| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 29, 2008 Finally got around to opening this one. Bit carbonated, but otherwise much lighter than other sweeter, maltier grand crus I’ve had. Little bit of spice and that Belgian ale taste. I’d like the caramel a bit more pronounced...like Alesmith’s. gotbeach (138), San Diego, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 29, 2008 Bottle batch 18. Funny thing is I don’t remember buying this beer, but there it was in my fridge, so the dude abides. Yellow orange pour with a white head. Smells of cloves and friut. Good carbination. Finishes very nice and dry, yet leaves a long smooth aftertaste. hayduke (1679), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 26, 2008 From a corked and caged 750 bottle, this poured a cloudy orange with a light orange head with big bubbles and major league lacing. Nose is of oranges and malts, with a hint of coriander. Mouthfeel is fizzy yet it is sticky on the back of the tongue. Flavor is sweet and of malts, oranges and apricots. Dry finish with some spices. A little hard to finish the glass.
