Had a little side-by-side tasting. Poured kind of flat at first but coaxed a nice head after refilling my glass. Lovely golden color. Quite clear. Lovely fruit (orange, orange peel and peach) aroma, along with strong spice on the nose. None of the doughy/floury/yeasty notes of some true Belgians, but the fruit and spice on this one are quite nice. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 4, 2005 A pale straw gold color attached to a thinly sized layer of head. The nose is both spicey and fruity with a apricot like aroma. First sip caught me off guard and had my face going sour even though its not a sour beer. It’s an interesting flavor made up of what i would think is a domestic form of yeast, sweet malt, and bitter hops. There is a little reminder of the spice from the aroma given off in the drink, but it’s lurking deep behind the unripe apricot. wilkie (1191), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
