So very good, the name translates into "gift of god" and I got to agree. Beer pours a cloudy yellow / light brown / hint of orange with a nice white fluffy cap. The smell has the typical Unibroue yeast and a very strong sweet apple aroma, the smell finishes with spices and some alcohol, my mouth drools hoping it tastes as good as the smell. Phenomenal flavor, sweet tangy apple, cloves (I think), and yeast fill the mouth. There is a wood and wheat flavor hiding in the beer, and the alcohol taste is awesome you can taste it but its not harsh its very very smooth. This is one of the best Unibroue’s I’v ever had, great beer.

Good ’ole Metamucil qualities. Thick, light orange brown. Nice thick white head, good retention and excellent sticky lacing. Lots of aroma! Spice, yeast, weak caramel(?) and sweet apple. Got what I called a sour-fake grape-wood too, what ever that is. Soft tasting, a wack of yeast and the apple/wood thing. I noticed the taste the alcohol - a wineish quality to it, which was acceptable. Mouthfeel was quite dry on the top of the tongue, had nice carbs, a nice swish and on some sips finished sour. Medium bodied. Good stuff.

Golden and fizzy. Complex but not long. A good belgian strong. The artwork makes you think it is going to be better than it is though.

I wasn’t overly impressed with this one. It was good right out of the fridge when it was nice and cold, as it warmed it’s flavor started to lack. When it was completely warm, however, it was delicious. I drank it slow because I didn’t think it was that awesome. It has a lemony zest. I almost felt like I should have been drinking on the beach in Mexico. Very interesting beer.

Bright orange in colour with tall white head. Clove and corriander aroma. Big clove/spicey/pepper flavours. Short peppery mouthfeel.

Golden without much sediment, foamy head but not much lacing. Aroma is estery, some fruit and a bit of spicy hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, spicy with some warm alcohol. Finely effervescent. Slight bitter hops on aftertaste.
