earendil (3), Bellingham, Washington, USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 31, 2005 beautiful dark-golden color, fruity boquet spiked with coriander, and a great subtle malt flavour rounded out with coriander and the yeast esters.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2005 Beer pours very dark golden with a diminishing off white head. The aroma is belgian ale consistent with esters, yeast, and lots of coriander. Flavor is very spicy, lots of coriander, some yeastiness, and orange. Finish is dry and spicy consistent for the style. This is good but maybe too heavy on the coriander. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Orange-copper coloured beer, thin white head. Aroma has loads of coriander, bubble gum, and a yeasty spice. Flavour is more complex than the aroma would have suggested, coriander, bubble gum, orange peel, grapefruity hop flavour blends well with the coriander. Toasted malts also make an appearance near the finish. Fairly bitter finish. A nice refreshing brew. nicplemel (19), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 21, 2005 Booo... seriously, did I drink the same beer as the other people who rated this? How could this possibly get 8’s and 9’s in the aroma department? Of the 3 people who drank this with me the smell was described as follows... a) chemically b) "like pine-sol" c) like "mr. Clean". I don’t mean to be so harsh on a small brewery from where I call home, but for a min. there I wasn’t sure I was going to want to drink this. When I did I felt like I was drinking watered down version of Dick’s Grand Cru. Like I said I really hate being this hard on a local so I think I’ll give it another shot before it leaves the shelves just so I know for sure it was really this bad.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 30, 2005 Darkier orange with a big dense head. Fresh and lively aroma of hops, lemon and some orange, quite fruity. Tastes hoppy, toasty and lightly spicy with a dry fruity finish. A very nice flavourful Belgian Ale.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 30, 2005 Orangey-amber with slight haze. Strong, slightly perfumey armoa with passion fruit, mango and coriander. Body is a bit of acidity but is overall sweet and estery. Tropical fruits, cumin, coriander are all beautifully balanced with sweet icing sugar malts. Rockinout (945), Kent, Ohio, USA

Has a green fruit (melon, apple, grape) feel and a sweetish nose. Somewhat spicy finish. Thanks to my bro-in-law (Ted) for bringing this to me from WA. Drew (2408), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2005 Perfume aroma with sweetness and spices. Nice brown-ish body, good head and lacing. Taste is malty fruits, spices and herbal notes. Not a bad Grand Cru. Thanks Rockinout John for sharing!
