| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Nice looking bright orange with foamy head that recedes quickly and leaves some lacing. Aroma of banana, butterscotch, apples, sour and yeasty. Feel is rich, sticky, boozy but in a good way. Tastes of cinammon, alcohol, it is really good. brownaler (379), Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2003 This brew poured a large sized head of fine to medium sized white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated light brown colored body and a good lace. The aroma was mild with fruity malty doughy and floral notes. The mouthfeel was initially biting and yet it smoothened in the finsh. It had a fruity bannana apricot doughy malty flavor. A very nice brew that gave us a nice buzz. haukur (684), Reykjavik, Iceland

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2004 Pours out of a bomber yellowish orange with a very light yellow head. Very fruiy aroma of mixed dried fruit. Flavor is malty thick with dried fruits and a touch of bandaid that fades. Very thick and smooth. Warming, decent, but maybe a little much for one person, yet great for three... ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 18, 2006 Pours a clear gold color with a long lasting good sized head. Aroma hits you with a peculiarly strong grass. Beyond that though, there’s some honey, pear, and grapes, but the strong spicy grass (?) aroma is the most dominant. Taste starts slightly tangy, but then is immediately sweetened by honey, and some sort of sugary bread malt. There’s a spicy tingle to this beer as well. Intense bread flavors on the finish, and when I breath a bit, that grassy hop quality comes back. It’s also the last remaining characteristic of the finish and is quite pleasant. Mild, but present bitterness and the texture and thickness of the beer is good (medium), but it’s not creamy enough to me. A bit cloying and not enough yeast presence to be convincingly Belgian, but it’s a good beer on its own merits.
