notalush (2626), Denver, Colorado, USA Jul 16, 2009 Man, this bottle was downright volcanic - turbid gold beer, with a massive head, and sticky, sudsy lace - the first thing that hits my nose is the smell of blue cheese and a musty, cellared quality - underneath this is a subtle fruity sweetness, and some notes of herbs - the flavor is semi-tart, almost sour, with a strong wheaty tang, light grassy/herbal hints, a very mild funkiness/earthy character - strong spicy character late makes the beer a bit warming - a finish of melon rind and light touch of sweetness - based on the ratings below, there is a lot of bottle variation with this one - this bottle was pretty good, though.

Flavor spicily citrusy (both flesh and rind) along with some strawberry and melon. Fluffy mouthfeel. Nothing too outstanding, but tasty. LilBeerDoctor (1479), East Setauket, New York, USA May 1, 2009 What a cute bottle! Pours a cloudy orange with a thick, foamy, fluffy white head. Aroma of spices (pepper and clove), yeast, a touch of skunk. Flavor of light sweet fruits and light citrus initially with a spicy kick in the finish. Some diacetyl, but only slight. A nice, chill, spicy Belgian. Pretty decent.
