Nov 5, 2007 Orangy opaque in colour with light lacing head. You can smell the apricot and peach and a bit of the alcohol. The taste is very fruity and has a lot of bite. It’s like a typical strong ale but fruity. It’s a very unexpected twist on a traditional style. This is a very consistent and complex beer. Kudos!

Oct 29, 2007 Bottle. Golden color with a big billowy white head that lasts. Aroma is fruity, cherries, peaches with some funky belgian yeast notes, almost a cough syrupy aroma. Quite flavorful and very easy drinking and quenching for the ABV. Again, fruit with a belgian character, some spicy notes, candi sugar; semi dry with a crisp bite. Full to med body. Very flavorful, very good.

Oct 27, 2007 Bottle. Not bad. Good solid BSA, and lots of Avery character in it. Spicy, yeasty, slight breadiness, and chewier than I expected.

Oct 27, 2007 Bomba. Quite a fan of this label! Bready golden malt with strong, Duveleqsue yeast and a spicy (nutmeg and orange rind) smack in the face. Honey and Belgian candy sugar. Golden pour with nary a head. Taste is malty and spicy with noticeable but relatively well incorporated alcohol, overripe fruit on the rise but the yeast backs of significantly from expectations. Slightly woody and has a nice earthy, somewhat bitter note lurking. Very soft mouthfeel, teeth just sink right into it, and the body heft is somewhere around a fullish medium. Craftsmanship! Nice, pleasant, satisfying - really hit the spot today - but not world-burning.

Oct 17, 2007 bomber. head is slightly lacking, hue is a shimmering amber. aromas - peaches and apricots are dead-on. taste? grapefruit, heavy apricot, yet it leaves something to be desired. palate is spilt: front is hit with fruit and silky smoothness. back and mid are both empty.

Oct 12, 2007 Bottle as shown. Pours a orange golden color with a medium white head that dimishes quickly. Has a stong fruity aroma of tangerine and apples. Good lacing on this one. The taste is a sweet orange and citrus with a smooth finish that hides the alcohol well. A very impressive belgian strong ale from Avery.

Sep 27, 2007 Golden beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet with apple, peach and light malt.
The flavour is sweet and with a nice and complex estery profile. Loads of apples, apricot, hops alcohol and a nice bitter end.
It’s a nice and complex beer. A little drier and I would go nuts!

Sep 18, 2007 Updated: Oct 14, 2007nice color and aroma. head dies fairly quickly, but might have been glass problem. good stuff, agree with other reviews that noticed yeasty flavor and fruit/spice. feels slightly heavy in the mouth, but that’s not so bad.
