GarethYoung (1110), Glasgow, Scotland Dec 20, 2006 [Bottle from BeersofEurope] Yeasty aroma, esters, banana, spicey. Full body, some peppery alcohol. jdjuice (203), Japan Dec 20, 2006 Hazy yellow with very large near white head. Smells quite yeasty, with a bit of spiciness, and slightly musty. Very thin mouthfeel, flavors are bland and kind of dank. Singular flavors aren’t really coming to the front. I’m guessing maybe I got a bad bottle. Will try again, tastes wrong. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Dec 12, 2006 Bottle from Paul (blankboy) Thanks. Pours out a yellowish brown color without much of a head. Smell is slightly fruity with some hints of spices. Taste is rich and almost oak flavored with a little fruity and spicy mixture. All in all, not really what I was expecting, but it was certainly not bad, and I dont know if you can even get this in the USA? Not bad. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Nov 22, 2006 Drank in a tulip glass. Nice amber body. Normal white head. Nice hoppy aromas, coriander, oranges, bread, alcohol, spices, pears on a nice background of good cork. Good balance between the sweetness, bitterness and sourness. Good carbonation on a good caramel background. Thick to the palate, alot of body. This was a 2004 750ml bottle, this beer ages nicely and i wouldn’t have any issue having it age longer. daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada Nov 16, 2006 Hazy blonde colored body with bubbly off-white head that dissipates quickly. Wonderful bouquet here: fruit, spice and yeast. The flavor is much the same yet the aftertaste is sweet. Excellently balanced carbonation, sweetness and alcolhol presence make for a very warm finish. Yes, very nice. GirlyBeer (183), Biddeford, Maine, USA Oct 23, 2006 It was hard to get the cork out of this one!
Color: gold, hazy, white, medium sized head after the huge head settled.
Aroma: strong citrus-y yeasty smell.
Taste: tasted like a belgian bt with a sudden alcohol taste followed my mellow fruit tones, apple and orange.
Palate: thinner than I expected, but good.
Overall: it would have been better if it didn’t have the mild alcohol bite. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 23, 2006 Updated: Mar 4, 2008Partly cloudy dark yellow body with a small but long-lasting white head. Light fruity aroma with some coriander leaves. Very yeasty with a light cheesy flavour. Orange, tangerine and lots of coriander (too much coriander). Nice hoppy finish with mild bitterness. Lively carbonation. This is not a tasty strong Belgian style ale. This one scores very high with me because it excels at being refreshing and drinkable. Holy Water is great to repel vampires and attract glouglouburps. JasonG (700), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Oct 20, 2006 Very hazy light orange color with smallish fluffy pure white head. Aroma has bananna, currants, honey. Flavor is wheaty, with a touch of caramel and chewy malts. Finish is mildly sweet, with a hint of herbal hops.
