Radek Kliber (3926), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada Nov 8, 2005 Clean amber, small crown on top. Sweet, fruity aroma, noticeable alcohol. Medium-light body, soft texture, some wheat like character. Alcoholic finish. This al would benefit from lower alcohol content. alcoholica (128), Dublin, Ohio, USA Nov 5, 2005 golden pour, slight brass color. Big head, nose is very fruity and sweet. The flavor is spicey and fruity with notable hops, definate taste in the alcohol.good beer, I prefer their reverand better. tjthresh (1746), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Nov 3, 2005 Poured into my Duvel glass. Golden boardering on orange. Started with a huge head but disipated to just a thin layer on top. No visable carbonation. Crystal clear. Upon the first whiff, honey, perfume, spicey yeast character (clove, cinnamon), and some apricot.
Now the drink. Pear, alcohol, sweet, and sticky. I don’t detect any hops. Its kind of solventy at the end. I think its a fine beer. I may even be drinking this too warm. Fine enough beer. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA Nov 2, 2005 Bottled. Aromas of honey and oranges. The flavor is a bit dusty with malt notes. Finishes a bit hot and dry. jefcon (997), Arlington, Virginia, USA Oct 15, 2005 Gold in the glass with a brief white variable head. Some lacing. Fantastic label. Aromas are strong pit fruit, especially peach, and some lemon. There is a malt presence here, too, slightly nutty, along with some soapiness of yeast. Astringent beer, with some clove/cinnamon spice and a light finish. Soft palate, yes, but at the cost of the hops. Still, a delicate, fine brew if you aren’t looking for a hop-heavy Belgian strong. JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Oct 8, 2005 Avery did not live up to their name this time. This ale is fairly simple. There is a sweet malt aroma. The flavor has an odd herbal quality. Sweet, with a dry finish. Decent palate, fairly smooth, until it gets near room temperature and becomes more difficult to drink. oh6gdx (8801), Vasa, Finland Oct 3, 2005 Bottled. Dark golden colour, small white head. Fruity caramellish and hoppy aroma. Sweet caramellish fruity hoppy flavour. Fruit in aftertaste. Very pleasant and welldone beer. ante (2904), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 1, 2005 (bottle sampled at Stockholm Beer Festival) Golden with a large fluffy white head. Dry aroma of oranges, white bread and pepper. Sweet flavour of oranges and spices with a really dry aftertaste of orange-peels, pepper, alchohol and hops. Great beer!
