Jan 10, 2009 Bottle that my dad picked up for me at Bitter Virtue, Southampton, Hants, consumed 09-01-09. Pours golden with a nice white head. Wow this is fantastically Belgian, wonderful spicy nose but also nice and clean and crisp tasting as well, very well defined. Nice and tangy in the right places, bit fruity, good warmth from the alcohol, sweet but not cloying decent soft carbonation. Excellent beer. A8 A4 F8 P4 OV15 3.9

Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottle from NYbeer, thanks Steven! Poured a lightly hazy yellow color with a thick white head that left some nice rings of lacing. Aroma consists of spicy clove, some light phenolic (bandaid) notes, fruit (banana, orange, tangerine), and a soft yeastiness. Dry, lightly funky entry with some soft breadiness and hints of wheat and phenols lead into a juicy fruitiness that includes pineapple, tangerine, and banana with some clove spice that is dried out by a dusty yeastiness and a light earthy, flowery hoppiness on the finish. Decent mouthfeel that begins a bit watery but then dries out nicely. Overall, an enjoyable beer hat I wouldn’t mind having around to drink on certain occasions. Thanks again Steven.

Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Feb 4, 2009(Bottled, 0.75l) Slightly hazy golden (opaque orange with yeast) with a medium, tight and creamy head. Duvel-like aroma of yeast, pale-grainy malt, and honey-witbierish spices. Neutral, smoothly pale-malty, berry-fruity flavor with yeastiness, some flowery hops and lavendery-orange-peel spices, and a touch of acidity. Only slightly smoother with yeast, but hides the alcohol well all the way. Velvety-smooth, pretty high- but soft-carbonated palate with medium body. A well-made, clean and basic, Duvel-like Belgian Strong.

Great looking opalescent yellow with a tall, lacy head. Flavor is pleasant, lightly spiced but seems a bit underdone for a 9% brew.
Served this beer with and after a dinner of northern Indian food and it adapted nicely to everything but the most peppery dish:

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy with a lot of head. Had a nice citrus taste, with a little bit of spice. Very nice.

Jan 2, 2009 750. Hazy golden pour with creamy head. nose of sweet lemon with some spiciness. peppery lemon, quite sweet and yeasty. a bit indistinct, not incredibly refined but a wonderful thing to see coming out of brooklyn. wish it were sharper, maybe some brett for a nice note.

Jan 1, 2009 750ml bottle with at least a year on it. Pours a clear light golden yellow with a towering foamy white head, great retention and lacing. Aroma is lemon rind, citrus, and belgian yeast spiciness. Flavor is light and drinkable, with more spice, citrus and a little breadiness. Not at all what I was expecting on this one; for some reason I was expecting a sticky sweet, darker malty experience rather than something so light and drinkable. Good stuff.
