3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JUN 16, 2007 750 ml bottle (best before date: 2-27-09) in glass. Brown-orange iced tea color with huge, creamy off-white head that sounds like it has Pop-rocks in it! Aroma is citrus bubble gum, when the head is bubbling. After it dissipates, more like brown sugar, toffee, and raisin bread with alcohol. Palate is velvety, but slightlly thin. First flavor is mostly a hint of caramel and alcohol, and bubble gum and dry alcohol on the end. Very drinkable really, and better the deeper you delve. But as with the Unibroue Terrible, it is somehow unsatisfying; seems like a Belgian Ale Lite. This beer would be a good apertif, it seems to leave me craving more of something else!

interesting watered-down cola color. Pours with a very loose head, almost like vigorously poured juice. Smells like bread dipped in orange juice. Very cloudy. Interesting taste, very much like it has been seasoned with spices, corriander, cinnamon. Citrusy with definte yeast flavor. Very low carbonation level. Sweet, almost like licorice as well. Slight viscosity, similar to the feel of grape juice in weight. Very good.

UPDATED: FEB 23, 2003 a garbage bag of melons, leather, and squash turning a glowing orange in brilliance as it sat with limited lacing of atmospheric designs...starts thin palated but grows thicker from the seeds of its Belgian influenced yeasty existence...tartness plays of the yeast which in turn plays of the spice injecting a lingering sweetness that creeps along the entire experience…a strobe effect of orange peel, yeast, and cumbersome spicing finishes you off.

A very nice, complex Belgian style beer driven by the yeast. I always seem to find these Unibroue beers on tap, and that isn’t bad.

Pours a nice hazy dirty amber with very nice off-white head with excellent retention. Aroma was obvious before my nose hit the glass, has nice mellow citrus notes with hints of dark fruit, a touch of malt and a bit dusty farmhouse. Flavor is very much the same with a little spicy kick I enjoy with a faint mellow tartness at the end. Medium body with lively carbonation....GREAT beer!.

Sweet, fruity nose (figs?) that is kinda bread-like at times. Nice ruby-amber color and a low fizzy head with lace. Subtle toffee-ish tones are an interesting taste component. Accents of cinnamon and a quick peppery finish. Very full body and fairly complex. A good stand-alone beer - good in the evening maybe after dinner.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2006 bottle-really not my thing, but im not going to give it to low ratings. i just cant get into these fruity belgian beers. I try and try and they dont do anything for me.
ReRate-tap-wow, what a difference! Very nice belgian character here with lots of dark fruit, esters, spice with a wonderful lush palate. The bottle doesn’t do this beer justice.

Cloudy brown with a decent head. Taste of rich Christmas fruit cake. Definelty has some strong falvors and aroams of spices and licorice. Complex taste with nice alcohlic bite and rich taste.
