| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2008 750ml bottle pours golden amber with a faint haze to the body and large, overflowing off-white head on top.Super sweet candy sugar nose with a minerally chemical band-aid yeast note. Very sweet throughout the drink, a lot of crystalline candy sugar and fruity lemon and candy orange flavors, along with that same minerall/dust yeast flavor. Nothing major to complain about, but the presentation and price warrants something a little more interesting. JK (2966), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 17, 2008 This is an excellent beer. Belgian yeast in the aroma with malt and spices, citrus, coriander, flowers. Sweet flavor with some salt. Orange, and lots of yeast that gives a flavor like a beer from Abbaye des Rocs. beachbum25 (802), Powellville, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 5, 2008 750 Ml Bottle-Cloudy, off orange color w/a moderate, white head. Sweet, spiced, Belgian aroma. Nice, crisp, Belgian w/flavors of grass, cane sugar, light fruit, spices/pepper, floral hop, vanilla, banana, & orange peel. Had a bit of a dry, malt backbone. Had a lot going on, but not in a bad way. Kind of rough & gamey, not overly filtered. Long, spiced finish which left you wanting more. Quite enjoyable. bhensonb (4369), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2008 750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from Wine Specialist. Coppery color with a multi-finger off-white head. Aromas of floral hop over lightly roasted malt, with a light spice note. Medium body with frothy, creamy carbonation. Flavor is rather sweet, with light stone fruit and spice; could be a bit of citrus peel. Noticed a light dose of pepper in the finish. Finishes drier than it started. Tasty. Leaves my mouth feeling good. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2008 Poured from a 750 ml bottle, yeast blended. Cloudy, sandy apricot orange appearance. Floral lemongrass and baked apple aroma; tart, and fragrant. Soft, cookie-like malt presence. Herbal tranquility presides in the flavor, cool and calm, of leafy mint, jasmine, cinnamon stalk and a whiff of vanilla alcohol. Medium-full palate is initially sharp with carbonation but easily softened; lots of creamy almond sweetness in the middle, and a warm finish of dough and caramelized pears. Classy. Thanks Bob!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Courtesy of Skyview. Hazy copper color with a thin head. Strong orange and citrus aroma, along with a bit of toast. More toastiness in the flavor. A bit of Noble hop floral. Sweet malt finish. Skyview (4077), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 24, 2008 Received 750ml bottle via Secret Santa. Pours a hazy orange amber brew with a thick, spritzy and rocky head that has some excellent retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of honey, multi-grain malt, some cloves, banana esters, orange zest, candi sugar and a touch of grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied, well-carbonated with flavors of coriander, multi-grain malt, cloves, candi sugar and a touch of tart cherries. Finish is slightly dry with a lingering clove and banana aftertaste. Flavor overall hides any alcohol character is this Belgian Ale. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2008 Courtesy Beerlando. Slightly cloudy light amber color, nice tight white head. Slight peppery and herbal tones back some sweetness and Belgian yeast aromas. Pretty straightforward sweet grainy Belgian taste. Pretty stock, but a nice offering.
