alcohol, cheese, and mild fruit flavors being most dominant.

Nice golden color with a tall white head. Aromas of banana bread, sunny delight, and spicy hops. The flavor is an interesting combination of full bodied yeast and sweet malt and floral and citrus hops. Finish is crisp and dry. A nice fusion beer, but a bit on the expensive side...

Bottle. Moderate roasted and caramel notes for the malt, orange and dough for the hops and yeast, with background notes of date, apple, wine, coriander and allspice. Head is thin, wispy, off-white with minimal lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy/murky orange/tan. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic. Palate is medium, oily with a carbonation between lively and soft. Complex and easy to drink, with great balance makes this a pretty good Belgian Strong Ale.

Pours a nice orange-red with a small creamy white head. Wonderfull aroma of varous fruit - plum, apple, orange and some viniousness and spices. Flavour is the first time you yake a sip quite hoppy, then the at the 2nd and 3rd sips the viniousness, tart fruityness and the different spices becomes apparent (oregano, vanilla, pepper...), burns a little bit - but in a nice way - warms you up...
