Nov 17, 2003 Tasted in Toronto from LCBO. Rust, orange colour, large cumulous head - sustained well in the glass. Very light aroma / scent. Very difficult to tell - hmmm possibly some spice and malt. Little or no hop balance. Slight 'soapy' scent. Taste is very spicy and well hopped. Interesting I couldn't pick this up in the scent - slight bitter finish, clean.

Jul 20, 2003 Coppery orange with a HUGE white head - really a nice looking beer. Clean, crisp malt aroma. Citrusy foamy woodsy and maybe a little mustytasting, Long, earthy finish, that is crisp and peppary.

Jul 12, 2003 Nice & Toasty. Sweetish citrus aroma. Medium brownish color but relatively clear. Not really my favorite style of beer but very good nonetheless.

Jun 11, 2002 A very light amber with good body. Better than most American ales but can’t hold up to the other offerings by Brouwerij Van Steenberge. Or robocop.

Mar 5, 2004 HUGE sudsy head lasts forever! Aroma of sour apples, sweet yeast. Tastes fizzy, carbonated, and dry. Not the greatest belgian ale I've tried, but still quite nice.

Nov 17, 2002 Oily residue in the finish.
Straw color, white head.
Nice lacing.
Nice hop balance.
On the acidic (phenol) side for a Belgian.

Nov 2, 2003 Pours a hazy brown with large amounts of white head. High levels of carbonation throughout the beer. Musty nose of caramel and fruit. Slightly bitter flavors of fruit and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is a bit light and very bubbly. Nothing to get overly excited about, but nice.

Dec 30, 2007 33 cl bottle. Part of a sampler six of vSteen. beers from <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/oak-forest in Oak Forest, meaning it may have set awhile without air conditioning. I’d think to start with the lightest abv beer, which would have suffered most. So, this one frothed over when opened, even after being in my fridge for two months. Healthy looking foam in the glass, but it shriveled away quickly. Managed to preserve a nice Belgian malt smell with a little sourness. Color is reddish-amber with gold outlines, a watercolor of a beer in my tulip glass. Millions of unfiltered particles well-distributed. Taste shows a little of that sourness that may be from getting warm, but not a bad off flavor. A bit of strawberry nectar, too. Golden pils or vienna level malt, offset by a little bitterness. Prickly carbonation. I’d have thought it bottle conditioned, but no yeast at the bottom. Kind of a less sour version of some old Jenlain Six I once had. Not bad. I’d hope to someday find an assuredly fresher one.
