Flavor is spicy, phenolic, doughy yeasty, slight burnt toast, herbal grassy- sweet big bready malts. finish is a bit prickly due to the high alcohol and the very high carbonation, but overall its pretty good. patrick767 (2019), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2009 bottle - Pours lightly hazy golden with a tw finger white head. It smells of sweet, bready malt, coriander, and citrus esters. The flavor is of sweet Belgian malt that buries the 10% abv along with yeasty fruit notes. It’s medium to full bodied and bubbly with a dry finish. Very nice. I see it’s a little over three years old. It’s holding up just fine so far. I wouldn’t be afraid to keep the bottle longer if you have one. jeremytoni (1089), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

Apparence orange ambré avec peu de mousse et une bonne carbonation. Arômes d’agrumes, de mangues, fructose et madère. Goût de caramel, madère, coriande, alcool et gingembre avec une touche de poivre. Le tout ce joue d’équilibre et de finesse. thewolf (5725), Kolding, Denmark

vintage 2006]
On the bus to ZBF. Pours clear golden with a small frothy, off-white head that soon becomes a thin film. Lots of bubbles in the liquid. Aroma has apples, some viniousness, yeasty and malts. High carbonation with a fine, frothy mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly vinious, no indication of oxidation, good dryness, yeast and a little hops. Malt, apples, oranges and a slight vanilla note finish it off nicely.
