Medium bodied. Nice beer. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Feb 2, 2007 Draft. Hazy golden amber beer with a nice off-white head. Light spicy aroma with some esters coming through. Spicy/fruity (summer) flavor with some backing earthiness. Medium body. Lingering spice. Expected a bit more. Bit too estery, and would like to see it slightly dryer. lachesis (759), St Idesbald, Belgium Jul 12, 2005 Cristal-clear warm golden color with an airy slight off white head. This beer has inviting aromas of summer flowers, honey from the moutains, Kellogg’s Frosty’s, slightly caramelized malts and corriander. The taste is smooth and has a lively caracter. It has has touches of pale malts, a tiny touch of butter caramel, summer flowers, slightly sugared nuts and hints of butter-milk.
In the finish there is a fine dosis of refreshing hops that gives a fine bitter accent in the afthertaste. this is a very drinkable beer with an uncomplex caracter. Thanks Joris for sharing this one with me. Ernest (4481), Boulder, Colorado, USA May 3, 2005 Draught, 21st Amendment.

Clumsy and insulting. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA Mar 5, 2005 Wonderful begian beer. great spice and citrus alongside vanillacreme, pepper and clove. Like the plantains served with their famous jerk chicken a great complex banana nose. toffee ,marzipan and candy notes make for an awesome finish. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Mar 4, 2005 1.5 year old bottling Stupendous huge, white head; hazy peach coloured beer. Coriander nose (and lots of it), hops, bit of cookie malts. There’s coriander in it, and in copious amounts, rest is typical candi sugar dryness, with a little extra aroma, reminding me of rosehips. Very full bodied, slick MF. Why do Americans think Belgian beer = coriander? jazz88 (2235), San Francisco, California, USA Feb 6, 2005 Tap @ brewpub during the Strong Ale Month. Golden color with a laced to diminished white head. Strong spiced flavor and aroma, although I was left somewhat disapointed. Nonetheless, a quality beer.
