Sep 12, 2005 Poured a cloudy, amber brown with a thick, creamy head. Enjoyable, but nothing of great significance to this drinker. From a sampler 6-pack from Van Steenberge

Sep 1, 2005 Light orangey brown color, light tan foamy head that sticks around. Caramel, sweet, clover nose. Just a touch on the cloudy side. Tart attack, almost like orange peel. Hoppy/rye tastes stick around the front of the mouth after the swallow.

Aug 29, 2005 Smells pretty malty, but has a nice amber color. I think that I womehow expected this to be more Belgian and less amber ale, but this is just up to snuff in either category.

Aug 8, 2005 The aroma has both hops and malt but adds a nice subtle nutty hint. The appearance is copper and clear with the head being small. Flavor is great. It is sweet and malty with just the right number of hops. The malt is lightly toasted in taste that carry through to the finish. There is also a sour element but it seems faint and therefor only adds to the complexity. The palate is thin but it does not hurt this since I think its more of a casual easy drinking beer. Its a very good beer and I wish I had another.

Aug 1, 2005 Bottle, part of the global beer network Belgian 6 pk. A nice amber with a decent head that reduced quickly but remained til the end. Mild aromas familliar to belgian styles, caramel and some fruity/banana like tones. Nice and smooth, a real drinker. If I was introducing someone to belgian beer and I knew they were shy towards stronger ales, I’d let them try this one first.
