chicagobears (336), Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA Feb 15, 2008 Pours a hazy gold into my La Chouffe tulip. Aroma of tropical fruits and spices. The taste is full of fruity esters. I detect a bit of tangerine and lemon in the flavor. Kinda sour and tangy. Seems to have some wheat in it. Pretty good. kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Feb 14, 2008 Cloudy golden pour. Aroma of bread, fruit and bananas. Decent white head. Taste of malt and spices. Nice finish. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Feb 10, 2008 Bottle purchased at Kazansky’s in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh.
Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is funky, musty, tangy: dried fruit and cheese. Flavor is similar, but has a bit too much banana and sugar sweetness. This would be better more salty, bitter, and dry. TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 8, 2008 Cloudy orange with refermented yeast at bottom of bottle. I should have used my trappist glass, rats! Light foam head that disappeared quickly, no lacing anywhere. Mildly sweet Ale with a sugar fruit taste, hint of orange-citrus fruits, carries into the pallet. The yeast, I’m talking bread yeast, hops, and alcohol mix with light carbonation to give a delicate sweet balance. Very nice. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Feb 8, 2008 Pours a very nice looking cloudy gold orange with a puffy, cloud-like pearly white head. Smells of sweet Belgian candy sugar, tropical fruits, and that traditional Unibroue yeast. The flavor is mostly sweet, with a good dose of the candy sugar and sweet fruits meshing together. Carbonation seems even keel, to go along with the fizzyness on the back of the throat. Very refreshing and not too sweet which I was afraid of considering alot of their beers are ultimately on the sweter side. Really nice drinking Belgian ale. The bigger alcohol is almost masked perfectly, I almost get no detection whatsoever. VitaminR (421), Colorado, USA Feb 5, 2008 Subtle apricot nose. Had a murky gold color. Almost perfect balance of flavors, sweet fruit, with a nice alcohol burn. Almost had a nectar quality to it. Nice and full, with a long smooth crispy finish. One of Unibroue’s best beers. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Feb 3, 2008 Poured from 12oz bottle. Hazy shades of gold. Aroma smelled a bit like wet wood, apples and pears. Taste was a bit lighter then I was expecting. Should have tried this before the tripel. Sweet citrus flavor. Alcohol well hidden in taste but was definitely felt. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Jan 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden, thin head. Vinuous aroma, hint of mustiness and citrus. Flavor has apple, pear and lemon esters. Mild stale flavors throughout. Warming alcohol, too. Mouthfeel is full, lively and creamy.
