Yeah, I immediately thought of a Belgian. I couldn’t detect any hops. It was thirst quenching and pleasant. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Bottle: Dark straw, fairly hazy and dirty, moderate to large frothy white head, spotty lacing.   Soft floral nose, fairly good portions of pepper and citrus like spices.   WOW, wonderful combination of candied citrus peel, flora, and black pepper.   Just the right about of sweetness to balance out with the pepper.   I must say, I really like this one.   Has a very slight barnish, or musty quality too that lends itself well to this one.   Smooth, with a moderate body.   Lingering pepper notes after the finish.   Remains somewhat sweet.   This one hear was one hell of a good drinking beer!   Many thanks to markgugs for sending me this one!
