3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized foamy head. Weak barnyardish caramellish aroma, which is a bit weird. Flavour is sweet malty with wheaty hints. Pleasant flavour.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
This beer offers an aroma full of the fragrance of wheat with strong citrus undertones. A cloudy graham cracker color that pours a good thick head that quickly dissipates to thick glaze. This beer is very thick and heavy beer grabs the tongue and lifts it with the flavor of sweet wheat. The sweet wheat taste fades leaving a nice nutty citrus flavor lingering on the palate and in the throat.

Poured a murky amber orange, lots of floaties as seems to be typical of this brewer, good head that fades slowly to a thin, lasting layer. Aroma of tangerines and orange marmalade. Marmalade flavors up front, quite fruity, with a somewhat bitter, mineral finish. Alcohol a bit obvious. Sort of like a Belgian take on an IPA. The orange and tangerine flavors are quite upfront and dominate the profile, a refreshing change of pace. Good stuff.

A nice bready feeling to this one, no alcohol burn at all. Caramel.., abit of fruit. Nice one!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
16 June 2005 (Maastricht-Fallstaff) - Sweet sour earthy and steel aromas. Cloudy brown-red colour, good lacing, but low head. Sweet sour flavour that is reminiscent of a Orval with steely notes. Lingering steely flavour and thickish mouthfeel.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cl bottle. Gorgeous looking beer with huge fluffy head on top of a hazy amber body. Aroma is funky and fruity and dominated by apricot. The flavor is sweet, malty and caramelly with hints of apples and almonds. A long bitter finish aids this beer in not being cloying, but unfortunately it also make it stand out a bit disharmonious. Lively mouth feel. The relatively high alcohol is extremely well hidden.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Some phenols in nose, some...orange cream muffin, some...cranberry jelly, some...sourdough bread. Overall abit heavy on the alcohol taste and the flavors are not integrated. Not entirely unlike a syrup and alcohol-laced tea eaten with neutral-flavored crackers. Am setting a few of these by to age. I sense some potential.

Cloudy amber pour with a ring of white lace. Aroma of fruits and yeast. Flavor of fruits and yeast. The body is light with a powdery texture and strong carbonation.
