Apr 13, 2008 Hazy orange brown pour. Lots of white head. Yeasty, doughy aroma. Some sour citrus fruit notes. A bittersweet yet sour fruitiness with lots of hops. Some alcohol. Actually not much flavor to it. Mostly yeast with some hops. Not bad, but not great.

Apr 12, 2008 750 ml bottle. Shared with Bartzilla and a bunch of others. Nice color, nice aroma and a great name. Unfortunately, the beer wasn’t great, although it was pretty good. Some interesting sour flavors were a bit of a distraction. Bottle says this was $22. No way in hell was it worth that kind of coin.

Apr 5, 2008 Good sized white head of medium sized bubbles. Lots of carbonation that keeps a nice head on the surface. Vanilla wafers, soft malts, cinnamon and some strange vegetal aromas. Color is a cloudy ruddy brown. Medium bodied, fruity flavor with some grapes and pear. Lively in the mouth. Lots of carbonation. Sort of malty with a bit of spice. Finishes kind of dry and pasty. An ok brew but not one that i would wan to try again or spend the money for again!

Apr 1, 2008 This was pretty good, almost bitter by my standards, so for a Belgain that’s saying something. Very herbal hoppy aroma and flavor.

Mar 30, 2008 Thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this one. Bronze, clear pour with an average sized, white head with good lacing. Notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, reaspberries and cherries. Acidic taste that also reinforces the raspberry impression. Unbalanced, and not great. Very fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Mar 29, 2008 Great looking BSA. Orange reddish color with a nice light brown head. Nose is sweet and very pleasant, some hops maybe and a bit of bitterness. Nice nose. Tate is a bit different somewhat unbalanced and acidic. Oddly sweet and the mouthfeel is akward to say the least. Intriguing but the taste is where this beer lacks. Some fruity notes were also picked up in the taste which is odd because it appears no fruit is used in the brewing process.

Mar 27, 2008 750mL bottle. Dark amber orange color with a large off white head. Fruity, estery aroma, some applejuice and faint spice. Sharp, spicy flavors up front. Some malty sweetness then manifests. Ruddy, herbal hoppiness and lingering spicy esters. Chalky bitterness in the finish, yeasty flavors persist. Mouthfeel is medium, somewhat dry.

Mar 19, 2008 Rating # 600!! 750ml bottle acquired in trade with Beachbum25. A nice clear ruby pour with a head that was good size and off white. At first whiff reminded me of grape juice. As the beer warmed, more of the standard Belgian aromas started to become present. This was a pretty damn good Belgian strong ale. Thanks Jim!
