Aug 31, 2009 Excellent Belgian with a complex, well-melded flavor. The beer pours a cloudy golden color with thick, rich head. There’s plenty of lacing. The aroma is excellent. I was surprised to find authentic, excellent Belgian ale aromas and flavor. The aroma is mostly spice, cloves and coriander seed. The flavor is a strong kick of candied apricot and sweet caramel. It’s earthy and more complex than the majority of American made Belgian-style ales. It’s accessible and very easy to like. Drinkability is great. The alcohol is barely felt, except as a pleasant warming sensation. The sweetness is delicious and never overbearing. It’s an excellent beer.

Aug 29, 2009 750 ml. Lightly hazy, pale orange-golden with a large head that settles to a lasting spit. Crunchy lacing. Nose is bready yeast, spicy citrus, and waxy honeycomb. Flavors are similar with a touch of white wine grapes and resin on the finish. Light body is a little too airy and frothy for my tastes, but well dried, tingly and warming on the nice finish. This bottle says 11% abv and it is fairly well hidden.

Aug 23, 2009 Pours golden with nice white head which leaves pretty lacing on the glass. Coriander heavy with berry fruit there as well. Alcohol quite present in aroma and a warmth to taste, quite enjoyable. Authentic fruity flavors with spice and clove are there, it smells organic. Brew really comes together, smooth. Complex but its depth doesnt really need to be meditated upon. Enjoyable and relaxing beer, I quite liked it. Yeasty spiced finish with light souring twilight. well done.
