| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 29, 2008 (USA) Courtesy of AFI96, thx Waylo. This Belgium style ale had a nice hazy orange color with a thin white head. The aroma was of dry fruits, apples,and bananas. The taste is of caramel, and spices. You could really taste the alcohol and the lacing was above average, Finish was bitter and kinda dry, The texture was not what i expected. Avery has some very interesting beers, check them out. crazyvin (1248), New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2008 Poured a nice orange golden hue with a white head which had great retention and lacing. Aroma was bread-like and sweet with sugar like notes. Flavor was mild but still good. Sweet sugar notes, some fruit, and hints of alcohol. A delicate finish. afireinside96 (826), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 28, 2008 After smelling this one I thought it was gonna be a knockout, but man was I wrong. Has very pleasant Belgian style aroma with some dried apples and apricots. The flavor is a different story altogether though with tons of unfermented sugars making it a sweet cloying mess. Harsh alcohol is present in both smell and flavor. Avery seems to have a problem with lazy yeasts because this isnt’t the first of their beers to have an overly sweet flavor.

Aroma is spice bread, and yeasty apricot.
Bready caramel malt flavour, light grassy bitterness and a slightly stickey alcohol finish.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 25, 2008 I purchased this bottle in 2006. I must say the age did not treat this beer well. Gold pour with white head. spicy aroma and flavor with notable notes of cardboard leaving me to believe it is oxidized kiefdog (1585), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2008 50cl bottle from Countryside Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly cloudy dark golden color with a thick, creamy white head. Smells sweet and flowery with notes of caramel, spice, fresh flowers, and malt. Taste is much of the same with notes of malt, caramel, spice, and fresh grass/hay. Slight but pervasive bitterness throughout and especially on finish. Generally creamy mouthfeel with slight notes of faint coffee on finish. VitaminR (426), Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 24, 2008 Huge spicy doughy nose. Brilliant gold color, big head, nice lacing. Sweet honey, with a nice funky bitterness for balance. Thick body, creamy viscous mouth feel, with a long complex finish. Really interesting and tasty Belgian-style ale. Almost like a high-alcohol Leffe Blonde. puggy211 (584), cordova, Tennessee, USA
