| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 10, 2009 12 oz bottle from Canal’s. Pours a good looking deep amber with an orange hue and an average size bubbly off white head. Aroma is very subdued, slight tangerine, grapes and tropical fruit combined with yeast, grains and caramel malts. Body is medium to full with averge carbonation and a spicey finish. Flavor is even more elusive then the aroma, grains, malts, yeast , some fruitiness is there as well but nothing to give it enough flavor to really set itself apart from all the other averge beers out there. boFNjackson (1322), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Bottle... Poured burnt orange with a thick white head, a little bit of sediment was floating around too. Nice big ester aroma with raisins, floral hops and sweet malt. Thin, well-carbonated palate. Flavors a little similar to the aroma, but more muddled. Citrus and other spices before a dry finish. brewski519 (433), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Pours an amber color with a thin white head - aroma of fruit, spice, honey and orange. Taste is hoppy, yeasty, and sweet with some citrus and spice. I really enjoyed this beer but did not come across as a Belgian Ale at all to me. Tasted more like an APA than anything - maybe just me.. who knows. hayduke (1674), Eureka, California, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2009 On tap at brewery. Poured a golden orange with a dense one finger head. Aroma is grassy, floral and is slightly citrus with a straw note. The taste is light and ever so fruity. There is a bit of tartness in the initial taste and a sour note but overall this finishes dry with bits of lemon and slight spice. A high carbnation and dry finish bring out slight hops. Refreshing and easy to drink. hophead21112 (123), Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Slightly hazy orange pour with a decent sized white head, average retention, not much lacing. Aroma is yeasty fruity esters and spice, barnyard funk. Flavor is a little on the bland side, unfortunately. Starts off with the carbonation and peach/apricot sweetness which leads to a mildly tangy finish. Smooth medium-light body with moderate carbonation and no alcohol warmth. A good session beer but mediocre overall.
