| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2008 From a good looking bottle purchased at Belmont Station in PDX, OR--Poured a very very hazy orange-copper body with an initially big but quickly dissipated head. Well carbonated body with a thin vinous mildly floral nose. Citrusy and yeasty. Quite mild; alcohol is well masked. Very nice beer to open for New Years Eve! bhensonb (4245), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Bottle. Fruity and floral aromas, along with a bit of caramel. Color is sort of apricot and the white head stayed awhile, though it did not lace. Full bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Starts a little citric sour, some light stone fruits, touch of funk. The finish is dry, nigh astringent, with some citrus and a moderate amount of hop bitter. Leaves my mouth rather tingly. It just gets better as time proceeds. thewolf (5727), Kolding, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 14, 2007 Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a hazy orange with loads of small particles floating around. Head is foamy, fizzy, slightly geyish and frankly, rather unappealing. Aroma is caramel, fruity orange tartness. Some exotic fruits as well and a dose of yeast. High carbonation. Flavour is surprising compared to the aroma, thus is musky, barnyard, light tart. The fruitiness is subdued, matured and relatively mild. Alcohol is nowhere to be found. Extremely balanced, nowhere near pretty, but rather nice. brentfeesh (1037), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2007 When I purchased this beer I was under the assumption (from the store owner) that it was a sour ale. Well, I guess it was a little sour, but in no way was this the Flemish sour I was looking for. Overall I thought it was drinkable but the light sour mixed with the heavier Belgian strong ale influences (fruit, yeast, etc) just did not work for me. I was looking for refreshing and got interesting. fonefan (11099), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 9, 2007 Updated: Nov 13, 2007750ml Bottle. Pours an amber red in color with yeast hovering near the bottom after settling. With sweet malt, apple, caramel, cinnamon, nuttiness, plum, marmalade jelly, and perfume on the nose. This beer does an average job of translating these appetizing notes. The palate is medium bodied. The flavor is a tad sour, but soon turns sweet with bitter fruit notes. Overall, the nose is more pleasing than the actual taste. Well, for me, that is. diabbolo (2), Varallo Sesia, Italy does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Nov 1, 2007 one of the best beer of the "le baladin" brewery.
