| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 19, 2007 2006 Bomber. Beer is clear, medium golden-brown colored. Head is initially average-to-large, white, frothy. Mostly diminishes, some lacing on the snifter.<P>
The aroma isn’t very Belgian, but it is strong. It’s malty with light notes of cookie, toasted grain; Moderate hop notes of herb, flowers, stinky bitter resin; Yeasty with a light note of dish rag, moderate dough; Light notes of spicy alch, peach/bubble gum, ground pepper.<P>
The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately-to-heavily bitter, lightly acidic with a long, moderately sweet, lightly bitter, warm finish. Some huskiness in the retros.<P>
The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.With this much alcohol I was hoping for something sexier in the mouth. ChristianScheffel (4481), Odense, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 18, 2007 Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and ripe, tropical fruits and fresh hops. Pretty much the Avery house character, which I love. Flavour is also more Avery than Belgian, but on the sweet (and peachy) side. michael-pollack (2644), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2007 22oz. Bottle: Sweet aroma is very complex. Notes of fruit, blueberry, bubblegum, peach, yeast, and nutmeg. Poured golden in color with a big, creamy, off-white/light yellow head that lasted throughout. Very good lacing. Clear and lightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily sweet and lightly sour but not bitter. Tastes heavily of nutmeg and cinnamon. Also hints of coriander and tart cherry. Medium to full body. Flat to soft carbonation. Finish is long and tart/sour. Finish almost makes you pucker your lips. Overall, interesting. I liked it better than I thought I might.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 9, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Hazy gold with a restrained white head that settles quickly. Some yeast, light fruit, and spice in the aroma with a little toffee thrown in. Bright effervescence accompanies a medium body and astringent mouthfeel. Mild sweetness quickly fades, giving way to an light acidic sourness that ocntributes to a clean finish with the help of some gentle bitterness. jason (1621), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2007 Bottle. What a nice surpise from Avery considering that I’ve been disappointed from most of their beers. This one turned out to be fabulous! Poured a clear golden body, thin head but left a nice ring and lots of carbonation. Aroma is of mangoes, grapes, spices and yeast. Flavor was sweet but with a dry mouthfeel. Very happy with this one.
