Feb 3, 2003 Hazy orange/amber with lots of sediment and active carbonation. Thin but lasting head, minimal lace. Aroma of leather, oranges, spices, flowers, must and others. Thin to medium bodied, creamy texture and feel that boasts some nice flavors. Hints of citrus mixed with belgium yeasts (quick flash of orval), underlying malts (not too well defined) and lots of hidden complexities, maybe a bit of horseblanket? Alcohol is evident but just a character enhancer, its a bit thin but this is quite enjoyable.

Dec 14, 2003 This is a good Belgian Strong ale. Fruity, sweet, and mild spicy flavors. Finishes light, clean, and smooth.

Jun 3, 2005 750mL bottle. Slightly murk medium orange with creamy head and lacing. Fruity nose with some orange notes. Nice creamy texture. The flavor has a fruity and spicy charater that is very Belgian-like. Very nice beer.

Jun 23, 2005 This beer was very expensive, and very underwhelming. I was extremely disappointed in how thin and lacking of flavors it was.

Jun 15, 2004 Champagne-esque pop, frothy beyond belief. Very fruity aroma, something like bubblegum, vanilla, nectarines, with a hint of hazlenut. Loads of sediment in the ensuing yeast storm. Decent palate, very silky yet robust feel that stirs echoes of Belgium’s better selections. This ambrosial mélange embodies the etheral countenance of an accomplished brewer. I dare say it is the best thing since chewable liqour.

May 2, 2005 Updated: May 3, 2005Couleur ambrée tirant vers l’oranger, orné d’une faible mousse brune pale pleinement diminuante. Arômes très convaincants de pâtisseries françaises, de pâte d’amande, de vanille et d’épices variées. La levure est très marquée en bouche et sa présence rappelle celle de la terre et des feuilles mortes d’automne alors que les flaveurs empruntent la plupart de leur identité aux arômes. Corps d’épaisseur moyenne, carbonatation très active. Une faible dose d’alcool se manifeste en retro-olfaction. Appréciable, inhabituel et certainement vive comme image.

Dec 29, 2002 Quickly diminishing head. Copper amber color. Some floaties. Sweet flavor. Alcohol well concealed. Floaties are a little unappetizing. Tastes almost Belgian in mouthfeel.
