The flavor was a bit all over the place and nothing was bad, but nothing was impressive. pilsnerrogge (1792), Finspång, Sweden

Hazy deep orange color, small vanishing white head. Very strong peach fruity aroma, a bit yeasty too - similar to some big American Belgian style ales. Crisp carbonation. Quite dry, very grapefruity and alcoholic with backing spices and orange peels. My bottle is not sweet at all, more like bitter tripel with light grapefruity sour note in the aftertaste. Simple but quite drinkable. daniele (1748), Italy

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 23, 2008 22oz bottle. Unremarkable belgian yeast nose with some fruit and bread. Pours with a huge head. Orange with a white puffy head. The taste is much better than the smell and appearance would lead you to expect. Full rich, but with a ton of carbonation to keep it going down smooth. Definite fruit and some belgian yeast at the end. Sweet but not overly so. This is a nice solid effort by the Italians. cheeta (904), Langå, Denmark

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 4, 2008 Bottle… Murky golden ale with a huge, frothy, off-white head that diminishes to a small, creamy, everlasting cap. Fruity, breadsy, tropical aroma. Light-bodied and very fizzy. Well-balanced, crisp, clean flavor that borders on non-descript. Not unpleasant in the least - refreshing. I would have never guessed the abv is 10%. Finishes snappy and a touch fruity. Thanks to SoLan for sharing the bottle.
