Hairofthedog (419), San Diego, California, USA Apr 25, 2005 The aroma had a dark fruit sweetness, caramel, but thin and a slight hint of nutmeg. THe flavor had dark fruit, caramel, slight spice, and nutmeg/flowers. THe beer poured a reddish orange color w/ no head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light and creamy. Shag (1922), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Apr 23, 2005 A very malty aroma. No head on this one at all. A yeasty flavor with a sugary orange taste. The alcohol is present in the aftertaste. Overall its good in small doses. 11026 (1799), Alabama, USA Apr 20, 2005 Bottle from Styles. Hazy medium amber color with a nice white head. Malty aroma. Medium bodied. Alcohol is fairly subdued, nicely malty in flavor. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Apr 15, 2005 Bottle: Very malty aroma. Lots of fruit. Citrus, yeast, and caramel. Pours a dull orange with little transparency. Off-white head is short lasting. Malty up front. Citrus in the background. Caramel, fruit, yeast. Definite alcohol burn in the finish but then really seems to fade and become non-existant as you drink. Light sourness in the finish. Excellent beer. Thanks to Styles. qdog (201), Cleveland, Mississippi, USA Apr 14, 2005 Bottle from Styles, Cloudy orange/golden in color, nice white head with nice lacing, nice aroma of yeast and caramel, taste of pine, citrus, hops, mild alcohol taste at the end. I really like this beer. Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA Apr 8, 2005 Poursa golden hue with a tint of amber. Aromas of soap, spruce, light hop aromas. Flavars of goney, flowers, pine and slightly meadiish with a medicinal finish. Thick mouthfeel. Jonathan3584 (323), Washington, Washington DC, USA Mar 26, 2005 Bottle from the brewery. Thumbs up across the board for this one. A grand cru that I’d put on par with Chimay blue, at least, for about half the price. Victory does it right again. Lubiere (4462), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Mar 6, 2005 Deep hazy orange amber with a light fluffy Belgian laced head. Spicey yeast aroma with light coriander and strong vodka. Light orange peels also. Sweet candy sugar with whiff of warm alcohol. Some notes of pears and pineapple. Light hops in finsih. Rich and smooth bodied, with a rather quick finish.
