Pours a transparent deep golden with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale Belgian malts and a good amount of bready Belgian yeast and some mild sulfuric notes, Body starts fairly full and sweet with good, authentic Belgian character and some drier earthy bittering hops. A pretty decent Belgian ale.

Jul 14, 2008 12oz bottle, notched on May (bottled on, 2008) thanks to TURDFERGUSON, thank you! Lightly hazy orange caramel with a ring of white head. Pears, apricots, and a bit of apples. Fruity. Cotton candy and spicy yeasty esters are also present. Flavor actually got a bit more fruity, but seemed a bit off somehow. Peach pits show up in the flavor, and it’s a big friggin’ fruit cocktail. Semi-dry finish with bitterness peaking around a 1 to 2. Pretty low carbonation with a medium body. Too much sweet and overripened fruit is going on here, though it wasn’t bad, by any means.

Jul 7, 2008 The aroma is very nice typical of the style. Something in the flavor didn’t seem right. It had a bit of sweetness and some sourness as well but there was something else almost fishy. Since I’m drinking it on the beach, I am discounting the fishiness. Still it’s not bad.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Light amber body with a small white head. Strong perfumy and Belgian yeast aroma with spices, light flower notes, and fruit. Taste is sweet malts, Belgian yeast, fruits, spices, and candy. Body is medium with a strong, but dense, carbonation. The finish adds some bitterness atop of flowery notes, Belgian yeast, candied fruits, spices (clove), and sweet malts. Nicely done Belgian style beer.
