joss (3630), Garching b. München, Germany Dec 13, 2004 Stoneware bottle
Ashen slightly honeyish aroma.
Golden, low on visible carbonation, lacing creamy head.
A bit of fruit - orangepeel (including the bitter parts), hay, peppery, slight alcohol burn.
Unfortunately also a slight gunpowder and veggie note.
Medium body, oily mouthfeel.
Not overly impressive. Dorqui (1353), Brescia, Italy Nov 23, 2004 leaparsons (4655), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Nov 13, 2004 Golden with an off-white head of foam. Aromas are floral and hoppy with some nuttiness - oddly like some English bitters. Flavours are bitter and hoppy primarily with some sweet malts lurking in the background. Could be stronger on the final straight - the finish is spicy but lacking in oomph. jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA Oct 28, 2004 A fairly decent Belgian Ale, although I don’t know if I would purchase this again. A somehwat floral aroma, somewhat light body, and somewhat bitter taste make this a somewhat dull experience...somewhat. Ok.. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Oct 18, 2004
Hazy gold to dull orange in color, with towering, rocky, buzzing and highly aromatic head. Aroma is citrus, spice, lemon, straw, sugar. Solid body, strong palate presence, a lively hop profile, with sweet maltiness behind it. Very distinct and uplifting taste and a pleasant finish that takes it’s time. A real reward in every sip, and a decent Duvel clone, but certainly not the same.
Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA Sep 28, 2004 Bottle. Slight banana, clove, and wheat taste. As with St. Sebastiaan Dark, it is a little thin in body. Finish is quite crisp and clean. Not bad, but not something worth writing home about. clutchrogers (90), Broussard, Louisiana, USA Sep 24, 2004 75cl. bottle. pours an hazy gold with a substantial head. apple, spicy hops, orange and yeast in tha aromas. flavors of orange candy, apple. spritzy mouthfeel. becoming dry in the finish with a slight orange flavor lingering. kind of a let down in the flavors. I expected a little more. still a good beer. Jine (889), Nutley, New Jersey, USA Sep 22, 2004 out of crazy clay bottle. Sampled some my friend had. Overall an average belgian ale. Still good though
